[snip] ...the patterns of light and dark in Van Gogh’s paintings follow Kolmogorov scaling, the model of turbulent flow described in 1941 by the Russian scientist Andrei Kolmogorov... “Starry Night and other impassioned Van Gogh pictures were painted during periods of prolonged psychotic agitation and captured the essence of turbulence,” [the author] said. Van Gogh apparently lost the ability to depict turbulence while he received treatment for psychosis. While in hospital, after mutilating his ear, he was prescribed potassium bromide. During this period, which Van Gogh said was “absolute calm”, his works contained no evidence of Kolmogorov scaling.

The solar wind, came blowin’ in - from across the void
It eddied there, around Altair- powering up my droid
All summer long, we sang a song - and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the solar wind
Like numberless bytes, those days and nights - they went flyin’ by
The world was new, beneath a red umbrella sky
Then softer than, an alien man - one day it called to you
And I lost you, i lost you to the solar wind
The autumn wind, and the winter winds - they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days - they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the solar wind
the solar wind
warm solar wind
mmm the solar wind
