This painting by Dawn Meson depicts Kaluza Klein states from extra dimensions. Dawn Meson lives in the Bay Area and given her name is clearly destined to paint particle physics themes! Several of her paintings adorn the hallways here at SLAC (alas, none on the theory group floor); this one is my favorite.
No paintings depicting extra dimensions adorn the hallways of the theory group floor…hmmm…Perhaps theorists do not need the crutch of artistic expression to aid them in conceptualizing extra dimensions.

Those of you liking these paintings might like other Klein items adorning your working or living space. The infamous Cliff Stoll seen here wearing a klein bottle scarf and his Acme company are making Klein bottles in a variety of sizes, calibrated or uncalibrated, special-order too (I like the Spiral top Kleindensor. He takes a personalized approached to his customers; I’ve always received nice notes when I buy them (I like giving them as gifts). His site is good for any possible play on the Klein bottle theme. And no, I’m not receiving kick-backs.

I second that, Amara! When I bought my Klein bottle in 2004 he even apologised for re-electing W. 😉
As for the art, I am less impressed: It looks a bit like a Mathematica rendering to me. For extra-dimensional art, check out Marcel Duchamp’s Nude descending a staircase.

Hi JoAnne, love all Kaluza Klein states Art
That one’s gone straight into my ‘private’ collection.
However I think my favourite, gosh how does one choose among the stars in the firmament, but my favourite style of artwork and colours remains the picture in The Hunt for Hidden Dimensions: http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/lectures/info_2006/2006_04_25.htm

But that is just Me. lol!
Have a great weekend

The precession of relativistic orbits makes for a pretty display. It’s not done, and I’m not sure of the accuracy, but it’s getting there: Gravity Simulation

Thanks Q, that glass work is lovely!

Hi Amara, you are welcome!
Thought you’d like it.
I owed you one so to speak.

I have a Picture, of my idea of what a blackhole is like, it’s computer art. I’ve toned down the colours a little, well… A lot really, but it still has complex patterns. May look like, there is nothing to see at first. Don’t stare at it too long.
Maybe David Hestenes [ASU] is correct “complex phase factors have a physical origin that has noting [sp] to do with probability per se” in ‘The Kinematic Origin of Complex Wave Functions’! http://modelingnts.la.asu.edu/pdf/Kinematic.pdf
Can spinors be composed sequentially into twistors that may resemble the noncommutative geometry of Alain Connes?
