CREATIVE PHYSICS

The objective to establish a Creative Physics was the subject matter of the Australian Broadcasting Commission documentary of the life’s work of the artist Robert Pope (titled Pope the Catalyst) screened in 1979 within the Commission’s Science Unit’s 8 part television series titled The Scientists-Profiles of Discovery. Creative Physics referred to the upgrading of the Platonic Greek philosophy in order to develop ethical science. This goal was recorded in 1993 by the Journal of the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology, LEONARDO.

Robert Pope was the Australian Science-Art Delegate to the 2nd Marcel Grossman Meeting at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste in 1979. At this meeting Robert Pope consulted with China’s highest awarded phyicist, Kun Huang, and as a result of his discussions with Kun Huang, Pope developed his Creative Physics research methodology. Subsequently, Pope founded the Science-Art Research Centre in 1979. In 1995, the Commonwealth Government of Australia granted the Centre research institute status and it became The Science-Art Research Centre of Australia Incorporated.

During the 1980’s several of the Science-Art Centre’s conchology papers, written by the mathematician, Chris Illert, were published by the scientific Journal, Il Nuovo Cimento. In 1990 two of these papers were selected from the 20th Century world literature for reprinting by the SPIE Milestone Series in Washington, USA. The work won the International First Prize for Biology, awarded by the Institute for Basic Research in Molise, Italy, 1995.

On the 5th of September, 2006, the American Council for the United Nations University Millennium Project, Australasian Node, awarded Professor Robert Pope a Decree of Recognition for his lifelong contribution toward the betterment of the global human condition, including his development of Creative Physics.
