Ideas and Opinions






"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed."

Boyfriend Chameleon




Saw this band during my stint on the east coast. Went to the show expecting one thing (to see some hip-hop, actually), got something totally different. Wye Oak just blew my fucking brains out. First, yeah- I thought she was really pretty. But Jesus. A deece sound from just two people. Subtle, yet fucking powerful. Nuanced. A hauntingly beautiful voice. I thought it was perfect. Still listen to this band a lot.


I wish you didn't need it anymore
I understand exactly what you use it for
And better isn't always doing well
I know because I'm better now myself

And it's true, I need it too
But not the way that you do

Stellar Collapse



The event horizon, the boundary of the region of space-time from which it is not possible to escape, acts rather like a one-way membrane around the black hole: objects, such as unwary astronauts, can fall through the event horizon into the black hole, but nothing can ever get out of the black hole through the event horizon. (Remember that the event horizon is the path in space-time of light that is trying to escape from the black hole, and nothing can travel faster than light.) One could well say of the event horizon what the poet Dante said of the entrance to Hell: "All hope abandon, ye who enter here." Anything or anyone who falls through the even horizon will soon reach the region of infinite density and the end of time.
