That is an amazing contribution and I really like the portal onto other worlds. I also liked a lot your essay, that is very interesting. I would like to come back to one point:
Perhaps it is the same for scientists and they instead follow up with designing and implementing experimentation to prove the insight gleaned in a moment of inspiration, but I suspect that it more often starts from the realm of logic and the conscious.
Sometimes, things start around a coffee or a drink. Just some crazy cool idea that we discuss along jokes and chitchat... Then on the next day, we get more serious and the crazy idea becomes something concrete and not crazy at all.
At the end, it is always conscious, but maybe not always in the sense we can imagine (although this more regular way of building projects happens very regularly too).
That’s really interesting to hear about how inspiration for theories/experiments comes about @lemouth
I had a friend who did a PHD in physics many moons ago when I was in university studying writing. I think this is where my assumption that the spark of ideas for scientific ideas did come from the conscious rather than the subconscious.
I remember nights out with him and his friends and often I would be baffled by their conversations. Sometimes I could follow along to a point and then would get lost where my knowledge failed me. It was always fun hanging out with them though.
I'm glad you enjoyed the art and creative musings. When I read the announcement for this LMAC/STEM collaboration I agreed wholeheartedly with the reasoning behind it. I think that science and the arts are two of the most important aspects that have driven human society in a positive direction - although there are exceptions to this generalisation - but I think in most cases it holds true.
Thanks for checking out my blog and art 🙂
