Midnight Lune

The rain rather dampened any enthusiasm to do anything much on Saturday. Most of the day was spent watching episodes of The Librarians on the Syfy channel and a couple of Celeb Masterminds and The Chase. This was interspersed with dipping into the book from New Scientist and the book on Albrecht Durer,a German painter, engraver, print-maker, mathematician and theorist of the Renaissance - a bit of a polymath you could say.



Now that we are at witching hour post-midnight,some lunar music for your delectation, and as i am seeing my bro for lunch on Sunday, and that he is a bit of a francophile ,  here is Claude Debussy's "Clair De Lune".

Au revoir for now.

Many Worlds v Copenhagen

I have a feeling that my bro will want to pick my brains on aspects of cosmology today. He has been trudging through the Stephen Hawkings book, A Brief History Of Time. In particular is the slippery subject of the Uncertainty Principle, and that includes the thought experiments of Erwin Schrodinger's Cat in a Box , and the opposing Copenhagen interpretation vs. The Many Worlds interpretation of quantum theory.

(Note - the Copenhagen interpretation is the one in which all particles are in a state of quantum flux, known as a superposition state,  until the observation of ithis flux forces it to collapse to one state.)


The other areas he will want too idscuss will be black holes, and the backbone to all quantum physics, Planck's Consatnt , which is defined as  about 6.62606×10−34 joule sec.

(Extra note - i wish there was devices to plug into our brains to make us instant experts lol)

Morning Jazz

For the morning music i have chosen a classic piece of music from Miles Davis and Gil Evans, with their interpretation of Rodrigo's Guitar Concerto "Concierto De Aranjuez (Adagio) ", from the Sketches Of Spain LP.

Enjoy.

Morning Classics , Lazarus

Now then folks, as you may be aware, i love the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, and it was wonderful to hear "Serenade To Music" on the blog site of cmcmck. Here is another absolutely gobsmacked beautiful piece of music , amd perhaps a sense f melancholia as well, his "Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus".

Hope you love it too.
