This art remind me of the minimal surfaces graphed at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI)

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’!

Can spinors be composed sequentially into twistors that may resemble the noncommutative geometry of Alain Connes?

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.

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

Thanks Q, that glass work is lovely!

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:

Hi Amara, if you like glass you might want to have a look at the wikipedia pic

I like Duchamp’s as well. Even Penrose needed help using Escher and the understanding of the tessellations? Other things?

A certain dependance I speculate over an “ancient thought” on lines, with regards to “shadows and light” that are interdependant?

Cubist art revolted against the restrictions that perspective imposed. Picasso’s art shows a clear rejection of the perspective, with women’s faces viewed simultaneously from several angles. Picasso’s paintings show multiple perspectives, as though they were painted by someone from the 4th dimension, able to see all perspectives simultaneously.

“Quantum gravity” perspectives are a good way to proceed?

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:

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

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.
