Scientists (well at least a majority of them) dont go into the field or the lab with the hopes of making millions discovering a new element (though certainly not to say that science doesn't "pay off"), scientists have the progress of mankind at heart. In many cases, art is about making money, certainly mainstream commercial art. The point is, scientists would love to see students studying their discoveries without paying a royalty. The same cannot be said about entertainment artists.patrick morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235386739469969455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736917697971066915.post-42590401144335895772008-09-15T21:22:00.000-07:002008-09-15T21:22:00.000-07:00i read about the LHC during political science clas...i read about the LHC during political science class, sounds pretty interesting. i think science is for discovery while art is for something along the lines of enjoymentCorey Laubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07880806294104790223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736917697971066915.post-13262215515508226602008-09-14T21:41:00.000-07:002008-09-14T21:41:00.000-07:00I'd like to think science is an art, but not alway...I'd like to think science is an art, but not always vice versa. Science is (hopefully) conducted to enrich and advance everyone (Edison probably didn't create the light bulb for his exclusive use, etc). It is a presentation of fact.Depending on the nature of the discovery, science can be very artistic (how pretty DNA structure is, discovered by Watson and Crick). <BR/>On the other hand, art on a whole is more of a mode of self-expression. It is a presentation of opinion. While one may agree with another's opinion and/or appreciate it; it's illegal to claim that particular presentation as your own. Unless it's not copyrighted.. then whatever.<BR/><BR/>As for the large hadron collider: CERN's at it again, except this time their research is going to cost us the earth being swallowed by a huge black hole, and we're going to pop out into another dimension.HAYNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735441283013675926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736917697971066915.post-49412545236481311802008-09-11T08:13:00.000-07:002008-09-11T08:13:00.000-07:00Very interesting.

Scientists are relatively passive observers when compared to artists. True it takes years of research and education to make a discovery, but the second a scientist or any other person manipulates nature and it's laws for his or her purpose they become an artist.levnclfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431415326096696699noreply@blogger.com
