...entire 70-ft.-deep basin as a kind of primordial imprint of the towers. Part burnt offering, part wailing wall, the basin testifies to calamity, but it stands--muscular proof that New York lives and life prevails. Libeskind's plan would surround that pit with a force field of angular towers at street level. The workaday world could carry on its business without trampling the memory of the dead...
Fortunately, Timbaland rises to the challenge with some of his most potent work to date. Looking to old-school predecessors for inspiration, he ditches his trademark angular stutter-step to anchor the beats in thunderous boom-bap, charging them with a newfound immediacy.

Transient out-of-body experiences can occur in anyone, but a glance around is usually all it takes to ground the brain in reality again. The right angular gyrus, however, sits quite near the vestibular cortex, the seat of balance. Jolting the Swiss patient's gyrus apparently threw the delicate feedback system out of synch--creating a state of neural chaos that was exacerbated when she moved her eyes and body. Whether shamans achieve the same state through meditation is impossible...
