The average length of time for developing a vaccine of this sort is 8 years, so amazing things are being done by our wonderful scientists. The anti-vacc brigade need to be exposed for the brainwashed zombies they are.
Blimey. 8 years. OK, I take back any implied criticism of our researchers and scientists. If my maths are correct, Coronavirus has the potential to kill 90 million people around the world (1% of the global population). I very much hope a vaccine is developed in time to save a huge number of those lives.
Exactly my friend, and that can only be determined in one place and one moment in time. Truths, and the reasons for them are ever changing and ever controlling.
So unique it's scary. His classical training was evident in much of what he constructed. I admire musicians that care that much, so yes, a genius.
Blackmore was very very good, but not, I would say a genius. He called Hendrix The Guvnor, he was a genius, he had that extra something. When I saw him in Glasgow the bill also had Nice, Pink Floyd, Amen Corner and Move, but the audience got impatient with them all and stood up in the middle of the second-last act and chanted We Want Hendrix, until the poor band had to go off for the Maestro.
Both served their apprenticeships in backing bands and were technically very accomplished. I loved the sounds that Hendrix could get from a guitar. Sadly I was a few years to young to see him live, he died when I was in the 5th Form at school. But I still look on Blackmore as a supreme musical technician. He can turn his hand to any musical style. I can't say I like everything he has produced, in fact quite a lot of it leaves me cold, but I am in awe of his sheer mastery of the instrument.
Title of The Greatest goes to Django Rheinhardt. His improvised solos were masterfully constructed compositions in themselves. When I first started listening to him I did not believe they could be improvised, so perfect is the structure. It was only after I built up a collection of his albums that I had to admit they were, so varied were they. His disciples still have Django festivals, and strap the two small fingers on their left hand together to try to copy his style.
I think we should make "genius" subjective, due to the "awe" factor. I had a gf that was not the brightest spark, but she was a genius in that she could make anyone in her company happy.
At last we agree on a genius...the "awe" is unavoidable. The missing fingers were his mother of invention. After a brain bleed I had double vision for 6 weeks, but ploughed on with piano even though it was initially almost impossible to play without looking. I'm a much better player for that.
Can we defy gravity? It all depends on how many manifestations of defy exist. Do we go to war with it? Investigate it? Try to fool it? I think our best bet is to find a compromise. This cannot be a physical compromise as gravity is but a lowly, unexplainable force, for even the smallest and weakest magnet can cancel out it's much overhyped power. So where do we start? It has to be from a spiritual perspective, for anything less gentle will create friction. Alas I have not risen to a spiritual height that would grant me this communication, but it is fact that anything you can imagine can come true, but just not yet.
My wife is a physics editor. Would you like her observations? re-genius- have a listen to Django's Mystery Pacific
She edits physics? I like a bit of Django, first heard his style of music through the charming Belleville Rendezvous.
The universe is driven by love: Example: Oxygen was pure, and although she knew Hydrogen was volatile, she admired his power and potential. She lured him to her bed, where they became one and made a child who they named "water" Water created life, plants, us! Yes, we are all part of one long unbelievable love story. Sorry, I think a lot, plus I have no shame
I've always thought of Oxygen as a bull in a china shop among elements. A reckless and prolific lover (if you will) who uses up other elements, often in an explosive or corrosive manner. Always combining to force change, and - when it comes to materials we use to build our structures, combining to wreck and ruin. Hydrogen, with its simple structure and single electron is much more that I would describe as the pure, though hugely violent in it's own potential. It takes two of them to combine with oxygen in a unique relationship to form water - a substance almost literally bursting with harnessed energy, which behaves in a manner unlike pretty much everything else in the universe - and thank God (if you'll pardon the old fashioned expression) that it does. A volatile ménage à trois rather than a traditional romantic love story. Water is the life-bringer. It is also the ultimate destroyer of everything we see around us. If we were ever to disappear (leave the planet or die out) it would be water that cleanses the world of our visible presence over millions of years, just as it wears down the mightiest ranges of extinct volcanoes or the tallest of mountain ranges. One drop at a time, one ice crystal at a time. Water giveth, and water taketh away, to once again use that old fashioned language.
In a universe of three dimensions people only perceive length, breadth and time ... they NEVER look up so have no concept of height... height may well exist in this 3D Universe but the inhabitants do not look for it as to them the three dimensions are all that exist. We live in a four dimension Universe... we do look up and perceive height but how many dimensions do WE ignore or have yet to discover? ..... I still think 'String Theory' is garbage however, when scientists in string theory can not explain something they INVENT rather than prove a new dimension.... RIP Stephen Hawkin but I believe you were wrong.
