Ironically, one important brick in the foundation of Quantum Mechanics came from Albert Einstein when he published his theories of special relativity, in 1905, and general relativity two years later, in 1907. Einstein demonstrated that the classical ideas of absolute time distance were incorrect at velocities near the speed of light. Einstein showed that the speed of light is an invariant quantity and that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. A given event measured by observers on and off the fast- moving train is measured to occur at different times and positions. Thus, Einstein's relativity emphasized that an absolute time or distance scale did not exist.
Measurements are acutely dependent on the observer's point of view.
Modern Art was characterized by a departure from the established conventions of the past and more attention was paid to the feeling and form of an art piece rather than subject matter. The new subjectivity, demonstrated analytically in physics, was profoundly explained emotionally in modern art. The 1998 film, Pi , directed by Darren Aronofsky deals directly with the complexity and mystery associated with the human mind.
