We examine their implications and we suggest that they provide a surprising new basis for Quantum Physics as well as some enlightenment concerning the whereabouts of Dark energy. Keywords Einstein, Absolute Measurements, Electromagnetic Energy, m = E/c2, Space Points, Dark Energy, M. S. El Naschie, Quantum Meteorites 1. Introduction Einstein’s name is affixed to stunning discoveries made in the field of theoretical physics in the early years of the twentieth century. Less known is the fact that, even as he worked then as a Technical assistant Third Class in the Swiss Patent Office in Bern, Einstein also made a genuine great invention (i.e. discovered a hidden treasury, as in archeology) which has remained unnoticed hitherto. We retrieve this invention in the present note and we examine what it entails. Three mysterious sentences that Einstein wrote at that time will help us in this endeavor.

    CURREN$Y Verde Terrace 8.23.11 JetLife Recordings / Warner Bros. Records Hip-hop artists who need help figuring out their live show, talk to Spitta. Philadelphia Weekly New Orleans weed-rapper Curren$y has built a large following over the past few years for his mellowed-out rhymes and spacey instrumentals, releasing a string of solid albums and mixtapes at a nearly inhuman rate. Riverfront Times "You also can't argue against the fact that Curren$y's both prolific and consistent, a rare quality if there ever was one." PrefixMag.com "There is not a week that goes by, where his name isn’t either buzzing or trending online, something new drops on the radio, or there is new material available on iTunes." stupidDOPE.com Verde Terrace doesn't break any new territory for Curren$y, but "new territory" isn't really part of his M.O.-- he is digging a groove, one into which he settles more comfortably each year…Curren$y is refining the contours of his tiny universe so that it resembles no one else's. Pitchfork.com, Verde Terrace review (7.3 of 10) Curren$y understands the formula to creating a cult following: consistent, high quality music delivered frequently…Spitta offers an album full of his standard weed, women and clothes that made him the cult icon and fan favorite he is now.

Dressed in the black cloak and cap of a magician, the artist, with bulging eyes and open mouth, has witnessed this apparition while standing behind a table filled with books, some with alchemical notations, a variety of vessels, a snuffed-out candle, and a skull resting on hot coals. To emphasize the personal character of this dramatic image, Van Laer prominently signed this work on the musical score lying in the foreground, its lyrics warning that “the devil doesn’t jest.” Clearly, in his conjuring up a world of occult forces, the magician has unleashed realms far beyond his control, and he is about to suffer the consequences of his audacity.

  • Terror Since the Public School Error: Reconciling Hip Hop and Education 2
    Terror Since the Public School Error: Reconciling Hip Hop and Education Randy Ojeda & Eduardo Roman Loyola University Chicago School of Law Education Law and Policy, 2013 Terror Since the Public School Error: Reconciling Hip Hop and Education 2 Introduction Hip Hop and Education have been presented as oppositional spheres of influence in youth culture. Since its inception, Hip Hop has promoted values that conflict with the aim of the Public Education System. This division was created by the educational budget cuts which led to the rise of Hip Hop instrumentation and ethic. These budgetary cuts, along with the Hip Hop movement it birthed, enforced a culture of destabilization and anti-education in inner-city schools. However, these two spheres of influence can in fact overlap successfully to the benefit of educating urban youth. A possible solution to ending this ceiling of stagnation is using hip hop culture as a tool for education. While Hip Hop has created an urban youth culture of destabilization and anti-education, an embracing of hip hop by the educational system could lead to the development of social consciousness and critical skills both in and out of the classroom.

  • The Intertextuality and Translations of Fine Art and Class in Hip-Hop Culture
    arts Article The Intertextuality and Translations of Fine Art and Class in Hip-Hop Culture Adam de Paor-Evans Faculty of Culture and the Creative Industries, University of Central Lancashire, Lancashire PR1 2HE, UK; [email protected] Received: 24 October 2018; Accepted: 12 November 2018; Published: 16 November 2018 Abstract: Hip-hop culture is structured around key representational elements, each of which is underpinned by the holistic element of knowledge. Hip-hop emerged as a cultural counter position to the socio-politics of the urban condition in 1970s New York City, fuelled by destitution, contextual displacement, and the cultural values of non-white diaspora. Graffiti—as the primary form of hip-hop expression—began as a political act before morphing into an artform which visually supported the music and dance elements of hip-hop. The emerging synergies graffiti shared with the practices of DJing, rap, and B-boying (breakdancing) forged a new form of art which challenged the cultural capital of music and visual and sonic arts. This article explores moments of intertextuality between visual and sonic metaphors in hip-hop culture and the canon of fine art. The tropes of Michelangelo, Warhol, Monet, and O’Keefe are interrogated through the lyrics of Melle Mel, LL Cool J, Rakim, Felt, Action Bronson, Homeboy Sandman and Aesop Rock to reveal hip-hop’s multifarious intertextuality. In conclusion, the article contests the fallacy of hip-hop as mainstream and lowbrow culture and affirms that the use of fine art tropes in hip-hop narratives builds a critical relationship between the previously disparate cultural values of hip-hop and fine art, and challenges conventions of the class system.
