Real gold leaves (12 karat) are the core material of this series Chaosmos.
“It turns out that when we look far into outer space, essentially back through time some 210 million light years ago, we can see that all the gold in the known universe was created and spewed out in cosmically violent neutron star collisions and that includes also the atoms of gold that can be found in the human brain. For inside every neuron, there are just a few atoms of gold that keep the neuron charged, which is what keeps us thinking, moving, and existing.” Michelle Taller, astrophysicist
This series explores the correaltion between the micro and the macro cosmos, and its tight interconnections, challenging the limits of our imagination imprisoned in our perception of space and time.
