Physicist Portrait Torches

Patron Saints of Time Travel Candles Lights the Home Scientifically

— January 11, 2012 — Pop Culture
Normally theoretical physicists get their homages through papers quoting them, books and the occasional artwork, so the Patron Saints of Time Travel Candles is quite a change for these brilliant minds.

The Patron Saints of Time Travel Candles is a collaboration between artist Mickey Duzyj and writer Jon Korn. The idea is to honor those who have had a huge influence on theories on the ideas of traveling through time. Each candle has a graphic novel-esque illustration of iconic scientists with information on the back that talks about their contribution to the aforementioned subject. The big names that have made it so far are Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Ronald Mallett.

This will be an ongoing series with plans to release more in the future.
