Roy Ayers (born September 10, 1940) is an American funk, soul, and jazz composer and vibraphone player. Ayers began his career as a post-bop jazz artist, releasing several albums with Atlantic Records, before his tenure at Polydor Records beginning in the 1970s, during which he helped pioneer jazz-funk. He is a key figure in the acid jazz movement, which is a mixture of jazz into hip-hop and funk, and has been dubbed by many as "The Godfather of Neo Soul". He is most well known for his signature compositions "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" and "Searchin". and is also famous for having more sampled hits by rappers than any other artist.
Ayers was born in Los Angeles, and grew up in a musical family, where his father played trombone and his mother played piano. At the age of five, he was given his first pair of vibraphone mallets by Lionel Hampton. The area of Los Angeles that Ayers grew up in, now known as "South Central" but then known as "South Park", was the epicenter of the Southern California Black music scene. The schools he attended (Wadsworth Elementary, Nevins Middle School, and Thomas Jefferson High School) were all close to the famed Central Avenue, Los Angeles' equivalent of Harlem's Lenox Avenue and Chicago's State Street. Roy would likely have been exposed to music as it not only emanated from the many nightclubs and bars in the area, but also poured out of many of the homes where the musicians who kept the scene alive lived in and around Central. During high school, Ayers sang in the church choir and fronted a band named The Latin Lyrics, in which he played steel guitar and piano. His high school, Thomas Jefferson High School, produced some of the most talented new musicians, such as Dexter Gordon.
Dee Dee Bridgewater (born May 27, 1950) is an American jazz singer. She is a three-time Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter, as well as a Tony Award - winning stage actress and host of National Public Radio's syndicated radio show JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater. She is a United Nations Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization.
Born Denise Eileen Garrett in Memphis, Tennessee, she was raised Catholic in Flint, Michigan. Her father, Matthew Garrett, was a jazz trumpeter and teacher at Manassas High School, and through his playing, she was exposed to jazz early on. At the age of sixteen, she was a member of a rock and rhythm'n'blues trio, singing in clubs in Michigan. At 18, she studied at the Michigan State University before she went to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. With their jazz band, she toured the Soviet Union in 1969.
The next year, she met trumpeter Cecil Bridgewater, and after their marriage, they moved to New York City, where Cecil played in Horace Silver's band. In the early 1970s, Bridgewater joined the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra as the lead vocalist. This marked the beginning of her jazz career, and she performed with many of the great jazz musicians of the time, such as Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon, Max Roach, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and others. She performed at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1973. In 1974, her first own album, entitled Afro Blue, appeared, and she also performed on Broadway in the musical The Wiz. For her role as Glinda the Good Witch she won a Tony Award in 1975 as "best featured actress", and the musical also won the 1976 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.
In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single interwoven continuum. The spacetime of our universe has historically been interpreted from a Euclidean space perspective, which regards space as consisting of three dimensions, and time as consisting of one dimension, the "fourth dimension". By combining space and time into a single manifold called Minkowski space, physicists have significantly simplified a large number of physical theories, as well as described in a more uniform way the workings of the universe at both the supergalactic and subatomic levels.
In non-relativistic classical mechanics, the use of Euclidean space instead of spacetime is appropriate, because time is treated as universal with a constant rate of passage that is independent of the state of motion of an observer. In relativistic contexts, time cannot be separated from the three dimensions of space, because the observed rate at which time passes for an object depends on the object's velocity relative to the observer and also on the strength of gravitational fields, which can slow the passage of time for an object as seen by an observer outside the field.

Dee Dee is a dance music project from A&S Productions in Belgium. The group consists of vocalist Diana Trippaers, producers Christophe Chantzis, Erik Vanspauwen & Tommie Kidjemet. Dee Dee was successful across Europe in the early 2000s with a string of Eurodance tracks and were most famous for "Forever," which peaked at #12 in the UK Singles Chart.
“Forever” was released July 19, 2001, on vinyl by A&S recordings. On August 2nd 2001 it entered the Belgian dance chart at #6. Dee Dee did their first TV performance together with the CD single release on September 3rd 2001. Dee Dee spent almost 10 weeks in the official Belgian Top 20. This result, combined with the amount of vinyls exported, resulted in many license offers from E.M.I, Ministry of Sound and Robbins Entertainment, with releases in Spain, Hungary, Italy, Germany, Australia, Israel, Italy, Denmark, The Netherlands, USA and the UKther! It reached a Golden Record in Hungary, Nominated “Best Dance” in WMC awards in Miami, #1 in German Dance charts, almost a top 10 in the UK top 40, included with BBC Top Of The Pops performance and UK club tour.
Dexter's Laboratory (commonly abbreviated as Dexter's Lab) is an American comic science fiction animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network, and the first of the network's Cartoon Cartoons. The series follows Dexter, a boy-genius and inventor with a secret laboratory, who constantly battles his sister Dee Dee in an attempt to keep her out of the lab. He also engages in a bitter rivalry with his neighbor and fellow-genius Mandark. The first two seasons contained additional segments: Dial M for Monkey, which focuses on Dexter's pet lab-monkey/superhero, and The Justice Friends, about a trio of superheroes who share an apartment.
Tartakovsky pitched the series to Hanna-Barbera's animated shorts showcase What a Cartoon!, basing it on student films he produced while attending the California Institute of the Arts. A pilot aired on Cartoon Network in February 1995 and another pilot also aired on the network in March 1996; viewer approval ratings convinced Cartoon Network to order a half-hour series, which premiered on April 28, 1996. On December 10, 1999, a television movie titled Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip aired as the intended series finale, and Tartakovsky left to begin work on his new series, Samurai Jack. However, in 2001, the network revived the series under a different production team at Cartoon Network Studios. It ended on November 20, 2003, with a total of four seasons and 78 episodes.
Spacetime, as a concept, is related to a space that consists of 4 dimensions instead of the regular 3-dimensional space. As early as 1905, Einstein proposed a now widely popular theory that the speed of light is independent of the motion of all observers, and that space and time are interconnected in a single continuum. This theory, which is now a cornerstone of modern and quantum physics, is known as Einstein’s special theory of relativity. Einstein's proposed idea of a single continuum where space and time are interwoven is what people call “space-time”. According to this theory, time—which has traditionally been considered an independent entity according to the principles of classical physics—is affected when a body moves through space. This happens because, according to the theory, tim...

There are cosmic events so powerful that they leave permanent marks on the fabric of the universe itself. Imagine two colossal black holes spiraling into each other, yes they send ripples in the fabric of spacetime—gravitational waves that we’ve only recently learned to sense. Ripples pass, leaving the pond … or the universe … unchanged when they’re gone. But ripples aren’t the only type of wave. There’s another type of wave that leaves a permanent mark—a memory etched in the fabric of the universe. They’re akin to gravitational tsunamis, and we’re on the verge of being able to detect them.

In 1919, Arthur Eddington led an expedition to observe a total solar eclipse, confirming that light passing near the Sun is deflected due to its gravity. This observation supported Einstein's theory of general relativity, which differs from Newton's laws by predicting that massive objects warp spacetime, affecting the path of light. Einstein resolved a paradox wherein photons traveling different distances (AB vs. CD) near a massive object like the Sun reach their destination simultaneously. According to special relativity, light's speed is constant, so photons traveling a shorter path (CD) should take less time. However, in general relativity, the presence of a massive object causes time to slow down, an effect called gravitational time dilation. To visualize this, imagine spacetime as a...

Space is expanding evenly everywhere, but if you rewind that expansion you find that all of space was once compacted in an infinitesimal point of infinite density—the singularity at the beginning of time. The expansion of the universe from this point is called the Big Bang. We like to tell this story because it's the correct conclusion from the description of an expanding universe that followed Einstein's general theory of relativity back in the 19-teens. But since then we've learned so much more since then. Does our modern understanding of the un...
Time travel has fascinated humanity for generations, intertwining scientific theories and imaginative storytelling. From Einstein's groundbreaking theory of relativity to the speculative concept of wormholes, this captivating topic invites questions about the nature of time and our place within it. Einstein's theory of relativity introduced the idea that time is not a fixed constant but a flexible dimension interconnected with space, forming what we know as space-time. This revolutionary concept suggests that under certain conditions, such as traveling at nearly the speed of light or being near massive objects, time can stretch or contract. This phenomenon, known as time dilation, offers a theoretical foundation for moving through time, albeit with practical limitations that challenge our...

Beyond time and space
There is another place
Where I can rest my soul and
Find some time to waste
Time and space
Matter misplace
Universal theory turned to waste
Faced the question
Tasted deception
Erased history for proper perception
Now we're left in emergency
B.C. caused belief to be
Can't wait for 2000 to be over
So clockwork panic can sober
I keep on thinking about
Those places that I've been
In my mind I keep on traveling
On to those distant lands
How long's it take
For the Earth to rotate around the sun
Three sixty five days
Plus a fourth for fun
Expansion of space leaves time out of place
Branjo come in with that funky ass
Bass that rolls and flips
Drops twist
Won't risk balance for this
Pessimistic clock on top of that wrist
My existence is what you missed
{Chorus}
What we already know
Shows how much we have to learn
There's more than meets the eye
Our fates can confirm
Beyond time and space
There is another place
Where I can rest my soul and
Find some time to waste
Frequently used terms
Of the laboratory contradictions
Let history
Affect my glory
'Cause so many stories
have turned into warnings
mornings continue to bring the light
prophesies of fright excite the masses
and get called right
{Chorus}
So stop drop and roll
Our future will soon be foretold
And our souls sold to the one below
And with this knowledge I know
We'll have nothing to show but
Destination control
Ain't no roll of the die but control of the mind
Will soon find time and space
Coincide with grace
Inside the maze of sensation and face
The race of people labeled not equal
On each other for purpose of sequel
Inspite of what they feel
That's the real deal
I write to reveal not conceal
