DREAM BIG

(Let The Scientists Worry About Details Like O-Rings)

A basketball free throw is shot

15 feet from the basket

On average professional NBA players

Miss 25% of their attempts

Now imagine the basket

238,900 miles away

With only one shot

With no margin for error

Da Vinci sketched machines

With flapping wings

Jules Verne calculated the trip

Would require 97 hours (and 20 minutes!)

The moon landing was born

Not from scientists

But from the imagination

Of artists

Art, the subjective dream

Envisioning unknown unknowns

Science, the objective working life

Detailing known knowns

Robocars

Colonies on Mars

Virtual reality

Immortality

The science of art

The art of science

Do you believe in God?

I believe in the Fibonacci sequence
