The expansion of the universe is the increase in distance between any two given gravitationally unbound parts of the observable universe with time. It is an intrinsic expansion whereby the scale of space itself changes. The universe does not expand "into" anything and does not require space to exist "outside" it.

Superluminal Motion

A pulsar (from pulse and -ar as in “quasar”) is a highly magnetized rotating compact star (usually neutron stars but also white dwarfs) that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation out of its magnetic poles. This radiation can be observed only when a beam of emission is pointing toward Earth (similar to the way a lighthouse can be seen only when the light is pointed in the direction of an observer), and is responsible for the pulsed appearance of emission. Neutron stars are very dense and have short, regular rotational periods. This produces a very precise interval between pulses that ranges from milliseconds to seconds for an individual pulsar. Pulsars are one of the candidates for the source of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.

Cygnus

21 hours right ascension and 40° north in declination

According to the myth, Phaethon's close friend, Cygnus, grieved bitterly and spent many days diving into the river to collect Phaethon's bones to give him a proper burial. The gods were so touched by Cygnus's devotion that they turned him into a swan and placed him among the stars.

In Greek mythology, Andromeda is the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, king and queen of ancient Aethiopia. Her mother Cassiopeia foolishly boasts that she is more beautiful than the Nereids, a display of hubris by a human that is unacceptable to the gods. To punish the queen for her arrogance, Poseidon floods the Ethiopian coast and sends a sea monster named Cetus to ravage the kingdom's inhabitants. In desperation, King Cepheus consults the oracle of Ammon, who announces that no respite can be found until the king sacrifices his daughter, Andromeda, to Cetus.

The gravity of this spinning, highly magnetic star, or pulsar, is about 300 billion times stronger than the force that’s holding your feet to the ground. A companion white dwarf is what remains of a much lighter star that is dying out.

If artists, in part, are born not created, then Ladd’s life and art demonstrate this axiom. Music has been Ladd’s passion as far back as his memories stretch. Both classically trained and self-taught, Ladd combines the two to create a unique sound born of his mind and soul. His music entices and invites the mind into worlds yet to be fully explored, and spaces where the soul, heart, and eternal energy of existence are at once, joined together, and separate. This auditory combination gives life to itself in his music, allowing the sensory experience to be had in endless facets, as the sound of his compositions and the intricacy of arpeggios and voices serve as a vehicle for transcendent auditory discovery.

In a world where electronic music sometimes becomes homogenized, Ladd’s sound is unique not only for its individuality, but the energy of which it takes ahold and wraps around the listener. In other words, one doesn’t just hear his music, one LISTENS and is made part of the sound, surrounded by the notes, swirling and drifting in spacetime, seeing things the eyes cannot detect, hearing with the soul, and feeling the corporeal self-release into the energy that flashes in and out around the listener. His music incorporates the senses so that the notes and sounds are no longer a different entity, but a part of one’s mind, opening the emotions and breaking through barriers to higher spaces of experience, and sensory awareness.
