Hi guys, sorry I missed last weeks post. I do that sometimes. :)

I guess since I'm studying Theoretical Physics in college I should probably have a pretty strong view on the whole Hawking-Einstein debate. To me personally Einstein will always be the greatest physicist of all time. They both made huge impacts on the world of physics, which is obvious enough otherwise there wouldn't be an argument. Hawking published pioneering papers on Black Holes but he is given extra credit I think because of the fact he works with his illness. But, a young German man working in a patent office in 1905 published in the space of 5 months, four of the most revolutionary papers in the history of physics. To me, Einstein has to win. John Lennon would have been forever remembered for his work with the Beatles but then he added a huge solo career on top, for me that's a bit like Einstein, those four papers would have been enough to be the greatest ever but then he went a published over 300 more scientific papers on top of that.

My school was a boarding school in the middle of nowhere so it had loads of old rumours, mostly ghost stories, but there was one about a secret passageway that went underneath the lake and came out the far side. Probably completely false but when we were 12 my friends and I loved to chat about it.

My favourite animated movie is a close call between Wall-E and the  Lion King. And I don't know much about upcoming animated films.

To be honest, I don't think the album is dead, I really hope not anyway. I think the idea of singles will only ever appeal to pop culture which is usually just interested in the most generic catchy song as opposed to most other genres which are focused on the whole album as a work of art. One of my all time favourite albums even though I'm not into rap is "A grand don't come for free" the songs are good but put together they are far more than the sum of their parts. The whole album is a story and it works beautifully.

Anyway, theres not much new in my life. Summer is boring.
