That’s not photoshop; that’s an actual cloud hovering inside an actual room. Artist Berndnaut Smilde merges art and science to create small man-made clouds that exist — albeit for just a moment — indoors.

It turns out that if you divide 1 by 998,001 you get all three-digit numbers from 000 to 999 in order.
Except for 998.

The Einstein Theory of Relativity is a 20 minute silent black and white animated film. It was produced in 1923 by the Fleischer Studios, best known for their Betty Boop cartoons.
The film aims to explain Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to anyone willing to invest 20 minutes in watching the movie. Though it is almost a hundred years old, its simple but ingenious animation is very effective in demystifying Einstein’s theory without the need of advanced physics or mathematics.
The movie starts by examining the meaning behind the term relativity and how it relates to the general theory. It then proceeds to demonstrate how things such as motion, direction, size, speed and time are all relative to the observer’s point of view or the general frame of reference.
In fact, all measurement is relative and space is bent…

What is a slow jam? Is it any down-tempo ballad that speaks to the emotional ups and downs of a romantic relationship? Is it an R&B song about falling in love? How about a soul song that details exactly how badly the singer needs someone in his or her life? Do breakup songs count? Where does heartbreak figure in? What about beats per minute? Or is the determination more about when and where (and with whom) you listen to the song in question?
We know a few things, to be sure. It would not be a slow-jam mix without D’Angelo or SWV’s “Weak.” Gerald Levert is a hero. Teddy Pendergrass, Lenny Williams and Chico Buarque are titans in this field. Tony Toni Tone. Anita Baker. Keith Sweat. Oh, it’s on.
You could debate the definition of a slow jam for hours, or you could listen to our mix, call your special someone and just see what happens.

How do you tell somebody you love that you hate them? How do you tell them that when you look into their face you see all that’s ever made you happy and everything that has caused the most pain you’ve ever felt? How do you tell them that you don’t think they notice or care? That you feel like you should have walked away a long time ago… that whatever this that’s going on won’t work? Even though you so badly want it to… that we’re adults now. The old things don’t work. You can’t just hold me and everything will be ok.
