@Oran, the equation under the flock of birds is Bernoulli equation.

This isn’t quite right, scenes of nature require natural units.

Both pictures are valid accounts of the world, but I’m inclined to agree that simplicity is an illusion, and would personally prefer a world of rich depth and added meaning made possible through human endeavours to understand, constanly question and laboriously search for answers…What’s the point in being here if we dont learn?

Besides, ignorance really hasn’t been bliss, has it?

Come on. The second picture has all the beauty of the first, it just has more beauty piled on top of that. There is plenty we don’t know, but those unmentioned gaps don’t make the second view uglier — they only add to it’s _potential_ beauty … except where the second view explicitly quotes something I don’t recognize. What is the equation under the flock of birds saying? Is it classical mechanics?

The carrot would be purple in the natural world.
Only cultivated by the Dutch to an orange.

The alt text is so wrong…

Understanding the nature of nature only makes it more beautiful. The first picture just illustrates the delusion of simplicity.

Understanding the second picture is what makes the first one so beautiful.

become complicated like that… maybe scientist need some refreshing…

Woah! Scientists can see neutrinos?! I was about to change my major to engineering but forget that…

Oh My God!!!
Guyz this is only a mere depiction of how scientists(geeky one’s) miss the REAL BEAUTY of nature thinking about “why is it the way it is”…sometimes just “let it be” the way it is and just enjoy the “beauty”(i’m sure beauty cannot be formulated)!!!
This is not about how accurate the formulae are…so don’t fight over it guyz…I’m sure every one of you can find out the governing equations of everything in the picture, but that isn’t the point here…it’s exactly the opposite!!!

I agree, but it’s awfully nice to be able to turn it off sometimes and just let the top picture wash over you.

False. I only see Maxwell’s equations in covariant form.
