Listening Note 002 / Albert Einstein

A little universe.

“I am happy
because I want
nothing from anyone.”

ALBERT EINSTEIN · INTERVIEW, 1929
QUOTE SOURCE ↗

A song, two films, a few books and objects.
A little room for curiosity.

Selected by Dave.

Black-and-white photograph of a man standing quietly on a beach
A moment by the sea.
A musical dedication

A song for Einstein.

For the man by the sea.
A voice, a question, a moment to listen.

No, no, principessa…
Tre enigmi m’hai proposto

Franco Corelli · Turandot · 1958 TV film

I don’t understand the theory of relativity.
But I like its name, because everything in this world is relative.
That is balance. That is relativity.

ผมไม่เข้าใจทฤษฎีสัมพัทธภาพ
แต่ผมชอบชื่อของมัน เพราะทุกสิ่งในโลกนี้ล้วนสัมพันธ์กัน
นี่คือความสมดุล นี่คือความสัมพัทธ์

— Dave
