Nobel Prize for Literature 2005

Is it any surprise there is a gulf between science and arts?

This is what the art world seemingly considers important: Harold Pinter "in his plays uncovers the precipice under everyday prattle and forces entry into oppression’s closed rooms"

Whereas science renders discoveries in chemistry that offer “Fantastic opportunities have been created for producing many new molecules – pharmaceuticals, for example. Imagination will soon be the only limit to what molecules can be built!”
