How Gravity Is a Double Copy of Other Forces

As far as physicists have been able to determine, nature speaks two mutually unintelligible languages: one for gravity and one for everything else. Curves in the fabric of space-time tell planets and people which way to fall, while all the other forces spring from quantum particles.Albert Einstein first spoke of gravity in terms of bends in space-time in his general theory of relativity. Most theorists assume that gravity actually pushes us around through particles, called gravitons, but atte...

Anthony Russo Explains How Six Tones are Better than One in ‘Cherry’

Check the Gate is a column where we go one-on-one with directors in an effort to uncover the reasoning behind their creative decisions. Why that subject? Why that shot? In this edition, we chat with director Anthony Russo (one-half of the Russo brothers) and discuss how they balanced tone in Cherry. Books are not movies. Movies are not books. They’re two totally separate narrative delivery systems with their own special set of skills. Stealing a story from one medium and jamming it int...

Chlorine

As deadly as it is beautiful, chlorine's characteristic yellow hue turns to a viscous, deep yellow-orange liquid when pressurized to over 1000(!) Psi - as in this little ampoule. If you were to heat this cube in boiling water (don't though!) it would cross the supercritical liquid-vapor point and the liquid would appear to vanish. After cooling down it would suddenly condense back out into a half and half state.

Alchemy and Colour | The Fitzwilliam Museum

Alchemy and Colour Alchemy, a discipline that prepared the ground for early modern chemistry and experimental science, focused on the transmutation of ‘base’ metals (lead, tin) into ‘noble ones’ (silver, gold). Since metals were commonly associated with celestial bodies, some artists’ recipes used the names of planets and metals interchangeably: for instance, the Sun for gold, the Moon for silver and Venus for copper. The transformation of artists’ materials was often understood in alchemica...

Explaining the psychology of colour in movies

"Why is Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf in black-and-white? The words, the dialogue would have played differently in colour." — Ernest LehmanWhen we see a film, we don’t engage only with its overall form; we experience the film. A painter knows how to manipulate colour, shape, and composition. A novelist lives intimately with language. Likewise, filmmakers work with a distinct medium — and we, being the audience, take notice of it right from the very beginning. However, one of the things affec...
