MANY DIMENSIONS OF THE ART

The man loves art. He fills space and time with art. He can create art in any dimension.

Lines and curves are one-dimensional art. Also frieze and calligraphy.

Painting, photographs are two-dimensional art.

Sculpture, architecture are 3-dimensional art forms.
If we add 'time' (fourth dimension) to these spatial dimensions, what it will yield?
If we add 'time' to one dimension, we get 'music'.
If we add time to photo (2-dimensional), we get a movie.

Adding time to frozen actors yields drama and theatre.

If you move the time to and fro in a movie or drama, you get historical or science fiction. If time takes many paths, you get a variety of stories with many endings (black mirror in Netflix).

Fractional dimensions also exist
A straight line occupies one dimension. A photo fills two dimensions. Suppose, you create an intricate pattern on a sheet of paper with a pencil, its dimension is between 1 and 2. A fractional dimension.

A solid stone pillar occupies three dimensions. Suppose you carve out some figurines in the pillar, its dimension goes below two.
Adding time (motion) to cartoons (fractional dimension) gives animation.
A white moon on a black sheet looks great. A sprinkle of rose flowers in a green field looks beautiful. A white chalk writing on a blackboard yields information. Hence fractional dimensional art has great scope and beauty.

BEYOND DIMENSIONS
1. Mathematical fractals are itself an art -form.

CREATED BY MATH.

2. Fourier theory says that any curve, any repeated pattern can be represented as " a combination of sine waveforms".
3. Suppose you scan a painting. The picture is divided into numbers of lines. Each line further divided into no.of points. Colour info. and intensity info. of each point is converted into numbers.
A thing of beauty and math is a joy forever.

THE EARTH, A SUPER ORGANISM

JOIN MY COURSE: "Become a programmer in a day with python" A man called 'love lock' (what a name) proposed a theory called Gaia theory, named after Greek Goddess. It says, "Earth is a self-regulating organism like a human being. The organic life in it interacts with in-organic matter and maintains atmosphere, temperature and environment". Hence the earth is still suitable for the life to thrive. Imagine, in a particular place, there are lot of flowers. Some flowers are white and some are darkly coloured. We know, white reflects light and heat while dark absorbs the same. White flowers can thrive in hot climate. But dark flowers requires cold climate. The absorption and reflection balances and the environment reaches average, warm temperature at which both the flowers can co-exist. This is the essence of "Gaia" theory. On our earth, ...

DISORDER IS THE "ORDER OF THE DAY"

Imagine a balloon full of air. The air molecules are moving randomly inside the balloon. Let us pierce the balloon with a pin. The air rushes out. Why should not the air molecules stay inside the balloon safely and ignore the little hole? That is not the way the world works. The molecules always "want to occupy as many states as possible". Hence the air goes out in the open to occupy more volume. The things always goes into disorder (entropy) and the disorder increases with time. The above statement is what we call "second law of thermodynamics". Consider a cup of coffee on the table. Suppose the heat from entire room flows to your cup of coffee, the coffee will boil and the rest of the room will freeze. Freezing means bringing things to order and arrangement. It violates the second law. Hence it will never happen. Hence heat must flow from high ...

CASINO'S GAME

Let us find out how the casino survives with mathematics. Say, your friend invite you for a game of dice. You must bet (wager) 2 dollars. If you roll 'six' you will get back 8 dollars. The game will go on for 30 rounds. All sounds good. The probability of rolling 'six' is 1/6. Since the game will be played for 30 times, the 'expected win' is 30*1/6 = 5. That is, you are expected to win 5 rounds out of 30. Hence your gain will be 5 * 8 =40 dollars. ok. This also implies that you will loose 25 rounds. Hence your loss will be 25*2 =50 dollars. Your net gain will be gain-less = 40-50 = -10 dollars. For 30 rounds, the loss is -10 dollars, Hence, for one round =-10/30 = -1/3 dollars. There will be a loss of -1/3 or 0.33 dollars per round. It is not a fair game. Let us make a simple formula to calculate 'Pa...
