POPS"Artwork inspired by the mysteries and marvels of science." wonderful images "I am often very inspired by science - books on popular science and maths, documentaries, and of course rubbish sci fi films.

POPSPhysicists investigate how time moves forward This provides an orientation, or arrow of time, and it is generally believed that all other time asymmetries, such as our sense that future and past are different, are a direct consequence of this thermodynamic arrow.” In their study, Feng and Crooks have developed a method to accurately measure “time asymmetry” (which refers to our intuitive concept of time, that the past differs from the future, in contrast with time symmetry, where there is no distinction between past and future). They began by investigating the increase in energy dissipation, or entropy, in various arrangements. While time blatantly moves forward in the macroscopic world, the direction of time becomes confusing on the scale of a single molecule

POPSOn looks and attraction... This new research identifies an explanation for the correlation between bodily shape and attractiveness: your body proportions, shape and stature are signals that conspicuously advertise your good development or health and therefore the degree to which you are a desirable reproductive partner. In many species fewer departures from perfect symmetry are associated with good development, health and reproductive success.” We begin to see that there is a program embedded deep in our perception. this is the time to reveal it. :)

POPSThe Pressure of Time A verb is a movement that must have an object, an urge for an attaching of its desire, for what would the sea be if there were no shore to crash upon and sound its melancholy slow withdrawing ebb, and where would mari-time be if all were only sea? And where would you be if all there was is me? Verbs are the electricity of stories, being comes into being on energy's random licking of obscure and fleeting objects.

POPSAmbigrams-You don't know which way to look Sometimes words can make you dizzy. While I was making this clip, with reference to Bach, I wondered if anyone has, or will, compose music, or maybe even a song, that sounds the same when played in reverse. Now we have the technology.
