hr-online.de (15.02.2011): "Wann hat alles angefangen. Dieses alte Problem hat bereits Aristoteles als unlösbar bezeichnet. Sein "unbewegter Erstbeweger" ist der Versuch eines Kompromisses.
Für Physiker stellt sich der Anfang von Zeit und Raum als der Beginn der Kausalität dar." Weiter
Dj Zhao: "this is a mash-up album fusing global traditional music and modern bass/beats. if you've ever wondered what Digital Gamelan is like, or what Capetown gospel singers do after moving to London Ghettos, or how Robots would play Ethiopian Jazz."

npr.org: "PJ Harvey's eighth album, out on Feb. 15, finds the singer turning her gaze outward, toward the political situation in her homeland of England. The topics are as bleak and violent as they were on her most lacerating work, but this time the subjects are soldiers falling in battle ("like lumps of meat") and landscapes that have been torn up, both physically and spiritually. Much of Let England Shake feels like an elegy for not just her homeland, but also the entire world; the bitterness behind the title of "This Glorious Land" is underlined by words like, "Our lands are plowed by tanks and feet, feet marching."

sendungen.sf.tv: "Die Hirnforschung zertrümmert den Mythos des Selbst, sagt der Philosoph Thomas Metzinger und demontiert damit unser Verständnis des menschlichen Bewusstseins. Die neuen Theorien verlangen ein radikales Umdenken und werfen neue Fragen auf: Wird der Mensch entzaubert? Verändern die Erkenntnisse der modernen Hirnforschung unser Bild vom Menschen? Könnten sich Begriffe wie Geist, Seele, Individualität und Willensfreiheit, die für unser Selbstverständnis prägend sind, auflösen? Und wenn ja, was wären die Konsequenzen?" Weiter

npr.org: "Originally, Earth pioneered the minimalist metallic drones that shook speakers to frayed wires with 1993's Earth 2, followed by more straightforward but still heavy fare. After a break, the band re-emerged in 2005 with Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method, a doomy, noirish Americana record that confounded as much as it retained the heaviness that defined Earth. But this time, the group redefined heaviness on its own terms. Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1 will stream here in its entirety until Feb. 7." Listen here
bbc.co.uk: "There is a strange and mysterious world that surrounds us, a world largely hidden from our senses. The quest to explain the true nature of reality is one of the great scientific detective stories.
Clues have been pieced together from deep within the atom, from the event horizon of black holes, and from the far reaches of the cosmos. It may be that that we are part of a cosmic hologram, projected from the edge of the universe. Or that we exist in an infinity of parallel worlds. Your reality may never look quite the same again."

textura.org: "a thirty-seven-minute monolithic drone that emerges from silence and ever-so-slowly builds into an awesome roar. Ten minutes in, the hum of electrical wires and organ tones dominates; five minutes later, the intensity noticeably escalates when a tsunami-like wave advances, and it's from this moment forward that one's advised to strap oneself in as Szczepanik cranks up the volume" Read on at http://www.textura.org/archives/s/szczepanik_deardad.htm
singularitysymposium.com: "We started our conversation on how Stephen got interested in exploring science in general and eventually focused on computation in particular. Then we moved on to a number of other interesting topics such as his work on Mathematica, his monumental book A New Kind of Science, his unique computational search engine Wolfram|Alpha, artificial intelligence and the technological singularity."
