“Of all the essential, harmonic, wave-frequency associable phenomena none is more compatible with all other phenomena than are the proton-neutron teams of physical energy. At the next higher level of complexity no phenomena is more universally associable than is the hydrogen atom. No physical complex is more prolifically reproduced in Universe than is the hydrogen atom. But the proton-neutron teams and the hydrogen atoms are individually invisible to the naked eye and are aesthetically appreciated only by the scientists who deal with the invisible ranges of the great electromagnetic spectrum ‘reality.’ As the essential complexes first become visibly discernible as snowflakes, minuscule flower blossoms, crystals, or any other of the myriads of minutiae, they are spontaneously acclaimed by man as aesthetically pleasing. This aesthetic pleasure includes not only all other visible phenomena ranging from small to large, from starfish to celestial star, but also ranging in biochemical, structural, mechanical, and electromagnetic complexity from the simplest algae and radiolaria to the elephant, the giant redwood, and the human being. The spontaneous aesthetic satisfaction does not stop here but goes on to include the products of these living complexes, which in turn includes humanity’s invented tools.”
