“Stuck in a sleeping bag one winters night in a dream, I experienced my birth. My whole body moved abruptly, possessing a pulse-emerging imperative – I have to be born. Yes? So, how? A voice replied, “To be born you must accept that you will die. Along with the life I give you, I also give you death.” Then, I will not be born,” I said with fear, feeling my jugular vein and my heart would explode at any moment. Suddenly the following image came to me: a bridge across a field, the bridge spanned the two extremes: life and death. I had to cross the bridge. The voice said, This is life and death, but there is a bridge, the bridge is love and that’s what you come to cross: the way of love. Then I could be born.”

theres a whole world waiting to be introduced from the world of electronic music production as soon as the technology gets easier to implement in instruments…and not just a mpc and sample triggering. true live electronic music will reach a depth unattainable from now

it will change music forever, i promise you

“We have wondered why the super-massive black hole in the center of our galaxy, known as Sagittarius A* [containing about 4 million times the mass of our Sun] appears to be a slumbering giant,” says team leader Tatsuya Inui of Kyoto University in Japan. “But now we realize that the black hole was far more active in the past, it was a million times brighter three centuries ago. It must have unleashed an incredibly powerful flare. Perhaps it’s just resting after a major outburst.”

” Sie kommt aus dem Bereich niedriger Alltagszahlen, steigt vor unseren Augen auf, nimmt für einen Moment den Wert ‘unendlich’ an und sinkt wieder ab, dorthin, woher sie gekommen ist. Aber sie war dort. Unter unserem Blick hat eine Linie die Grenzen der Welt überwunden und kehrt nun wieder, als wäre weiter nichts passiert.”

“Die grauenhafte Unendlichkeit, die uns vom Jenseits trennt, wurde nur vom Auferstandenen überwunden und von der geometrischen Kurve; seltsam und erschreckend der Gedanke, dass sie eins sein könnten.”

Fate of the Universe

•July 15, 2009 • Leave a Comment

In 1998 observations suggested that the expansion of the universe is speeding up.
In the past few years, these observations have been corroborated by several independent sources.

The future of an expanding universe is bleak. It means that density drops.
If acceleration continues, a scenario known as the Big Rip causes an exponentially increasing divergent expansion, which tears apart our Virgo supercluster, it then tears apart the milky way galaxy, our solar system, and finally even atoms. The supermassive black holes are all that remains of galaxies, but even these are not immortal. The lonely photon is now king of the universe as the last of the supermassive black holes evaporate. The universe now reaches an extremely low-energy state.

Finally, the universe may settle into this state forever, achieving true heat death.

Cordyceps unilateralis

•July 15, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Cordyceps unilateralis is a species of fungus that infects and alters the behavior of ants in order to ensure the widespread distribution of its spores. The spores enter the body of the insect through its spiracles, where they begin to consume the non-vital soft tissues. When the fungus is ready to spore, its mycelia enter the ant’s brain and change how it perceives pheromones, causing the insect to climb to the top of a plant and use its mandibles to secure itself to the stem. The fungus then kills the ant, and the fruiting bodies of C. unilateralis grow from its head and explode, releasing the spores. This process takes 4 to 10 days.
