“But Fermat is best remembered not for what he did, but for what he left undone. One day in 1637, while perusing his copy of an ancient Greek text by the 3rd century mathematician Diophantus, Fermat jotted a note in the margins that would drive mathematicians crazy for the next four centuries.”

About:

90 Years is a webzine devoted to glimmering art, design, ideas and people.

Look, the way things are going, we might live for 90 years. Or more.

It's a lot of time to fill, and the opiates we used to rely on are wavering.

Time to try something new. We at 90 Years are packing ourselves full of all that glimmers, to heighten our experience instead of dulling ourselves to it.

Follow along as we explore the reaches of existence, deep caves of sunkissed seas.

Submit what means something to you, ask about anything, and share, to spread the glimmering.

"Art, like the universe itself ... has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." C.S. Lewis
