I created this graphic while under the inspiration of a macho painting by the artist Boris Vallejo.
"Beyond the Walls of Terra" by Boris Vallejo
Paintings like this one are probably best suited for pulp science fiction novel covers, but I liked Vallejo's idea of time and space being split apart by some intervening agent.
Wavelets' special quality is that they also split apart time and space (or another perspective is that they glue space and time together), so my idea was to remove Vallejo's "Mr. Universe" and drop in a few wavelets instead.
So I created some wavelets in WaveLab,
And, with some help from Photoshop, I created three-dimensional-looking versions of these same wavelets.
(They look like they were squeezed out of a tube of toothpaste, no?)
Then I rotated and skewed each wavelet and placed each wavelet in the picture to try to give the viewer an impression that the wavelets are "dancing" in the Universe's split seam.

Science should be poetry, and poetry science.
My twist on his statement is:
Science should be art, and art science.
I made this little graphic with that idea in mind.
