Finished it. It was a very good read, would heavily recommend it to anyone who likes astronomy but is unsure where to begin. Might post some quotes here later, because some parts of this book are incredibly poetic for a technical text.

These quantum fluctuations are the seeds of the galaxies and therefore the seeds of our existence frozen into the oldest light in the cosmos and photographed by a satellite built by the people of Earth 13.8 billion years later.

Practicing meditation for long periods makes it possible, at least temporarily, to know what it means to have no relationship to the passing of time and the movement of mind and memory. And not only that, it provides us with access to our own primordial depths, which inevitably gives rise to a profound and abiding sense of happiness. And that is because, slowly but surely, we awaken to that dimension of ourselves that has never been born and has never entered into the stream of time. Repeatedly experiencing such an enormous shift of perspective makes clear the liberating truth that the source of real contentment has nothing to do with satisfying any particular desire. And it reveals to us, over and over again, that who we are always has been perfectly free from who we have been as a personality…

Mayer Hawthorne Brings New Tunes to Sold-Out Music Hall of Williamsburg

Mayer Hawthorne – Music Hall of Williamsburg – January 31, 2024

DJ-turned-crooner Mayer Hawthorne drips rizz. For more than a decade, he’s charmed with his throwback falsetto, and expanding his swagger, he teamed up with fellow producer Jake One in 2015 to form Tuxedo, a soulful pop duo that asks, “Do you Fux with the Tux?” He returned to his solo outfit last fall with his fifth studio album, For All Time, a soundtrack that welcomes you through a beaded curtain into a smoky jazz club. With interludes of “Hawthorne Rides Again” throughout, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist took his latest release for a spin at Music Hall Of Williamsburg on Wednesday night.  A trio of ladies, sporting matching black-and-white herringbone-print pants, cascaded onto the stage followed by the man himself. They kicked off the set with the new LP’s “The Pool.” Hawthorne donned a smoking jacket to fully embody the night’s relaxed and playful vibes, as they performed music from across his catalog. The crowd was fully in the palm of Hawthorne’s hand happily obeying when asked to sing, “Na na na nana” on “Back Seat Lover.” Beatboxing to introduce the funky “Out of Pocket,” Hawthorne spotlighted the bassist as she throbbed the beat for this toe-tapping ditty. 

The disco ball rotated for “On the Floor” as the man of the hour indicated that his shiny shoes were meant for dancing. While the ladies continued on with “Deuce and a Quarter,” he departed for a brief wardrobe change, returning in a snazzy, brick-colored suit with flared slacks. The back half of the set featured classics from his debut studio album, A Strange Arrangement, including “Green Eyed Love,” a dancehall version of “Maybe So, Maybe No” and a brief outro of “Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out,” before Hawthorne capped off a spin through New York City with a two-song encore of “Eyes of Love” and “Henny & Gingerale.” —Sharlene Chiu | @Shar0ck

'Netflix has commissioned Einstein And The Bomb, a feature documentary exploring Albert Einstein’s relationship with Hitler, Germany and the atom bomb.

The film will be directed by UK director Anthony Philipson in his feature debut; he has previously directed for series including Our Girl and All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur. BBC Studios is producing Einstein and The Bomb, with executive producers James Van Der Pool and Andrew Cohen.

Combining archive and dramatisations, the film will explore key points in the German-born physicist’s life, and how his work changed the course of history.

It comes shortly after Einstein appeared in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer played by Tom Conti, with the film depicting the creation of the atom bomb as part of the life of Einstein’s collaborator J. Robert Oppenheimer.

In 1939, Einstein signed a letter written by fellow physicist Leo Szilard and sent to US president Franklin D. Roosevelt, warning that Germany might develop atomic bombs and suggesting the US should start its own nuclear programme. It was reported years later that he regretted signing the letter...'
