This year marks the anniversary of two monumental human triumphs: the discovery of linear perspective and the Theory of Relativity. Six hundred years ago (ca 1415) Filippo Brunelleschi used geometry, mirrors and a great deal of ingenuity to create a process that would add a realistic three-dimensional depth to painting. His method centered on the observation that parallel lines appear to converge to a single point at the horizon. By applying this principle, he was able to create an easy to imple...
