Futurism brashly and boldly embraced new technology, celebrating even the bellicose. In Marinetti's "Manifesto of Futurism," he states, "We will glorify war -- the world's only hygiene -- militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for women," (p. 148). This peculiar statement reveals the nature of futurism as it was manifest at early twentieth century. Futurism was all embracing, rejecting nothing based on immorality because futurism shunned morality. For this reason, Futurism emerged as a staunchly progressive and open-minded genre in the visual arts. The movement not just embraced new technology but celebrated it. Even the uglier side of technology, such as heavy industries and the pollution they create, was something futurists admired and incorporated into their visual art schema. Within the futurist framework, it is certainly possible to imagine works of art that represent something genuinely new.

Futurists would understand and appreciate the use of new media such as digital tools. With more advanced digital tools including artificial intelligence, the potential for art to uncover new ground is astonishing. Furthermore, the world's social and political landscapes are changing rapidly. As cultures change, so too do their artistic expressions. This would mean that expressions might be "new" to one viewer but not to another.
Another reason why the futurist mindset allows for works of art that are fully new and different is expressed by Boccioni in the technical manifesto. "The gesture which we would produce on canvas shall no longer be a fixed moment in universal dynamism. It shall simply be the dynamic sensation itself (p. 150). The laws of physics such as thermodynamics were fascinating…

Astrophysical Implications of Black Holes Astrophysics There is a tradition in science for phenomena that are once thought of as impossible or absurd, later become fundamental to the progression of science. The subject of black holes falls within this tradition. Stephen Hawking, a leader in physics, once claimed that the existence of black holes was impossible; later on, he became on the leaders at the forefront of research and topics related to

Philosophy The cosmological disagreement can take many forms, but it works with the basis since the cosmos (universe) exists, there must be a God. How can the information that the universe exist point to any other conclusion than that the universe exists? The first argues that God must exist because He is "The Temporal First Cause" of the universe. The second argues that God must exist because He is "The Ontological
Gamburza: A Distant Planet with Enigmatic Potential Gamburza, a remote and enigmatic planet located in the distant exoplanetary system Gliese 581, holds a tantalizing allure for scientists and astronomers alike (Mayor et al., 2009). Discovered in 2009, Gamburza has sparked considerable interest due to its unique characteristics and potential implications for our understanding of exoplanets. Physical Properties Gamburza is a super-Earth, a type of exoplanet with a mass significantly larger than Earth's but

Catherine Keller's On the mystery: Discerning divinity in progress envisions the creation as a living, dynamic thing rather than something that is static and unchanging. The central metaphor which governs Chapter 3 of her book is that of the fish: a fish is constantly moving with the ebbs and flows of the waters around him and instead of drowning or being swallowed up by the waters of change like a
