Carlos Jiménez@shawnmccool As Einstein famously said "The greatest scientists are artists as well." This cosmic spirograph makes you wonder whether those proposing it were just falling for its mandala-like beauty.
@cjimenez This reminds me of an Alan Kay quote,

It's like saying that I have really great ideas for paintings but I'm just going to use a brush but no paint. So my ideas will be represented by the gestures that I make over the paper."
