  • Got my geek blood flowing again. It's a very simple formula but wish I knew what it refers to. I spent a semester of my PhD work at Imperial College where I was faced with this stuff all the time. Still can't make sense out of it. P has the dimension of length and c is the speed of light so I will assume it pertains to some of his Special Relativity work. Either that, or he is predicting the future boot-up time of the Profiler :) . Nice story, thanks.

    The forum was created so that Kemper owners can help each other, so in the spirit of that fact:


    The blackboard was part of a lecture Professor Einstein gave here, which was the second in the series.


    Unfortunately, another blackboard he used at the time was actually wiped clean by one of the universities staff.


    Presumably his job involved keeping the boards clean, ready for use in the next lectures the following day. Some bright spark's spirited this blackboard away, before he could get his blackboard rubber to it.


    You couldn’t make this stuff up, could you? However, it’s worth appreciating that what you observe on the preserved blackboard, is only a part of the equations he actually delivered on the occasion of that particular lecture. Additionally, that lecture was only a part of the overall series.



    “Its equations connect the age, density and size of the Universe.


    During the 1920s, the work of the astronomer Edwin Hubble (1889–1953) on red shifts had established that other galaxies were receding from our own.


    In combination with his own theories, Einstein was able to use Hubble’s observations to explain this apparent expansion of the Universe.


    The mathematical models were very complex, but at about this time, Einstein was developing a much simpler model in which troublesome factors were ignored. This is the subject that the blackboard records.



    In as far as I understand it.


    The equation is a simplified version of other, more fulsome equations of Professor Einstein’s.


    There was a large number of attendees at these lectures, over four hundred, with people standing at the back.


    Significantly, as well as the university dignitaries one would expect to attend a lecture given by someone of Professor Einstein’s reputation, the notable specialists in his field and the typical assortment of renowned academics, there was also a large number of “students.”


    In my experience, the greatest authorities in their field, have the capacity to some degree to tailor their lectures according to the level they perceive of the audience before them.


    Its not entirely clear that this was the case here at all, but is a possibility. However, I feel that its more likely that with a demanding tour of lectures and a tight schedule, the Professor used the simplified version, to avoid going down unwanted rabbit holes in question and answer sessions.


    According to Patrick Moore, Professor Einstein had an exceedingly charming personality indeed and I have heard some hilarious stories regarding things that happened during his stay here and during his tours. But as you will appreciate, I always attempt to keep my posts as short and concise as possible.


    None the less.


    Perhaps you enjoy the fact that Professor Einstein was rather tickled.


    Humorously enjoying the fact that during one of his lectures, the Dean of Christchurch College, who was sat in the front row, right in front of him as he delivered his scintillatingly interesting lecture...... Had fallen asleep!


    That’s a completely true story.

  • Have you by chance pulled the pickups to see what they are? I ask that because the first thing that caught my attention is the size of the pole pieces. The only pickups I have seen with pole pieces that big are from Tom Anderson. That may have some nice expensive pickups in it.

    I did see the bottom of the bridge pickup, as well as the control cavity. It's 100% stock.


    If they were Tom Andersons....I'd say someone got robbed because they are decidely 'meh'.

  • Thanks again. I don't believe I ever slept while in College. That luxury was for only the very smart and talented. I was too scared of having my limitations revealed to sleep. Although, I must admit that early in my career I delivered many a lecture that served as a sleep aid to others.

    Seeing the super small numbers makes me think of the INFLATION period (100% guess) ;) But that is off topic.


    2013 STRAT UPDATE

    I finally removed the plastic from my 2013 American Strat with SRV pickup upgrade. The bridge saddles were trash and were causing strings to rattle and vibrate weird. Luckily the ones from my $99 Bullet were 100x better and fit perfectly :)


    Oh and the reason I bought the American strat was because I burned the frets off my $99 bullet after years of heavy playing. Well the American strat is showing major signs of fret wear and barely has any play time on it at all. Like 100 hours tops.


    Every guitar I buy that is American made has major issues. But my cheapo guitars are perfect. Last time I ever buy an American Made Guitar. Only foreign pics from me in the future :P

  • What improvement did the pro upgrade provide?

    I may not have fully explored the general one, but looks like:

    More amps and effects

    A PC interface


    It seems to have more options for external use, says you can use it as an interface and for reamping, but not going to use that side of it.


    Basically I was bored and wanted a new toy...

  • Here's my new baby, Charvel Hendrik Danhage Signature ... perfect match for the SC1 8)

  • ..sort of...

    I ve never had a guitar with a Floyd Rose (I rarely use trem. Briges in general)

    As said before I was bored and l saw a Video of a boy who just received a Barbarian (SG zakk wyde version) Kit to build, so I've give a sight to this on line store, and I found this Mockingbird Kit never seen before.

    It's not so expencive.. I ve thought for a while.. than. Ok let's do it!


    It's different in many aspects but I hope it will be nice, the body wood figures doesn't look bad. 24 frets, radius "12, short scale, classic LP controls, black hardware.


    I'm just a bit scared of the glued neck and the Floyd itself (licensed) .. we'll see .. my wife said she wants to paint the rear of the headstock with a dinosaur drawing. I'll keep You posted. :)
