Chemistry Ray Chang - Do You Know About Him?

Chemistry Ray Chang - Do You Know About Him?Chemistry Ray Raymond Chang and Buckminster Fuller, co-founders of the Futurists of Science (FOS) movement, argued that science could 'transcend the boundaries of locality, time, and space.' In contrast to more mainstream scientific thinkers of the time, who focused on a limited and particular problem, the Futurists saw science as the tool through which the entire universe could be accessed and understood.It was within this context that I first came across Chemistry Ray Chang. As a recent graduate student, I had just started a research lab at a top-ranked university. At first, I found the work they're interesting, but eventually, when I was working on my dissertation, I realized I had no idea what was happening in the rest of the world of science. But, I had some friends that I considered 'Futurists' and they recommended that I read a book called 'The Illustrated Physics of Things.'This book was about artists from the Dallas Fine Arts Depar tment of the University of Texas. I thought this was very intriguing, because many of these artists were writing about how science was going to bring about a new era of understanding and truthfulness, and they mentioned a book by a person named Chemistry Ray Chang, and this was his name.I finished reading the book and came across Chemistry Ray Chang's essay, 'Earthtime,' in which he discussed how science was going to be a tool to communicate truths about the nature of the universe, and what is true and what is not. The essays that followed were equally as interesting, and I remember picking up the book one day, and thinking to myself, 'Wow, I'm really interested in science, and in time and space!'As a graduate student, my mentors took me to visit The Old Man and the Sea, a museum in London where these kinds of essays were featured. And I was amazed at the relevance of some of the historical statements made by the Futurists, especially by Raymond Chang and Buckminster Fuller. There w ere so many similarities between their writings and mine, and I realized that I wanted to be a part of this movement of thinkers that were asking questions about science and trying to understand the nature of the cosmos and the nature of reality.I knew that in order to do this, I would have to pursue science as a career, so I took my first chemistry class and got really into it. I was also attracted to the fact that Chemistry Ray Chang was giving workshops at science museums around the country, and teaching people about the importance of science.I eventually graduated from school and got a job as a chemical engineer, and then later I decided to go into environmental science, and work with chemicals, and this is where I am now. I've spent many years traveling the world to teach science, and I've seen a remarkable transformation in the attitudes of the general public. It's been a long journey, but I never took it lightly, and now, I look back at my first encounters with the Futurists of Science, and see what an impact it has had on me, and on my life.
