@@coffeebreakhero3743 The type of science that follows a cookbook exists because someone was creative/curious enough to cook the food with fire instead of just eating it raw thousands of years ago, most likely while being mocked by others. If they weren't mocking them, they were "worried" for them because they're trying something new. The constant mockery and worry has still not stopped and it's slowing everybody down because there's barely any room for creativity, people all over the world have been and still are saying this. There are no exceptions.

See, this is one of the reasons why the world needs artists. Artists tend to see the world in a different light depending on their point of view. If it weren't for artists and creative minds, businesses would go under because they have no flair, there wouldn't be training simulations for pilots, there would be no media of any kind, the world would be still, dull, colorless, silent, and incomplete. In summary, without creative minds in general, nothing would get done and the world would just be boring.

Very true. In the old days, when the world wasn't so busy, artists took to scientific pursuits themselves. Da Vinci invented the parachute, Samuel Morse who was a painter and inventor created the Morse code, Maria Sibylla Merian who worked as a illustrator discovered previously unknown facts about plants and insects. It's amazing that with ample time and resources what the brain can conjure, someday maybe to irrevocably change our understanding of the world.

Water has memory? Can it tell me where I left my car keys? 😀 [Edit: Smiley Face added to clarify this was meant to be a humorous remark - don’t take it seriously.] Seriously though. Huh? This association really denigrates the achievements of Shlian. Paper memory is simple to verify - we’ve all folded paper since early childhood. And, apart from the silly “Last Airbender” movie, no one has ever done anything with water. No I don’t count the unreproducible results & claims of the homeopathic community. Yes, I am old, and I am stubborn. These moving sculpture / origami creations (kinetic sculptures) are beautiful, inspiring and ultimately useful. They look like they should be part of an art gallery exhibit, with real commercial value. Matthew Shlian - amazing. I know nothing else of this fellow, or if he can create his artwork using liquid water … ! But he should be as rich and famous as any other creative genius.

Areel Khan the paper work is created in such way it has memory... it's a design with a major factor... because it can be implemented in other more functional and productive works. it might seem like simple origami and art but it's really a pettern and a design and thus it can be applyed in other works.
