Salute to Science

We here at Words Plus Paper have always felt that science and art are more alike than they are different. Indeed, some of our favorite historical figures are scientists such as Darwin, Faraday, Einstein, Newton, Aristotle, Turing... we could go on and on.

We have a great respect for these pioneers who proposed new ideas about reality. It's not difficult to understand Bohr's theory of atomic structure, but we never would have thought of it ourselves. On the other hand, we read Brian Greene's "The Fabric of the Cosmos" and we're not sure that we want to delve any deeper into string theory because that stuff is just really weird.

Still, this week we have decided to salute these heroic figures with a series of science-themed t-shirts, great for geeks, nerds and the educated layman. In particular, we're paying homage to the fields of astronomy, archaeology, biochemistry and physics.

We hope you enjoy these designs. Click on the picture for a larger version. Click on the name to link directly to our Zazzle-powered sister shop, Rising Tide Tees.
