AI Overview Yes, scientists determined that the swirling patterns in Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night accurately match the physical laws of atmospheric turbulence, specifically aligning with Kolmogorov's theory of turbulence and Batchelor's scaling.

Scientific FindingsKolmogorov's Law: Researchers analyzed high-resolution digital scans of the 1889 painting and found that 14 main swirling eddies in the sky follow the mathematical structure of fluid turbulence predicted by Soviet mathematician Andrey Kolmogorov in 1941.

Batchelor's Scaling: The smaller scale brushstrokes and pigment diffusion in the oil paint also match physical scaling laws for energy dynamics in turbulent flows.

The Paradox: Van Gogh captured these precise physical properties decades before the mathematical framework for turbulence was ever formally described, and he painted the scene from memory during the daytime inside a room at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum.
