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.

Hesingberg Question : why relativity and turbulence.
God's Answer : we have no need for laws here.
God said "turbulence" because men need to know that they are not God…that's why.
TMI. Boring!

~ 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 ~
Hmm in that sense every painting is deeply embedded with Math
He saw things other people did not … and could not fit in …
Just a walk in the park for vincenzo
is this a JoJo reference ?
He did not try to cut off his own ear , he got into a fight with a person and his ear was cut during fight.
Or they were on drugs and that’s just how they saw it when they were high lol
3:04 wtf Ted-Ed
Those two colours of blue and gold always depicted the heavens
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
Asking myself how the animation is so good
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.
you need to eat some magic mushroom to really understand these paintings
The vibrating animation is very uncomfortable to watch. I didn't finish the video for that reason.
Казалось бы, при чём тут Украина 2:28
the animation was fun
Van gogh: draws the perfect turbulence patterns during his moment of genius
Animator: does it for a TED-ED video
The whole stuff could be because of psychedelic drugs he took, take magic mushrooms and watch the stars…f*ck math around his paintings.
The art reminds me of the art on those Charlie and The Chocolate Factory books.
