I would like to share this thought with you from one of our Jazz Roster musicians, Marcus Miller: Marcus is a Harvard Graduate, who worked on Wall Street, but then decided that the pull of the music inside was too strong. He left the financial district, moved into a different district, and now shares his passion and music with many.
t’2-t’1 = (t2-t1) /((1-(v/c)2)^(-1/2))
Where t =time in at rest, t’=time when moving, v=your speed, c=speed of light. Which basically means that the faster you move, the slower time moves. Maybe the analogy doesn’t quite hold up but humor me. I’ve been checking out a great book on relativity recently and if I ever get through with the covariant derivative, I’d love to tell you more about the cool physical insights.
Its funny how certain habits and tendencies never seem to leave. Even though, I have no immediate use for them, nor do I have a circle of friends who are interested, Math and Physics stay close to my heart. Music is the same way. There were times when I tried to give it up and head off in another direction, but every time I tried to leave something kept pulling me back (me back telling you I need you in my life…sometimes it feels like a misty rain… Jaco). Sometimes circumstances that don’t allow you to leave are pleasant, like flashes of inspiration and nostalgic passion. Other times they come in the form of magnificent failures, stupendous disasters, and beautiful blunders that correct you from going too far astray. I try to enjoy them both as best I can. If nothing else, the failures make for great stories with interesting people while dining at the edge of the world.
