Don’t be concerned
It’s just the way that gravity works
round here
Franz Ferdinand
Always Ascending
Step out the front door like a ghost
Into the fog where no one notices
The contrast of white on white.
If you go straight long enough
you’ll end up where you were.

3rd Planet
And in between the moon and you
The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
Everybody’s moving,
watch out,
it’s showing

Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates
There’s a stillness in time,
Which I cannot define

Stillness In Time
Out there’s a land that time don’t command
Wanna be the first to arrive

She says, “It’s only in my head.”
She says, “Shh, I know it’s only in my head.”
The planets and stars
And Venus and Mars
No, they don’t measure up to you
No, no
And nothing can compare
To you, this I swear

I can’t see nothing, nothing
Around here
That’s great it starts with an earthquake
R.E.M.
It’s the end of the world as we know it
You catch me if I’m falling
You catch me if I’m falling
Will you catch me because I’m falling down on here
If this world is turning too fast for your head
Just remember how bad times can roll instead
Guess I’ll have to search the space in my mind
For that stillness in time.
Jamiroquai
Stillness In Time
I said ” I’m under the gun”
Round here.
Oh man I said “I’m under the gun”
Round here.
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

No one ‘round here‘s good at
keeping their eyes closed

And I can’t see nothin’, nothin’.
Round here.
Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments and they wander off through equation after equation and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality. 1
Nikola Tesla
New York Times article July 11th 1935
I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young man’s pleasure
Breaking down the
dreams we make real
Yes
Leave It
If God is, man is a slave;
now, man can and must be free;
then, God does not exist. 2
Mikhail Bakunin
God and the State
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
Tears for Fears
Everybody Wants To Rule The World
And baby I’ll rule, I’ll rule, I’ll rule, I’ll rule
Let me live that fantasy

New York Times, July 11th, 1935
“The theory of relativity he described as “a mass of error and deceptive ideas violently opposed to the teachings of great men of science of the past and even to common sense.”
“The theory, “he said, “wraps all these errors and fallacies and clothes them in magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king. Its exponents are very brilliant men, but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists. Not a single one of the relativity propositions has been proved.”
