...consider this an experiment... it’s trying to project the ideas involved both musically and scientifically,” Randall said. “Hypermusic Prologue,” which premiered last June, tells the story of a baritone with a strict Newtonian view of the physical universe and his soprano partner who is determined to explore new, unseen dimensions. As she proceeds to cross over into the fifth dimension, the opera seeks to convey this journey by exploring new musical and dramatic territories. Much of the discussion focused on how Parra and Randall translated these new scientific...
...It’s a pretty simple idea, basic Newtonian physics: force equals mass times acceleration,” he said...
Yes.The initial reporting claimed that 170,000 priceless artifacts were stolen in only 48 hours. Putting aside questions of Newtonian space and time and the impossibility of random looters getting 170,000 in 48 hours, that was truly exaggerated by at least a factor of 10. With some rare exceptions, the media has been very good about reporting the actual number stolen during the April time period, which is approximately 14,000 pieces. That's a tragedy in and of itself. One piece is one too many. (See pictures of disputed antiquities...
...that's it. Death is a moment - you know you're either dead or alive. All these things are not scientifically valid, but they're social perceptions. If you look back at the end of the 19th century, physicists at that time had been working with Newtonian laws of motion, and they really felt they had all the answers to everything that was out there in the universe. When we look at the world around us, Newtonian physics is perfectly sufficient. It explains most things that we deal with. But then it was discovered that actually when you look...
Americans are looking for a solution for the war on terror - does Musharraf fulfill that end? He only exacerbates the war on terror. There is the Newtonian law that every action causes an equal and opposite reaction, I don't know why the Americans seek to pursue this war on terror in the wrong fashion. This war on terror is all about misguided and ill-informed notions of justice. If you lock up the justices then people - particularly people who are armed and have little value of life - will take to alternate means of justice, particularly if they are possessed...
