Physicist Werner Heisenberg said, “When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: why relativity? And why turbulence? I really believe he will have an answer for the first.” As difficult as turbulence is to understand mathematically, we can use art to depict the way it looks. Natalya St. Clair illustrates how Van Gogh captured this deep mystery of movement, fluid and light in his work.

  1. ~ Thank you UpWorthiest for bringing me here for fascinating artist/icon/scientist? Van Gogh information ~ ALSO pulled out my 1972 45 of "VINCENT" by another icon, Don McLean ~ Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

  2. I like controlling turbulence by angling a lighter near objects or on a not very windy day predicting the flames direction . Wow the things I do without money and boredom/idleness

  3. I can't even imagine how tortured his thoughts must have been. My heart goes out to anyone suffering from such brilliant genius. He was truly touched by God.

  4. The whole stuff could be because of psychedelic drugs he took, take magic mushrooms and watch the stars…f*ck math around his paintings.
