CBPF created the Science-Graffiti to remind that physics is basic science and present in our everyday life. It relates to several other areas of knowledge - from mathematics, engineering, and chemistry to biology, geology, and sciences.
The art interconnects and symbolizes various aspects of the scientific activity in different areas. It emphasizes young people because this phase of life is full of curiosity and creativity, fundamental not only for scientists but also for anyone who wants to innovate.
It drawings also value our culture by representing, for example, the observation of the sky by indigenous peoples and highlighting Brazilian inventors and scientists, such as César Lattes (1924-2005), one of the CBPF´s founders.
In other areas, the art emphasizes that science is inexhaustible and, therefore, there will always be 'the search for something more.' We also enter into a dialogue with the mystery of human life and the ability to deal with abstract ideas.
