“The simplest forms in the universe are the sphere and the circle. I represent them by disks and then I vary them... spheres of different sizes, densities, colours and volumes, floating in space, traversing clouds, sprays of water, currents of air, viscosities and odours - of the greatest variety and disparity.” DifferentFormUniverseWaterSpaceAirCloudsSizeCurrentsCirclesVarietyColourSpheresVolumeFloatingSimplestVarySprayDisparityDensityDiskFloating In Space Author:Alexander Calder

“Contrast is the intangible ingredient, the catalyst that makes life exciting. The human mind rejects monotony even to the point of destroying itself in madness, when monotony is forced upon it for too long. ... Contrast gives variety and interest, whether it be in the universe as a whole with its light and darkness, its ceaseless motion and constant change, its creation of worlds and destruction of others.” WorldGivingMindHumansLongWholeLightUniverseInterestDarknessCreationDestructionExcitingMadnessConstantVarietyRejectsIngredientsHuman MindDestroyingContrastLight And DarknessCatalystIntangibleLight And DarkMonotonyCreation Of The World Author:Maren Elwood
“For centuries before Google, MIT, and IDEO, modern hotbeds of innovation, we struggled to explain any kind of creation, from the universe itself to the multitudes of ideas around us. While we can make atomic bombs, and dry-clean silk ties, we still don't have satisfying answers for simple questions like: Where do songs come from? Are there an infinite variety of possible kinds of cheese? How did Shakespeare and Stephen King invent so much, while we're satisfied watching sitcom reruns? Our popular answers have been unconvincing, enabling misleading, fantasy-laden myths to grow strong.” KindHas BeensStillsIdeasSongUniverseStrongGrowsSimpleAnswersFantasyModernCenturyCreationKingsInnovationInfiniteCleanMythSatisfiedVarietyTiesDryBombsSatisfyingCheeseGoogleMultitudesMisleadSilkSitcomEnablingAtomic BombMitReruns Author:Scott Berkun
“Macroscopic objects, as we see them all around us, are governed by a variety of forces, derived from a variety of approximations to a variety of physical theories. In contrast, the only elements in the construction of black holes are our basic concepts of space and time. They are, thus, almost by definition, the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe.” UniverseForceBlackSpacePerfectObjectsTheoryElementsConceptsDefinitionsHolesVarietyConstructionContrastTime And SpaceBlack HoleApproximation Author:Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar
