What does it mean for art to be beautiful? What does it mean for science to be beautiful? What makes great art great? What is beauty? Can one achieve transcendence through the arts? If so, how? What makes the arts so special? What is the role of the arts in shaping and warping the audience's perception of space and time? Join us with musician, physicist, and mathematician Jack Gallahan for a discussion of composers from J.S. Bach to Elliot Carter, writers such as Samuel Beckett and Marcel Proust, and a conversation about the meaning of the arts in the 21st century.
