Here's something I bet you never heard. (or heard of before, could be wrong) At the end of Eclipse, From Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, very very low under the heartbeats, after he says: "There is no dark side in the moon really, as a matter of fact, it's all dark.." I'll preface by saying I didn't find this myself, I found the file looking for some Beatle stuff, and the file name made clear what it was.. I checked Eclipse myself using Audacity and amplifying, and damned if it isn't there! An elevator music version of 'Ticket To Ride'.. Interesting, eh? www.jojoplace.org/Shoebox/Eclipse_Ticket_To_Ride.mp3

My son and I joke about that every time we listen to it. You have to get the accent just so. Funny thing about Eclipse, how it ends with the words, "But the sun is eclipsed by the moon." The moment of eclipse is the only time WE are on the "dark side" of the moon. (I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.) -j

I read somewhere that it's actually an orchestral version of Ticket To Ride. As far as I know, there has never been an album of "elevator music" Beatles remixes. Dark Side of the Moon was recorded at Abbey Road so as you could imagine there are a number of ways that that music could have accidentally leaked onto to the tape.

From: members.cox.net/stegokitty/dsotr_pages/uncle_henry.htm...you can faintly hear some music playing. Strangely enough it's an orchestral version of The Beatles' Ticket to Ride. Both Pink Floyd and The Beatles recorded at Abbey Roads Studios, and at times, contributed to each other in one fashion or another. According to at least one interview that I've seen, George Martin, the recording director or engineer for the Beatles said that quite often the studio tapes used by either group would have been erased and reused. With that in mind, it's entirely possible (though maybe not probable) to find a faint remnant of Floyd music stuck somewhere on a Beatles album. The thing I can't figure out is, just for what reason an orchestral rendition of Ticket to Ride (though it sounds more like MUZAK, elevator music to me) would even be recorded -- unless there is a portion of a Beatles film that contains this music. Does anyone have a clue as the to true use of this music? If so it'd be nice to know...I agree that it is more "Muzak-esque". Muzak is technically the name of a company, not a style of music, just that in their early days the style of music they supplied to the businesses that subscribed to them was that bland, stereotypically homogenized stuff. It seems to not be around much anymore, the background music tends more towards carefully chosen light rock, adult contemporary, etc. Don't know if there was ever an album recorded with Beatle "Muzak", I can tell you they were a favorite of the Muzak company, heard a lot growing up.. Whether this is a remnant from a improperly erased tape, bleed through from another studio, or deliberate for some weird reason.. who knows really. A bit of a reach, but Eclipse is preceded by Brain Damage, and there's the line near the end: And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes..

The first time travellers from the future could materialise on Earth within a few weeks.
Physicists around the world are excitedly awaiting the start up of the £4.65 billion Large Hadron Collider, LHC - the most powerful atom-smasher ever built - which is supposed to shed new light on the particles and forces at work in the cosmos and reproduce conditions that date to near the Big Bang of creation.
Prof Irina Aref'eva and Dr Igor Volovich, mathematical physicists at the Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow believe that the vast experiment at CERN, the European particle physics centre near Geneva in Switzerland, may turn out to be the world's first time machine, reports New Scientist.
The debut in early summer could provide a landmark because travelling into the past is only possible - if it is possible at all - as far back as the point of creation of the first time machine.
That means 2008 could become "Year Zero" for temporal travel, they argue.
Time travel was born when Albert Einstein's colleague, Kurt Gödel, used Einstein's theory of relativity to show that travel into the past was possible.
Ever since he unveiled this idea in 1949, eminent physicists have argued against time travel because it undermines ideas of cause and effect to create paradoxes: a time traveller could go back to kill his grandfather so that he is never born in the first place.
But, sixty years later, there is still no fundamental reason why time travellers cannot put historians out of business.
But the Russians argue that when the energies of the LHC are concentrated into a subatomic particle - a trillionth the size of a mosquito - they can do strange things to the fabric of the universe, which is a blend of space and time that scientists called spacetime.
While Earth's gravity produces gentle distortions in spacetime the LHC energy can distort time so much that it loops back on itself. These loops are known to physicists as "closed timelike curves" and they ought, at least in theory, to allow us to revisit some past moment.
The scheme chimes with one laid out in 1988, when Prof Kip Thorne and colleagues at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, showed that wormholes, or tunnels through spacetime, would allow time travel, a scheme popularised by Carl Sagan in his novel - made into a film - Contact. www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=2896

I'm sure that he thought that it would be cool to wear a spacesuit. From the look on his face in the above photo, it's kinda obvious that the experience was not quite what he expected. Also, it appears that he was dealing with a mild case of Bell's Palsy at the time.

MISSION PROFILE: Gemini 12
Mission Duration: 4 days
Date: November 11-15, 1966
Life Sciences Research Objectives To study development in fertilized frog eggs
Life Sciences Investigations Cell/Developmental Biology (G12-1)
Organisms Studied Rana pipiens (frog) eggs
Flight Hardware Rana (frog) Egg Package
The four-day Gemini 12 mission was launched on November 11, 1966. Only one biological experiment was performed onboard the spacecraft. It was a reflight of an experiment that had flown on the Gemini 8 mission. The results of the Gemini 8 experiment were inconclusive because the mission had to be terminated prematurely.
Life Sciences Objectives
The objective of the experiment was to study the effect of microgravity on developmental processes.
Life Sciences Payload
Organisms Eggs of the bullfrog Rana pipiens were used in the experiment.
Hardware The hardware used was identical to that used in the experiment on Gemini 8, except that there was only one unit on this mission. The unit was mounted on the pilot's hatch.
Operations
Control studies and preflight procedures were similar to those performed for the Gemini 8 experiment.
Fixative was released into individual egg chambers 40 minutes and 130 minutes after launch. Eggs in a third chamber were fixed shortly before re-entry. The eggs in the fourth chamber were left alive for comparison with the fixed specimens.
The experiment equipment and specimens were removed from the spacecraft shortly after recovery.
Results
Development was normal, indicating that a gravitational field was not necessary for eggs to divide normally or to develop at later stages. However, as in the Gemini 8 mission, the eggs were fertilized on the ground and exposure to microgravity occurred only after the two-cell stage, which is thought to be critical for normal development.

And for you new-comers, there was one other thing that was done on the Gemini 12 mission that was not listed in the description above, according to some posters at TKIN. They said that Paul McCartney's dead body or his ashes were hidden aboard the docking module (that white cylindar in the picture). So, as Total Information has mentioned, he was "buried" in space. But for my two cents, there appears to be someone waiting to pick up the body. Or is that, as Nasa claimed, just ice particles (swamp gas, Venus, etc.)? And before you say, "That can't be right", listen for someone doing a countdown just before the ascending crescendo on "A Day In the Life". www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZez_k4vAzU

For those of you not aware of this yet.... Even MORE significant events taking place in February - TONIGHT, in particular: (Excerpt below taken from sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEmono/TLE2008Feb21/TLE2008Feb21.htmlA total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the night of Wednesday, February 20/21, 2008. The entire event is visible from South America and most of North America (on Feb. 20) as well as Western Europe, Africa, and western Asia (on Feb. 21). During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dark gray.
An eclipse of the Moon can only take place at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow. The shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped parts, one nested inside the other. The outer shadow or penumbra is a zone where Earth blocks some (but not all) of the Sun's rays. In contrast, the inner shadow or umbra is a region where Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reaching the Moon.
If only part of the Moon passes through the umbra, a partial eclipse is seen. However, if the entire Moon passes through the umbral shadow, then a total eclipse of the Moon occurs. For more information on how, what, why, where and when of lunar eclipses, see the special web page lunar eclipses for beginners.Rather freaky stuff, huh?

Yep, the eclipse. It's happening right here at the moment. Can't see it though, it's cloudy.
And regarding the PF track, I'm well aware of that vocal part. It's the studio night-watchman apparently. The other voices on the track are those of George Best, the legendary drinker and erstwhile soccer star and Linda McC is the female, I think.
I always thought it was a reference to the theory that there is no light in space!

We had cloudy skies where I was too, so any glasses or viewers to see the eclipse were useless. I went over to a small park nearby. It has trees surrounding it, a trail loop, and a large grassy area with a picnic area, playground, basketball court, and softball field. Anyway, what I saw is the daytime turning dusk-like and crickets came out and started chirping, then it got lighter and things reverted back.
