String Theory

String theory is a newer theory in physics that attempts to explain everything. The currently used atomic theory has a flaw, you can keep asking "Well what are protons made of? Quarks? Well what are quarks made of?" etc etc.

String theory escapes this endless loop of going smaller and smaller. String theory states that quarks are made up of tiny vibrating strings. One may ask, "Well if all quarks are made up of tiny vibrating strings, what makes the quarks different?" (As the quarks must obviously be different because there have been dozens of different kinda of particles discovered (you know, alpha , beta , etc)). The answer to this question is that the string vibrate at various frequencies. This additional variable accounts for the many property differences of particles.

Thats the jist of string theory. Now for scientists to make this theory check out mathematically, they had to add 7 extra dimensions (for a grand total of ten) and there are lots of theories out there as to what these ten dimensions are. Some say they are too small for us to observe. If we ever do prove the existence of other dimensions (for example, if we observe matter disappearing (not converting to energy) then we can assume it has left our dimension, we will be much closer to solving the mystery of the universe. But then what about other universes...
Relativity collides with atomic theory, thus string theory is born!

hybrid theory

One of the best albums people have ever heard. It's Linkin Park's debut album. There's not a single bad word in it.

Track wise analysis:

1.PAPERCUT-Super fast rapping by Shinoda building to several mini choruses, and eventually a long melodic chorus punctuated by rap.

2.ONE STEP CLOSER-Linkin Park made this angst filled song when they were frustrated in perfecting "Runaway", which is Track#6 in the album. This song was their first ever single. They play this track as the last song in every concert of theirs.

3.WITH YOU-This is the track in which you notice the unique turn tabling ability of DJ Hahn. So far, the only Linkin Park song where Chester sings in a "different" voice, noticeable in the chorus.

4.POINTS OF AUTHORITY-The only sign of rap is in the beginning and somewhere towards the middle. Another nice track to play on the move.

5.CRAWLING-The Music Video for this won a Grammy Award in 2002. Best part is the few lines before the chorus. Powerful lyrics, Chester is predominant.

6.RUNAWAY-The first 3 seconds of this song made me a Linkin Park freak. Nice track to succeed Crawling

7.BY MYSELF-You can classify this as "Lazy Rap". I never liked this song much, but the chorus is very catchy.

8.IN THE END-Aw C'mon, of course you know this one. It's the most popular song they have ever made, till date. Nu Metal, as it's peak. A piano loop throughout, fast-rapping by Shinoda, chorus by Chester.

9.A PLACE FOR MY HEAD-An Arabic twinge to the guitar used in this one. A superb one where Chester screams the loudest. Placement in the album spot on.

10.FORGOTTEN-Heaviest track in the album. Here's where you spot the inefficiency of the Linkin Park guitarists. Luckily Shinoda's rapping saves the song.

11.CURE FOR THE ITCH-All instrumental. DJ Hahn at his turntables. Full Marks!

12.PUSHING ME AWAY-AN anticlimax, appearing at the end of the album. Nevertheless, a great song, to hear when you are feeling guilty after lying to somebody.

This is amazing. One of the few rock albums where they don't swear. Linkin Park knows how to do it.

music theory

Essentially, the alphabet of music. It is important to learn theory so that when you decide to break the rules, you are doing it out of wisdom, and not out of ignorance. See: Miles Davis
Music theory teaches you important rudimentary skills necessary to be successful as a professional musician.

The Theory of Liquortivity

A general theory of the world where all matter is made up of the two elements of liquor-drugs and non-liquor. The theory advances the view that individuals and society as a whole only advance with higher levels of liquor-drug consumption. Proponents of this theory thus advocate for policies of liquor and cigarette subsidies and outlawing public sobriety.
According to the theory of liquortivity the prolonged economic downturn is the result of growing nationwide anti-smoking programs and taxes, along with a deficient level of aggregate demand for liquor-drugs.

Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem states that if Pedestrian A attempts to cross in front of car B at anything less than a 90 degree perpendicular angle, we can conclude that Pedestrian A is getting cut off.
"John (the model citizen) used the Pythagorean Theorem to determine it was faster to cross the road in a straight line, rather than diagonally."
