The scientific study of art offers challenges to applied science, and I would encourage my colleagues in physics labs over the world to turn to art for practical inspiration
Nobody could have predicted that the Michelson interferometer — made at the end of the 19th century for fundamental physics research, showing that the speed of light is invariant of reference frames — could have made an impact in the conservation of cultural heritage and arts and humanities research more than 100 years later
