These detectors (LIGO, GE600, TAMA300, AIGO) are listening for the gravitation waves: black holes spinning and colliding, or neutron stars inspiralling to their final fates in a black hole. Listen to the sounds that LIGO should hear when detecting neutron stars (hint: listen for the sound at t […]

completely different, Web Gallery of Art . Here’s a few interesting works, by Bosch and Altodorfer, -use the search feature to find works- look on page 3 for the The Battle of Alexander 1529. I saw this in Person in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich a few years ago. It was pretty amazing to see the level of detail painted into the battle scene.

In these boldly scaled portraits of truckers, oil workers and drifters, Richard Avedon created a compelling record of the fiber – hard, caring, frayed and resilient – of common American characters. Assertive, controversial and graphically striking, the portraits in the exhibition generated extensive and at times heated discussion about the nature of portraiture, photography and the true identity of the American West. Avedon’s oversize portraits of working class Westerners have become icons in photographic history and the project still stands as a definitive expression of the power of photographic art.
