Andromeda and Matrix

Been watching a couple of movies on DVD - the first was the final part of The Matrix , "Matrix Revolutions" and then a TV adaptation of the Michael Crichton novel "The Andromeda Strain", which was also adapted for film quite a few years back. I found the American TV version of it thrilling and exciting, and slightly prefer it to the film.

It has been a horrible wet Friday, and I hope it will not be as wet over the weekend.

As Time Goes By

The song “As Time Goes By" from the film “Casablanca” has quite a bit of Physics related lyrics. I did not know this until it was pointed out by Lisa Randall in her book “Warped Passages”,

[This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension.

Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory.
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.]

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.

The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
