Thinking The Sounds

Your beautiful eyes :: Photography Served.

I am so glad that I live in an age when everyday technology has given us the ability to see the majesty of the world in so many phenomenal ways!

Dr. Dre goes all space-rock….

An instrumental album is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I have the ideas for it. I want to call it The Planets. I don’t even know if I should be saying this…. [Laughs.] It’s just my interpretation of what each planet sounds like. I’m gonna go off on that. Just all instrumental. I’ve been studying the planets and learning the personalities of each planet. I’ve been doing this for about two years now just in my spare time so to speak. I wanna do it in surround sound. It’ll have to be in surround sound for Saturn to work.

What would happen if the world stopped turning? – Boing Boing.

The gravity of the still earth is the strongest at the polar regions (shown in green). It is intermediate in the middle latitudes and weakest at the high altitudes of the Andes, close to the equator.		When global rotation stops, the massive oceanic water migration would cease and sea level would be at different locations, completely changing world geography.

This is some really fascinating theorizing.

It’s important to note that the creator of this article isn’t saying that this will or can happen.  (What mechanism could possibly stop the earth from spinning, yet keep all other processes intact?)  The point of the article is really a test of the computer software and the types of calculations it can perform.

However, the entire “what if” idea comes up with some really fascinating outcomes and may shine a light on how some other geologic processes operate in conjunction with gravity and centrifugal force.
