Yeap, recently released Linkin Park album in which they embarked on a new style of music. It's more to the techno/rap kind-of-thing and is completely different from their previous style, rock/rap. But, one thing to note from this album is its concept.
Thousand Suns, the title of this album, was attributed to a quote from Robert Oppenheimer, the father of atomic bomb, referring to the Hindu Sanskrit Text Bhagvad Gita, "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one." I believed that Robert Oppenheimer would have felt what Alfred Nobel used to feel. Robert Oppenheimer most famous quote was: "Now I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Frankly, I was really inspired by the newly released Linkin Park album despite their change in music style. It reminded us of how important world peace was and how fragile it was. The development and execution of nuclear bombing was an eye-opener to every single human, the power of nature. I kept on hearing the message that the devastating power born from the very mind of humans to kill another humans was just not the way. We, humans, need to learn from this particular point in the world history. There is only one earth for us to live in. We are indifferent in many ways.
Which bring us to the last paragraph, about science. I admit that while listening to this album, the scientist inside me yearned for more physics. Since high school, I always think that quantum physics and electromagnetism were a very 'magical' concept as to prove their existence, one have to explore the very fundamental system in our nature i.e. the fundamental particles interaction. I am so in Physics mode now although I am a chemist. But, well, a bit of Physics won't kill.
