“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” - Arthur C. Clark
Firstly, I reject the author’s premise. It’s not like scientists today are robots who only study in their field and have no interest in arts at all. With the quantity of scientists in existence you’re going to get a vast array of varying interests outside their fields. I fact I would say many people are inspired to become scientists by arts such as science fiction.
Secondly, as knowledge progresses it’s necessary that we specialize more, or at least some of us do. It takes an entire lifetime to get to the root of today’s scientific mysteries, which was not the case 200 years ago. All the low hanging fruit has been picked.
Science is very much an art in and of itself; breaking ground and figuring out how to set up a new process/experiment doesn’t come from thin air.
