He spent much of his childhood living in greenhouses, which would go on to inspire his love for nature. During college Tyler spent his free time crawling through caves, which inspired a body of art that involved synthesizing crystals onto preserved insects and organic matter such as skulls. This quickly became his full-time job and ultimately unraveled a deeper fascination for nature and experimentation, which has carried over into the idea for this very book!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTERRY MUDGE\u003c\/b\u003e opened the Stemcell Science Shop in 2016 with the goal of elevating the lackluster standard in scientific goods.

Color, the range of energy that fills the visible universe, has been a constant highlight throughout this journey.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the intricate patterns and brilliant hues of minerals formed deep beneath the Earth's surface; to distant galaxies creating grand displays of exploding, dying, and newly-forming stars, this vibrant range has not only illuminated my path but revealed hidden connections between everything across the universe, both known and unknown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, you will find not just a collection of colors, but a spectral celebration of the profound, the enigmatic, and the outright mind-blowing.

From the mesmerizing blue of a quasar to the haunting glow of foxfire, the colors in these pages are the keys to understanding some of the most captivating phenomena in the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a labor of love, born from countless hours of research, discussions with experts in the most esoteric fields, and my firsthand observations. It's my hope that these colors will inspire you, challenge you, and reveal the interconnections to be found between everything in the entire universe. Now, it's your turn to explore.

What is a “color”? How are colors even able to exist in the first place? I began a pursuit to not only understand colors, but to synthesize them in my studio\/ lab through the wonders of nanoparticle science.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAfter dedicating several years of my creative career to synthesizing crystals and minerals, I decided to tackle one of the most alluring mineraloids of them all, the opal, that master conductor of the orchestra of light play. The journey to synthesizing opals is a tricky one. It’s an endeavor that requires immense patience, structural stability, and fine tuning to the degree of just a few hundred nanometers. My countless experiments involved late nights waving my iphone flashlight across dozens of oil filled jars hoping white blobs would reveal flashes of color.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt would take a solid year of tinkering and hundreds of failed experiments before I would create some of the world’s first lab-grown opalized insects and flowers. Along the way, I deepened my love of color and furthered my understanding of it. My obsession with projects that depend on color and light led to this book, where I can share what I’ve learned in hopes that you too can see what all the fuss is about.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e—Tyler Thrasher","brand":"Sasquatch Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303478251749,"sku":"NP9781632174925","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781632174925.jpg?v=1767742005","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-universe-in-100-colors-isbn-9781632174925","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
