Dear all,
Are there any physicists out there who understand quantum theory well enough to tell me what it makes of human consciousness, of the aesthetics of art or math (why do scientific theories or a good equation, like 1 + 1 = 2, have an inherent beauty, a rightness of form)? How are these features of our universe explained at the quantum level? I am a literature student trying to figure out how Beckett's reading of geometry and physics influenced his idea of what constituted art. I look forward to hearing from you, either here or direct to my e-mail address.
