The magic of the Circle...
12:12 a.m.
Why is it that we like circled paintings so much? Is is because we live in a sphere (the Earth), which moves in an almost circular way around the Sun (another sphere) or because everything is made of atoms (spheric) that move in circles around a nucleus (another sphere)? Or because they are similar to the circles that appear in calm waters when we throw something? Or because in Nature there are thousands of circular shapes and then this geometric figure looks familiar?
