03 | Does Time Exist? Felix Flicker

Paul Robertson, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Irvine, is co-author of a new paper in The Astronomical Journal on an exoplanet that is tantalizingly close to Earth. The proximity of this exoplanet helps astronomers glean more details about it. They want to know how it compares in size to Earth, if it has an atmosphere, and if it is in the habitable zone, a distance from the host star that would make it possible for the planet to have liquid water on its surface, a key ingredient to support potential life. In this episode of the UC Irvine Podcast, Robertson discusses the tools he and his team used to characterize this exoplanet and what he hopes to learn in future exoplanet hunting efforts.

UC Irvine Podcast: Studying a Nearby Exoplanet

Ten years after the first detection of gravitational waves, scientists have captured the clearest signal yet — and it confirms one of Stephen Hawking’s most famous predictions.  Using the upgraded LIGO detectors, researchers observed two black holes colliding over a billion light-years away, producing space-time ripples so precise they could “hear” the black holes ring like cosmic bells.


Verse 1
Ten years since the silence broke,
The void began to sing,
A billion years of distance spoke,
Through spacetime's trembling string.
Two shadows spun in endless dance,
Till gravity took wing,
And LIGO caught the final glance-
We heard the black holes ring.

Chorus
Black holes ring in the dark unseen,
Echoes where no light has been,
Hawking's words across the stream,
Proving more than just a dream.
Black holes ring, and time bends thin,
The music of creation's spin.

Verse 2
They merged beyond the light of stars,
A whisper through the deep,
Their waveform carved in cosmic scars,
Awakening from sleep.
The sound was clear, the tone was true,
A choir beyond the seen,
Confirming what the mind once knew-
That Hawking dreamed in rings.

Chorus
Black holes ring in the dark unseen,
Echoes where no light has been,
Hawking's words across the stream,
Proving more than just a dream.
Black holes ring, and time bends thin,
The music of creation's spin.

Bridge
The void's not empty, it's alive,
A symphony beneath the skies,
Each ripple sings the laws we find,
Where matter fades and minds align.

Final Chorus
Black holes ring, the cosmos hums,
The edge of truth forever drums,
Light is gone, yet sound remains-
The voice of stars, through endless chains.
Black holes ring, and we begin,
To hear the pulse of what's within.

Black Holes Ring

Shorten  Winter Suffer

I made this track 4 years ago and i always liked it, its unusual for what i usually make, rather lo-fi and really dark. So i found the file again to edit it and i did a small remix. 

Undefinable Configuration

It's like really deep like metaphysics but then there's like images of faun copulation happening while listening to it.....I really don't know what this is.....but I like it.

And the Universe Balances at Zero

In When the World Learned to Listen, gravity has rhythm and curiosity becomes sound. Set against dark trap beats, heavy bass, and ghostly synths, the track transforms Sir Isaac Newton’s discoveries—motion, light, gravity—into a sonic meditation on chaos and comprehension. Two voices intertwine and diverge, navigating tension and collapse, echoing the invisible laws that govern planets and perception alike.

The beat pulses like a cosmic heart, fractured yet precise, mirroring the unseen order in the universe. The duo doesn’t plead but listens—tracing paths of comets, arcs of planets, and the subtle prisms of light—exploring whether order exists before consciousness or emerges through observation. By the final resonance, darkness and rhythm fuse into reflection and awe.

A tribute to Newton, a dialogue with the cosmos, and a dance with the unseen.

When the World Learned to Listen

Army marching down the street one day,
Revolutionary Gravity,

And you should follow the parts,
And you should follow your senses,
And you should follow your heart,
Any you should let me put two cents in,

Baby you had it, I want you to grab it,
Like gravity and security,
And the habits that you want to break,
Falling down like rain on me,
You can break me any day,

Army marches now the other way,
We kicked them out with gravity,
Limit the ways that you have me,
Gravity and no security,
Falling down like something green,
That wakes up all the hearts,

We won’t be too bored of the slow life,
And you should know all your lines by now,
And you should know all your lines by now,

The army marches down the street,
The army marches down the street,
What they, what they, what they see,
Limit the ways that you have me,

Limit the ways that you have me,
Gravity no security,
Falling down like something green,
That wakes all the hearts,

Baby you had it, I want you to grab it,
Falling down like rain on me,
You can break me,
But you just can’t break gravity.

gravity

An epic, multilingual confrontation that unfolds as a clash between the mind and the universe. My song questions human agency, reflections on physical laws and abstractness, along with the role of doubt as the true driver of consciousness. Cosmic imagery and paradoxes transform science into poetry, while it invites humanity to stand humbly before the universe. It offers no easy answers — only light where the unknown pulses. — Aproveite a música! (^ - ^)/

Mental Dancer

Hello, again. Hahaha! (^ - ^)v Look... The lyrics were inspired by paradoxes such as Schrödinger’s Cat. This song explores the tension between knowledge and ignorance, stasis and evolution, existence and doubt. Its structure shifts from reflective verses to powerful, anthemic hooks, creating a sonic way that challenges the listener to think, resist arrogance, and embrace resilience. With dynamic instrumentation and philosophical depth, Static ≠ Dynamic is both an intellectual and emotional experience — a fusion of science, philosophy, and raw musical energy. — As we say in Brazilian Portuguese: "Até mais," which means "See you later"/"またね".

Static ≠ Dynamic

It's here, it's there, it's nowhere, it's particle, it's light, it's quantum, goodnight

Could We Nuke Mars’ Core to Restart Its Spin? | New Insights on Martian Interior

Human Consciousness Comes From a Higher Dimension, Scientist Claims—Meaning It Could Transcend the Physical World When we think creatively or have “Eureka” moments, we may actually unlock access to a dimension outside of our everyday perception, according to the controversial theory. 


Verse 1
In the quiet of the mind, where the daylight fades,
There's a shimmer at the edge of the thoughts we've made.
Sometimes a spark rises up like a lantern light,
Showing a path that was hidden just out of sight.

Pre-Chorus
It feels like a whisper calling from somewhere beyond,
Where the patterns shift and the veils grow thin.

Chorus
Hidden dimensions drifting just outside our view,
Opening wider when the heart breaks through.
When a sudden idea comes rising like a storm,
Maybe the mind steps beyond the world we're born.

Verse 2
Every question that we chase through the winding years
Feels like a doorway carved out of ancient fears.
Still there's a place where the unknown hums like a wire,
Pulling us upward toward something higher.

Pre-Chorus
A moment of clarity shining with strange new design,
As if we brushed the edge of another time.

Chorus
Hidden dimensions drifting just outside our view,
Opening wider when the heart breaks through.
When a sudden idea comes rising like a storm,
Maybe the mind steps beyond the world we're born.

Bridge
Maybe thought is a traveler crossing unseen planes,
Where memory dissolves and only insight remains.
If the soul is a lantern burning in shifting space,
Each flash of inspiration might reveal another place.

Final Chorus
Hidden dimensions drifting just outside our view,
Calling us gently toward something true.
When the spark in the dark shows a way past form,
Maybe the mind steps beyond the world we're born.

ENG: Merely an existence within a (vast) universe brimming with vibrating strings. I’ve always written the lyrics, but I’ve never shared them in the form of a song — well, now I’ve decided to share them.


PT-BR: Meramente uma existência em um (vasto) universo tecido por cordas vibrantes. Sempre criei as letras, mas nunca compartilhei em formato de canção — bom, agora, decidi compartilhá-las.


日本語: ただ、振動する弦に満ちた（広大な）宇宙の中の一存在。いつも歌詞は作ってきましたが、曲としては一度も共有したことがありませんでした。――でも、今はそれを共有することに決めました。— I'm studying Japanese... Ah... Look, I'm trying to learn. Haha!

...They taught us that art is about expressing yourself—that you have to have something to say. That's not true—you don't have to say anything at all...

Anbid Zaman is a queer activist and artist whose work rises from a life marked by displacement, resistance, and the insistence on living fully even when the world tries to deny that possibility. Born in Bangladesh and shaped by grassroots queer organizing from a young age, they grew into their voice through community struggle — learning early that courage isn’t an act, but a daily discipline.

Their journey from danger to refuge transformed them without erasing their origins. Living in Germany, Anbid continues to work at the intersections of identity, migration, and liberation, supporting queer people who face violence and navigating the complexities of chosen family, safety, and belonging. Their activism is guided by deep commitments: justice without compromise, solidarity across borders, and an unshakeable belief that marginalised voices should be heard not with pity, but with respect.

These values spill directly into their music. Anbid’s sound blends testimonial storytelling, emotional minimalism, and atmospheric layers shaped by memory — the quiet of hiding, the noise of protest, the ache of leaving, the thrill of surviving. Each track carries the weight of lived experience and the brightness of hope that refuses to die. Their art is not just expression; it is continuation, resistance, and a reminder that stories carry power long before the world acknowledges them.

Began professionally releasing music in 2012.  First release was entitled "Dreams Between the Sound Machines". 

Released second album in 2014 entitled "Endless Energies".

Released a couple of singles throughout 2015 and 2016.

Began re-releasing music on August 9 2023.  Since August 9th have released 47 musical compositions.

I write lyrics in a wide range of genres. Work with 2 musicians (so far) and suno.com to make songs. Make videos for the songs on my youtube channel. Poet, lyricist, piano hack. Youtube is langstonify. Professor of African American Studies and Creative Writing.
