Innovative Representations Of Light, Behaving As Both Particles And Waves, Among The Paintings Of Monet And Renoir, Charles Smith
Charles Kay Smith
Monet and Renoir, friends collaborating in open air about 1865, discovered that sunlight filtering through a canopy of tree leaves does not produce the splotches and dapples that studio artists conventionally represented at the time but circles of light. Sometimes the circles of light punctuating the shade are clear, separate and crisp, as though light is being propagated as particles, but if the pin-hole gaps between leaves are very close together, they will project compound or superimposed circles that look like the waves that Thomas Young saw in his double slit experiment in 1803-4. Newton’s Opticks published in 1704 had …

American Inequality, A Prose/Poem 3/2/2014, Charles Smith
American Inequality, A Prose/Poem 3/2/2014, Charles Smith
Charles Kay Smith
Science has made possible an increased productivity that creates an economic surplus--science continually teaches us how to do more with less resources.

If the added productivity of science were shared among all citizens instead of only the 1%, poverty and homelessness could be ended.
