Judith Langlois, a psychologist, has found out, in a controlled
experiment, that there is a mathematical formula for beauty that is
seen to be beautiful by every observer asked, whatever their culture.

The universe contains a sublime mathematical order. And in the formula
for beauty contains crystallization and reification of universal truth.

What the Renaissance masters believed - "beauty is manifestation of the
divine" - and what Romantic poets intuited - "beauty is truth" - has
now been proven by science.

And now, the beliefs that motivated the greatest masterpieces ever
created have been scientifically validated and elevated to status of
verifiable fact, thus bringing validity to the striving of the poetic
spirit for beauty in all of its forms - and, through the medium of
beauty, speaking the truth of the universe.
