No this is a bad opinion, like you said there's a lot of cross-disciplinary ignorance between the visual arts and "science." Speaking from a perspective that is sadly exceptional -- I am a lifelong artist working and an aspiring Doctor of Pathology currently studying and working at Johns Hopkins -- I can assure you that you're speaking from ignorance here.

If I could get one I would buy it now

Yes but not in comparison to the initial post I was responding to of: Artists are bad at science and Scientists are bad at art." If you notice, I'm referring to the majority of things commonly accepted as "art" or "science" in pop culture. My point is that the stereotypical scientist is actually much more creative than the stereotypical artist. Only it's youtube comments so I didn't have the space to get that across without generalizing.

Cracked!

your statement uses too many sweeping generalizations.

CRACKED!

Actually, Physics is a much more inherently creative discipline than traditional art for most practitioners. This is because creativity and questing the norm are the basis of experiment, while much of the work done in traditional "art", illustration, music ect., is based in the idea of technical skill. People who do photo realistic drawings with no sense of creativity are much less artistically gifted than a physicist who figures out an application for ferrofluids.

No, they are fluids. Hence the morphing and shifting in the video, and the term ferroFLUIDS. The liquid iron in the ferrofluid reacts to the magnetic field with solid like characteristics, which is how it holds its shape...

Don't play dumb. He's afraid of new technology.
