Fire and Ice

In a world where the borders between disciplines are rapidly blurring, a collaboration between the arts and the sciences doesn’t sound like too much of a stretch as let’s say… bioengineering a unicorn. Seriously though, in the not too distant past the ‘odd’ pairing would be compared to the mingling of fire and ice. But, what not too many people then would have probably realized, is that the combination of the two would yield steam. And steam is not only able to open up the pores on your face turn colossal turbines to generate electricity, but it also implies an element of attraction, an all-consuming passion even. But, I digress (especially about the all-consuming passion part).

When I heard that these two became a couple, I had to say that I couldn’t be any happier for the both of them. I won’t make predictions as to what will happen in the years to come because the universe has a penchant for writing tragic endings to even the most promising of love stories. What I do hope for is that they both find happiness in the time that they have together.

As in chemistry and in literature, opposites do attract.
