See a NASA Physicist's Incredible Origami

Twenty five years ago, physicist Robert Lang worked at NASA, where he researched lasers. He has also garnered 46 patents on optoelectronics and even wrote a Ph.D. thesis called "Semiconductor Lasers: New Geometries and Spectral Properties." But in 2001, Lang left his job in order to pursue a passion he's had since childhood: origami. In the origami world, Lang is now a legend, and it's not just his eye-catching, intricate designs that have taken the craft by storm. Some of his work has helped pioneer new ways of applying origami principles to complex real-world engineering problems.

[@OrigamiMaster06]

@@takenstios445 I don't disagree that art incorporates math at times. As you've mentioned perspective, shading, dimensioning, and other geometric things are mathematical in concept and are highly integrated into art. I don't think that the production of paper and/or paints qualifies because then you could call almost every profession as scientific as most use some tool or medium which is manufactured using engineering based on science. I would also say that math can be very artistic. As I mentioned fractals as well as the golden ratio, Fourier series, vector fields, and other pleasing math concepts can (in my opinion) be described as artistic. So I'm of the opinion that math is artistic and vise versa.

So he quit his job at nasa to make origami?! What? But awesome though

[@jasonblalock4429]

Look at it this way: There are over seven billion people on the planet, but only ONE who can say "I stopped sending rockets into space so I could fold paper instead."

If you thought you had to be asian to be named Lang.

[@davidb5205]

Last name is Lang. Does origami. Excels at math. HE'S SECRETLY ASIAN AND HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT!

[@wonyoungstansincepd4889]

David Boucard True because 40% of population is Genghis Khan's relatives and he is Asian.

[@mokaexpressions]

he's probably mixed

[@couch_philosoph3325]

In germany, Lang is a normal name (not extremely common, but kinda common )

[@CologneCarter]

Lang is a common German surname and actually means a tall person. The translation could be long, tall, far depending on context.

When I do origami I don't do math, j just eyeball it like the Asian man cooking in his kitchen.

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@MrRooibos123 Maybe the maths are not difficult FOR YOU. Maybe they are difficult for other people outside of your tiny bubble. We are all built differently. Think about that solar sail/ radio reflector that is shown unfolding in this video. That took a NASA -level Mathematician to design. That is this man, Mister Lang, with his interest in a form of art in order to accomplish. Whatever field you happen to be in, I hope you become more open-minded than you comment shows you to be, rather than being stuck as some snobbish elitist who looks down on others.
