Our Yearning for Immortality: Alan Lightman on one of the most Profound Contradictions of Human Existence. “Science does not reveal the meaning of our existence, but it does draw back some of the veils.”
“Be not deceived,” Epictetus writes in The Discourses, “every animal is attached to nothing so much as to its own interest.” Few things are more in our nature than our yearning for permanence. And yet all evidence argues against us. This profound human contradiction is what physicist Alan Lightman — the first person to receive dual appointments in sciences and humanities at MIT — explores in one of the essays in The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew. The Accidental Universe. Doing Dada Differently: The Women Behind the Movement. Marcel Duchamp’s ‘readymade’ sculpture of a urinal, entitled Fountain, has been voted the single most influential artwork of the 20th century.
In recent years, however, doubts have arisen as to whether or not Duchamp did indeed buy a urinal and call it art – many art historians now believe that this epoch-making piece was, in fact, the work of fellow Dadaist and lifetime eccentric Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. Name sound familiar? For many of us, probably not. Elsa has, despite the absurd genius of her work and life, never gained the fame and notoriety enjoyed by the male Dadaists. Iconic Mistresses in Art History. Behind many of the world's greatest works of art, lies a great muse; they stare back at you, their faces often more recognisable than those of the artists themselves.

Ula Einstein I believe I came across on Pinterest – the photo below, which looked to me like burned toilet paper tubes caught my eye somewhere along the way.
Upon investigation, Ula’s delicate textiles and works on paper are completely captivating. Many she calls, “drawings with fire.” Some of them are pre-cut and others appear to be simply burned, or burned and then gone back into with thread. The patience (and routine) it must take to burn the papers with that regularity, without things getting out of control, is wild. The below is hand cut rice paper. A close up of the above is below.

PARIS – For the longest time, science has assumed that in order to run, swim, or fly, animals and humans must exert pressure on the ground, water or air around them to project themselves forward. But a study of jellyfish and eels published Tuesday says the premise is false — at least when it comes to certain swimming animals. Rather than propelling themselves by pushing water rearward, jellyfish and lampreys — a species of snake-like, jawless fish also known as lamprey eels — “pull” themselves forward by creating a region of low pressure in the water directly ahead of them.
“The low pressure is created on the ‘top’ of the jellyfish’s umbrella-shaped body, which is different from our previous understanding of their swimming dynamics that focused on the flow underneath the umbrella,” study co-author John Dabiri of the University of Stanford said. The finding, published in the journal Nature Communications, holds promise for designing much more energy-efficient submarines.
