Garden of Cosmic Speculation
The Garden of Cosmic Reflections is located on the southwestern side of Scotland and is the most original place on earth. The creation of this garden originated from the idea of architect Charles Jenkson and his wife, landscape designer Maggie Keswick. They wanted to create a one-of-a-kind place where everything would remind of the universe, the process of its formation and development. The idea of the park is a miniature universe. This idea came to life in 1989.
The landscape of the garden consists of 5 zones, which are surrounded by ponds, hills and valleys of various shapes. Sculptural compositions symbolizing scientific discoveries are located throughout the territory. The whole garden of cosmic reflections is a unique art object with unique components. There are no flowers growing in it, no birds singing, and only exotic flora is found. Discoveries of mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, and astronomy are displayed on the landscaped grounds of the garden of cosmic reasoning. Here you can consider mathematical formulas, geometric problems, scientific hypotheses, everything that science has achieved.
The arrangement of the steps in various ways symbolizes the evolutionary development of the universe. The largest staircase represents all the stages of the rebirth and evolution of the universe. Going up the stairs, you can see the illustrations that depict life forms. Numerous spirals represent the DNA chain and various atmospheric phenomena. The interesting shape of the aluminum flower beds displays black holes.
The design of the garden of cosmic reflections is created in the style of Chinese philosophy, which features smooth and wavy lines. The garden promotes all the contradictions and paradoxes of the universe, which allows us to think about something more sublime and global than our daily hustle and bustle of life. The main slogan of the garden of cosmic reflections is reflections themselves. One cannot help but think about the meaning of life, both physical and spiritual, cosmic. This park is full of paradoxes, in order to understand something, you need to reflect. In order to climb a hill, you need to go down and vice versa. Tired of thinking, you can take a break in the gazebo of Meaninglessness. But they don't stay here for long, as the garden of cosmic reflections is their personal property, and tourists can enter the park on 1 day a year. Therefore, we must hurry to examine everything and unravel at least some of the mysteries of nature.
