New research reveals that Vincent van Gogh’s iconic ‘Starry Night’ reflects a deep understanding of atmospheric turbulence, as the brushstrokes and colors align with principles of fluid dynamics discovered decades after the artist’s death. The swirling sky in the painting bears striking resemblance to the movements of gases and fluids, suggesting Van Gogh might have been intuitively capturing these natural phenomena.

A physics thought experiment explores the possibility of a human running on water, specifically focusing on Sha’Carri Richardson, the fastest woman in the world. While impossible on Earth, scientists suggest that reduced gravity conditions, like those on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, could make it possible.
