"Incredible sculptures."boingboing.net "Only the best thing ever."Maria Popova, Brainpickings "A gleaming depiction of the subatomic by the world's leading information designer."Nature "The whole exhibition is a study of abstraction: complex calculations turned simplified visualizations turned art without notation. Feynman's diagrams also touch on major tenets of Tufte's work--truth, beauty, universality, forever knowledge--as in his most recent book Beautiful Evidence. Like Tufte's best work, they are inarguable and lasting." Rani Molla, visually
