Zachary R.J. Strong | Towards a Science of Beauty - It's More Objective Than We Think! @zacharyrjstrong | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, we thought that we had beauty all figured out. But then, in 1917, Marcel Duchamp placed a urinal in an art gallery, and the Western world let him get away with it. Thankfully, we can now start to use science to narrow down what beauty is... and isn't.

Perhaps the only person to ever graduate from McMaster University with a combined undergraduate in engineering physics, commerce, and mathematics, Zachary R.J. Strong's quest for knowledge has taken him from the sciences to the humanities, and from the texts of major world religions to the folkloric traditions humming underneath and within the world's modern empires.
Naturally drawn to unsolved mysteries, unresolved controversies, and complicated quandaries, Zachary's papers and books reflect his kaleidoscopic journey through the accumulated knowledge of humanity. By juxtaposing and harmonizing different perspectives within his writing, Zachary takes readers on daring intellectual journeys that will leave them exhausted, but elevated and more sophisticated.
