ART is a creation of something beneficial in the form of writing, painting, sculpture or other forms of tangible structures in the form of machines or any tool used to facilitate and improve human life and wellbeing and often the tools of imaginations, curiosity, daydreaming and intuition are used to create some valuable products. All those experts who create any form of art or technology are called artists or skilful people in their fun. Artists have been a major part of humanity since the beginning of human civilizations. Artists have natural abilities to design our brains to think in their way or they try to make the hologram of their brain in the universe to get better human and humanity with civilization. They give us the better perspective of world. Without art and creativity our societies would be boring and blind.
The art is the only spiritual energy or vital energy in any society that kept soul, heart and brain to grow and change. Practicing art and creating some thing for living especially for life distinguishes human from all other species. Art in any culture in form of music, painting, writing and sculptures represent the specific type of culture. The future of humanity will be dark if we would ignore the value of art. Without art there would be no entertainment or fun or pleasure. Human brain exposure to art and entertainment like sports and music would trigger more pleasure and creative neurotransmitters like endorphin, dopamine and serotonin. A balance secretion of these hormones in our brain would produce great brains of scientists, artists, poets, singers and elite class sportsman and great thinkers of nations and humanity.
The superpowers of brains like Newton, Einstein, Darwin, and Leonardo da Vinci. Poetic imaginations of Iqbal , Faiz and other great minds whose theories have been developed into great technologies of Aeroplane , Radio ,TV, Computers, Robots, Rockets , Cars, Trains and may other cellular and tissues imaging machines like FMRI, City scans , microscopes and powerful telescopes looking across universal galaxies are the results of the brains of those scientists . Who were brought up and educated in art loving and democratic cultures. These two features of any cultures are considered as best mediums for brain growths of future superpowers of brains.
World famous art like (1) — moona laza of Leonardo da Vinci. (2)- Taj Mahal (3) – Guernica of pueblo pkasso. (4)- the Beatles band have changed the cultures, attitudes and thinking standards of global population from traditional to advanced technological societies. Technologies are tools that have been created by humans since the dawn of primitive and advanced civilizations. Techniques of shaping the tools have also been improved and refined with advancement of knowledge of science and art and by inventions of new methods of creating and inventing technologies.
Technologies or the tools shaped by humans by the application of scientific methods and theories have always helped in the development of civilizations. In today’s world, technology is a complex social enterprise which is in the form of research, design and crafts. These technologies are globally running societies in the form of finances manufacturing, management, labour, marketing and maintenance. In broader terms, technology has extended our ability to change the world to cut, shape or put materials together to move things from one place to reach further destinations in space and Earth. We use technology to change the world into a better place.
Scientific knowledge applied to engineering has evolved into a craft. Technologies drive innovative research, opening new avenues of study. Electronic computers, for instance, revolutionized weather systems, demographics and gene storage studies, enabling unprecedented advancements in these fields.
Technologies have always been useful and are being used for the purpose of measurement, data collection, treatment of super computations, transportation to reach Antarctica, moon and ocean floor. As technologies become sophisticated, scientific query and cultures become stronger. Like in solid state physics, transistors and super conductors new technologies are being developed on the basis of previous generations of transistors and super conductors.
Positive use of technologies is very important. In universe, every thing has positive and negative implications on human life and societies. So it is good to have plenty of knowledge about the use and abuse of technologies. From computer, fridge to nuclear technology, every technology has to be used positively and for humanitarian purposes. Technologies that have military applications are restricted by most of the federal governments’ laws for creation under federal grants. Technologies like solar energy, renewable energy from sun heat and radiations are now being installs where electric grids are not portable.
With Historical Perspectives Art is vital for the study of science because creativity comes with super imagination. The development of super imagination is the skill that is acquired by in-depth study of multiple subject areas and by integrating them to give solution of a universal issues or problem under study. The greatest discoveries of the world are due to the involvement of some form of art. For example, Einstein used art and music to understand the quantum nature of matter. Similarly, all inventions of Leonardi da Vinci are due to his strong and super imagination developed by working with drawing and art of diverse nature. Students, who have used art and music for doing their research and studies, have come up with better scientific concepts and ideas. Teaching by using visual arts is more effective than without the use of visualization techniques. Similarly, in research settings, collaborative work in scientific and artistic projects brings promising results in research and development. Science fiction of diverse genre developed through imagination and artistic way has valuable contribution in the development of technologies and scientific thinking. As future is the fusion of science and art to produce more generalists or polymaths because polymathic tendencies have broader perspective of seeing problems from different perspectives. This is the only gradual but constant way of solving various future problems of the world.
Investing in science and technology boosts the Global Innovation Index and GDP. Developed nations consistently invest in technology, unlike many democratic cultures. With sufficient funding for research and development, Pakistan can outpace other innovative Asian states like India and Singapore. Prioritizing key sectors such as computer technology, electronics, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology can elevate GDP and enhance the quality of high-tech goods and healthcare products in global markets.
Neuroscience industry in private and government sectors under the program of “Neurocosmic Brain Project” in Pakistan initiated by the founder of the theory, (Prof. Anees Akhtar) would be highly cutting edge theory of creativity and innovations for future regional and superpower status in 21st century, especially on the frontier of neuroscience and space industry.
