I think there is a much more direct connection between beauty and science just beyond the subjective appreciation that the article talks about. As Soviet aeronautics engineer Andrei Tupolev remarked, 'a plane that is not beautiful does not fly'. implying that there is a direct connection between what is scientifically functional and what we perceive to be aesthetically interesting or pleasing. I think this makes a lot of sense. Pure random noise is not beautiful, strict order is also not beautiful. Good science often looks for ideas that are simple, yet also complex and somewhere at that intersection. You find this in a lot of mathematics as well. Many famous proofs have that same aesthetic quality to them.
