What’s The Time? II
It used to be Ra (Radium), yes I would think so, it is luminescent in the dark, glowing without sun-light or other source of energy with a half-time of 1200 years, thank you Marie Curie! Actually it is not Ra (Radium) or H-3 (Tritium) since they’re radioactive and unless you have a really old watch… Continue reading What’s The Time? II

History Lost / Playlist Inferno
It is infuriating, depressing and quite pointless. The concept or the factual album does not exist any more. This is not the first time it happens. I’ve listened to this particular “album” many, many times and in is entirety – that’s not true in an absolute sense, because I don’t like them all as much,… Continue reading History Lost / Playlist Inferno
Gaia Is The Machine
Usually, there’re just too many words, this time around… Just watch this: Earth + Satellites + Data + Visualisation. This is why we build and send them with rockets into outer space. Gaia is the Machine God is the Principle
