Aesthetics of science is the study ofbeauty and matters of taste within thescientific endeavour. Aesthetic features like simplicity,elegance andsymmetry are sources of wonder and awe for many scientists, thus motivating scientific pursuit.[3] Conversely, theories that have been empirically successful may be judged to lack aesthetic merit, which contributes to the desire to find a new theory that subsumes the old.[4]
The topic has been addressed by several publications discussing how aesthetic values are related to scientific experiments and theories.[5][6]
