Vielleicht das Coolste, was ich in letzter Zeit im Netz gefunden habe (genauer gesagt hat's jemand auf reddit im Thread zur heutigen NASA-Kepler-452b-Konferenz verlinkt):
Lightyear.fm - ein Websimulator, der zeigt, welche Musik man in unserer kosmischen Nachbarschaft hören würde, wenn man dort draußen unsere Radiosignale klar empfangen könnte (also das Abstandsgesetz außer acht lässt).
Achtung: sehr speicherintensiv, und wer mit Pop, Rap und R&B nichts anfangen kann, sollte vielleicht die ersten 20 Jahre überspringen.
"What today's nationalists and neosegregationists fail to understand," Kwame said, "is that the basis of every human culture is, and always has been, synthesis. No civilization is authentic, monolithic, pure; the exact opposite is true. Look at your average Western nation: its numbers Arabic, its alphabet Latin, its religion Levantine, its philosophy Greek†¦ need I continue? And each of these examples can itself be broken down further: the Romans got their alphabet from the Greeks, who created theirs by stealing from the Phoenicians, and so on. Our myths and religions, too, are syncretic - sharing, repeating and adapting a large variety of elements to suit their needs. Even the language of our creation, the DNA itself, is impure, defined by a history of amalgamation: not only between nations, but even between different human species!"
