Art of dice, a black hole and chance
Chance in the universe. Computer illustration representing the chance, randomness and probability inherent in the universe according to the theory of quantum mechanics. Dice are seen spiralling towards a black hole, their numbers producing a random sequence. They are seen on a historical star chart and a starfield. The randomness and probability in quantum physics (subatomic physics) was described by Werner Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle, and by Erwin Schrodinger. Einstein did not believe in a random universe and said " God does not play dice with the universe"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Art of Dice, a Black Hole and Chance" beautifully captures the essence of randomness and probability in the universe as described by quantum mechanics. The computer illustration showcases dice spiraling towards a black hole, generating a random sequence of numbers. Set against a historical star chart and a mesmerizing starfield backdrop, this artwork symbolizes the inherent uncertainty present at the subatomic level. The concept of chance in quantum physics was famously explored by Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Erwin Schrodinger's contributions. However, it is worth noting that Albert Einstein held contrasting beliefs, famously stating, "God does not play dice with the universe". This quote adds an intriguing layer to this thought-provoking image. Through its intricate design and use of vibrant colors, this artwork invites viewers to contemplate the interplay between chance, artistry, and scientific principles. It serves as a visual representation of how our understanding of physics continues to evolve while leaving room for philosophical debates about determinism versus randomness. Created by Science Photo Library without any commercial intentions or affiliations mentioned here (not associated with any company), this print offers both aesthetic appeal and intellectual stimulation for those fascinated by the mysteries of our vast universe.
