Brain scans show a complex string of numbers and letters in mathematical formulae can evoke the same sense of beauty as artistic masterpieces and music from the greatest composers.

Mathematicians were shown "ugly" and "beautiful" equations while in a brain scanner at University College London.

The same emotional brain centres used to appreciate art were being activated by "beautiful" maths.

The researchers suggest there may be a neurobiological basis to beauty.

The likes of Euler's identity or the Pythagorean identity are rarely mentioned in the same breath as the best of Mozart, Shakespeare and Van Gogh.

What a lot of shit!

It's just a matter of 'values.'

They see an "ugly" equation? It's just not on their "value" radar, it's that simple, retards!

Yawn!

PS. And how funny it is, that they never see beauty in formulas, which are outside the "conventionally accepted standards."  Fucking conformist wankers! Maybe they should try a Botox formula or something...
