‘Art and science share the same spirit.’ This is my philosophy as someone who loves science, art, and reflection.

Easter Walk by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
interpretive translation from German ,

From the ice they’re breaking free,
Streams and brooks in liberty,
Hope is blooming in the dale,
Spring’s old victory does prevail.
Wretched winter, weak and frail,
Hides away in rugged shale,
Fleeing from the sun’s bright gleam,
Sending hail in a bitter stream.

But the earth is green once more,
Flowers spread from shore to shore,
Valleys glow in vivid hue,
Life awakens, fresh and new.
Through the alleys, tight and small,
Crowds pour out, both great and tall,
Joyful, eager, all unite,
Basking in the warm sunlight.

From the city’s gate they stream,
To the fields in noisy gleam,
Boats and rafts on rivers glide,
Laughter echoes far and wide.
On the paths, the throng’s alive,
Colors dance, and spirits thrive,
Dressed in Sunday’s bright array,
All embrace the newborn day.

Look, the hills are clad in cheer,
Gardens bloom, the air is clear,
Every step’s a merry sound,
Pleasure circles all around.
Sun shines down with golden grace,
Blessing earth’s awakened face,
People sing, their voices blend,
Winter’s reign has found its end.

Success is work. Art is life.

True greatness lies in life - not in titles or projects.

Find what nourishes you and live by it.

@philosophy4242 Love this cosmic perspective! The vastness of space humbles us all - stars like grains of sand in an endless void. Beautifully said!

"Checkmate" does not have to be an end, but can also be a new beginning.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Teach your children how to think, not what to think.

What else should it be? Hey, you’re aiming for a doctorate, so act accordingly. You’re expected to work independently, ideally on something you’re passionate about. And if you need a supervisor to constantly guide you or hold your hand, you should reconsider whether a PhD is the right path for you.

@pixelcoder_ger A magical moment in the morning. A perfect start to the day! The picture would also make a wonderful template for a watercolour painting. What do you think? Where was this taken?

Feynman: brilliant physicist, Nobel Prize, bongo enthusiast - but a rebel who picked locks and loathed bureaucracy. Today's academic world, obsessed with conformity and the h-index, would stifle him. He would probably give up after his PhD, maybe taking a shadow role under a tame professor or a teaching job where he could amaze students. The system craves box office hits, not the chaotic brilliance that breakthroughs require. What do you think?

A reminder that science and art aren’t so far apart. What’s your music?

[Physics In History @PhysInHistory]

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music... I get most joy in life out of music.

Steve Jobs philosophized in his biography about death: "Maybe it's like an on-off switch. Click, and you're gone." Interestingly, he often avoided such switches on his devices, prioritizing continuity over a simple "off." What do you think?

Released in 1971, John Lennon's song "Imagine" offers a hauntingly simple vision of peace—no borders, no greed, no dogma—just humanity at its best. Lennon's radical idealism challenges us to rethink "normal," confronting the mess within ourselves and society. In 2025, do we choose courage or comfort?

"Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one."
John Lennon’s 'Imagine' (1971) dreamed of peace. His idealism still echoes—a timeless call for a better world. Are we brave enough to join him?
