Truth and Beauty: The Role of Aesthetics in Mathematics and Physics
Dijkgraaf , Robbert
Truth and Beauty: The Role of Aesthetics in Mathematics and Physics - Wiley 2019 - Vol 89, Issue 5, 2019 : (20-25 p.)
Robbert Dijkgraaf, a mathematical physicist at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, explains that beauty's roots can be difficult to pin down. They can exist in the movement of atoms and molecules at the microcosmic scale, and can be found in emergent macrocosmic scales such as the swarming of birds, in generic phenomena and also in exceptional events.
