"Both art and physics are unique forms of language. Each has a=20

lexicon of symbols that is used in a distinctive syntax. Their very
different and specific contexts obscure their connection to everyday
language as well as to each other. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy just
how often the terms of one can be applied to the concepts of the =
other.

=93relationship,=94 and =93density=94 are descriptive words that are =
heard
repeatedly if you trail along with a museum docent. They also appear
on the blackboards of freshman college physics lectures. The proponents
of these two diverse endeavors wax poetic about elegance, symmetry,
beauty, and aesthetics. While physicists demonstrate that A equals B
or that X is the same as Y, artists often choose signs, symbols, and
allegories to equate a painterly image with a feature of experience.
Both of these techniques reveal previously hidden relationships."
