If you are interested in discussions between mysticism and reason, wherein secrets about nature are revealed, or collaborations between science and art, or in flamenco, visit my page at:

The Paintings under "photos" are by Mexican artist Flash Romozi, the guitar is by Ian Beardsley (video) and the short stories as well, which can be read in pdf format by clicking on "open publication" in the "issuu" box on the page.

Bear in mind, as C.P. Snow pointed out, in his book, "The Two Cultures", the gap between the arts and sciences is a dangerous one. And in "Science and Human Values" by Jacob Bronowski, he points out the problem when scientists work with numbers alone, and receive no education in the Humanities, science becomes dangerous.

But alas, the crux of the issue is the war between religion and science with some people. A great treatise of that is in the science fiction book Nightfall, by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg. It was
made into a movie, twice, but I will say the more recent one, which is the only one I have seen, produced by Roger Corman is very different from the book. I will leave it at that.
