In seeking parallels with science, the author looks far back to the first geometric ideas of our ancestors as well as ahead to the contemporary science of present-day physicists. The parallelism and analogies between these two fields bear witness to a real entanglement in the human brain. The second part of the book contains about 25 colour images showing the author's stunning glass artwork representing ideas such as dark matter, quantum entanglement, cellular automata and many others that are almost impossible to capture in words. Furthermore, many of the physicists who have themselves made major contributions in these fields provide their comments and analysis of the works. The book provides entertaining and informative reading, not only for practicing artists and physicists, but also anyone curious about art and physics. 606 $aPhysics 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aMathematics 606 $aArt$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPopular Science in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q29000 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005 606 $aMathematics in Art and Architecture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M34000 606 $aCreativity and Arts Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O11000 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aArt$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aPopular Science in Physics. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aMathematics in Art and Architecture. 615 24$aCreativity and Arts Education. 676 $a530 700 $aPesce$b Laura$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0139946 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349501003321 996 $aClose Encounters of Art and Physics$92544753 997 $aUNINA
