I wish I would meet her! Nature's Daughter. Knew the language of Nature. So sad that she is no more but she's always alive inside the Herat of Creative minds 🙏
That's a pretty narrow view of the point of all this. I can guarantee you no one who competes here does maths so they can get some dumb job to make money. Some of them were pressured, but most of them do it because they have their sights set higher than money, to something just beautiful and profound and almost otherworldly. Don't reduce sheer genius to some dumb status. They shouldn't give a shit who makes fun of them either, or need some kind of "comeback", like money, to address it. Perelman lives with his mom and turned down a million bucks from the Millennium Prize. Anyone who makes fun of them doesn't truly understand what they're doing.
I think the tempo is perfect - lively, with great movement and arc. And we all know that Herr Mozart was a very lively man.... I can't stand these draggy requiems, they have no promise of afterlife because they're just dead!
Barbara, I also agree on the tempo - for this space: The room sounds dead...no reverb, no history, no soul. So, play it fast. Back at King's College Chapel, this would be slowed down (a bit) to let the space absorb the music.
When surfaces stretch they develop cracks. Because irregular or totally random is the way surfaces crack. This leads to pathways in contours which are random. When you put a beam of light in circular rotation the distance is the same because of radius but time overlapping is different because it has to complete one full rotation and that's the reason phase velocity is twice group velocity. Polarity is because of the time delay in one full rotation to next. That's why we have polarity in space. Spectrum is a particular radius.
Muss man italienische Eigennamen durch amerikanischen Akzent derart verhunzen? Kann man vor seiner Sendung nicht herausfinden, wie man die Namen ordentlich ausspricht??! 'Päweroddy', also wirklich....
A star was discovered by Australian astronomers called S5-HVS1 at the Sliding Spring Observatory at the Warrumbungle National Park in NSW. This star is twice the size of our sun and is moving at a speed of 1700 km/s. So how did such a big object end up moving so fast? The answer seems to be a black hole. The star was once one of a 2-star twin. They had an encounter with Sgr A* (the black hole at the centre of our galaxy). S5-HVS1’s twin went too close to Sgr A* and did not survive the black hole which swallowed it up. But in so doing, the black hole effectively unpaired the twin stars. Not many things can unpair twin stars. But a black hole can. And when it did it generated enormous energy making the surviving star S5-HVS1 accelerate to 1700 km/s, thus becoming the fastest star in the galaxy!
I've come back to this clip every new year for the past ten years, it was the most epic display of fireworks I ever saw and still mesmerizes me to this day with the timing and choice of music for the finale
