Paul Simon: American Tune (live 1975)

Dear Friday 13th,

hope you had fun.

You need to exaggerate life’s strangeness only a small amount to remember how strange it actually is. John Hodgman, A conversation with a famous writer and minor television personality
[The universe] cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Galileo Galilei: The Assayer

Evan Grant: Making sound visible through cymatics - a TED talk on Chladni plates and general cymatics (just because you asked)

Carl Sagan: Pale Blue Dot - about the famous picture taken by Voyager 1 from a distance of 6 billion kilometres

Jackson Pollock, August 11, 1956 from Dean Rogers: Death Drive 
“Rogers took the images on the anniversary of the deaths, at the exact time of day they occurred, and in the precise position the car was before impact. Whereas some of the final photographs are rendered atmospheric by darkness, many reveal the rather banal landscape witnessed by the subjects in the final seconds before their deaths. The series includes the deathplaces of artists and writers including Jackson Pollock, Albert Camus and Helmut Newton, and musicians such as Marc Bolan and Eddie Cochrane.”  (via Creative Review)

Carl Sagan ft Stephen Hawking: A Glorious Dawn (Auto-Tune Remix)

Mathematics, the proud tree with its wide crown freely unfolding in the air, actually draws with a thousand roots its force from the soil of intuition and imagination. It would therefore be fatal, if one cut it with the shears of petty utilitarianism, or if one wanted to dig it up from the soil whence it springs. Hermann Weyl
