Art of Impulse
The world is full of natural visual patterns, from spots on a leopard to spirals of a fiddlehead fern. Some patterns are as small as the molecular arrangement of crystals and as big as the massive spiral pattern of the Milky Way Galaxy. In the early 20th century, astronomers — beginning with Edwin Hubble and his discovery of the enormous distance to Andromeda, the closest galaxy to our own Milky Way — started to realize that the universe is almost unimaginably vast. They also learned that we could see galaxies scattered about, both near and far. And so, naturally, a question arose: Is there any pattern to the arrangement of those galaxies, or is it random?
In this part of the article, Cosmic Charde is going to discuss how human brains indulge to recognize patterns and art and explain those beautifully.
