DescriptionThis color photograph is of the scientist Michael Martin Nieto with a written inscription and signature by Nieto underneath. Nieto is posing in front of a whiteboard and bookshelf looking at the camera.The inscription reads:
Many years ago I was watching a California sunset from the Santa Monica Mountains. I was with an undergraduate friend of mine who was an artist. She suddenly turned to me and asked, "Michael, isn't the beauty of this view ruined because you think of the sun in terms of nuclear explosions and physical laws?" "Oh no," I explained. "Instead it adds another dimension. I want them both."
