"I mostly read popular science, but never just one book at a time. I need five or six at a time, and I flit from one page to the next," declared Dalí with his well-known sense of provocation. Dalí's century was one of great scientific revolutions: those of the theory of relativity, non-Euclidean geometry, quantum physics, not to mention psychoanalysis. They reduced to obsolescence the age-old concepts of linear space that had prevailed from Euclid to Descartes, like that of a prior intuition of space and time in Kant. The more the sciences progressed in the 20th century, the more complex and abstract they became; ruining the "reality principle," they became objective allies of the man who had created the delusional method of interpreting the surrounding world: Salvador Dalí.
