@tilscience: AD: This is the darkest painting in science. So many layers to this painting. This 1768 painting shows the moment the Scientific Revolution forced humanity to choose: progress or compassion? Inside the glass chamber, a bird is dying. Around it, 10 faces show 10 different reactions. A terrified girl. A fascinated scientist. A man timing the death with his pocket watch. The inventor of this air pump, Robert Boyle, was so conflicted he wrote about his “anguish” over using it. His device proved that oxygen matters, but the cost haunted him. The painting’s message? Science without ethics isn’t progress, it’s just cruelty with a hypothesis. This painting is absolutely worth seeing in person at @National Gallery exhibition ‘Wright of Derby: From the Shadows’ #Science #arthistory #DidYouKnow

Science is an art. It takes imagination to come up with the questions and then come up with the experiments and to interpret the results. Just because the results can have empirical results doesn’t mean imagination wasn’t used to get there.

Yeah.. it’s disgusting what humans do in the name of science.. I understand the need to learn and invent but at what cost? The fact that we still test anything on animals is horrific. The fact that we still eat animals is horrific. Humans are unfortunately such a virus to this planet..

Hang on. Air is only 21% Oxygen, mostly Nitrogen with smidges of Argon, CO2 and other trace gases

Nice to know that air identifies itself as oxygen, but that's only 20% of it, roughly. But point well taken!👍

I went on to take almost half science courses in uni bc of this, extended my studies to add it alongside my art history/film production double major. One of my favourite classes was the science of colour, using math to analyze art and light. Fantastic course. Another elective was music and math, chemistry and bio. I love the mix.

Now art is being replaced by AI. We are now discussing how computers are advancing too fast. Are we going to lose our humanity.
