Art, language and science

Language & web services

Traditional academic programs separate the humanities from science. This separation dates back to the 17th century, when science became independent from art and philosophy. Until then, there was no difference between astronomy and astrology, or chemistry and magic. As modern science emerged with Galileo and Newton, the difference became clear. However, we still use language to express complex scientific concepts, and, though based on empirical observations, artistic renditions of the planets and the stars are still important when we need to translate mathematical values, as mass, distance, and chemical composition. Scientists say it takes a lot of imagination to understand complex ideas as space-time and gravity, and imagination uses art to describe those concepts. Language is the link that connects art and science, culture and technology; a well-written maths book is the best way to introduce you to algebra and calculus. Nowhere is this more true when we speak of the English language. Like art, language is communication, and as computers evolve, a new family of languages, machine languages, are becoming more complex, the verbal interface between humans and A.I. This has been the guiding principle that has inspired the work behind this website.
