Time lapse photograph of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, facade facing the garden, Maincy, France, 2021

When lit in the right way and photographed using a zoomlens with a very slow shutter speed, the facade facing the garden of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte (picture 1) seems to bear a striking resemblence to architect Louis Le Vau’s design for the so-called Envelope (picture 2) which was erected at the Chateau de Versailles between 1668 and 1670. This creation wrapped itself around an already existing and fairly modest hunting lodge build by Louis XIII decades earlier.
After Louis XIV had visited the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in 1661, the architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André Le Nôtre and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun, who had worked together on this large-scale project, were commissioned by the Sun King to rebuild and further extend his Chateau de Versailles. Their collaboration eventually became known as the Louis XIV style combining architecture, interior design and landscape design in one grandiose apotheosis: nature becoming architecture and archtecture incorporating nature.

As so often is the case with my work, this photograph wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the inspiring music of Jean Michel Jarre, - especially his 45 minute track “Waiting for Cousteau” - and Nils Frahm - in particular his brilliant live performance of “Says”.

🎬 PS: For a beautifully clear (and delightfully mind-bending!) explanation of what might have existed before the Big Bang, check out PBS Space Time’s fantastic episode, "What Happened Before the Big Bang?" hosted by astrophysicist Matt O’Dowd. Highly recommended as a thoughtful companion to this thread! 🌌🌀✨

A rare cosmic phenomenon called an #Einstein ring.

There are two galaxies, separated by a large distance. The foreground galaxy is at the center, while the background galaxy appears to be wrapped around the closer galaxy, forming a ring. 

The light from the more distant object is bent about a massive intermediate object because #spacetime, the fabric of the #Universe itself, is bent by mass, and therefore light travelling through #space and #time is bent as well.

In the centre is an elliptical galaxy, seen as an oval-shaped glow around a small bright core. Around this is wrapped a broad band of light, appearing like a spiral galaxy stretched and warped into a ring, with bright blue lines drawn through it where the spiral arms have been stretched into circles. A few distant objects are visible around the ring on a black background. Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, G. Mahler

1/2 Notes on #UAP Discussions : From the standpoint of #Physics #Interstellar travel via physical craft with reasonable transit times for both craft and passengers invokes a relativistic firewall involving craft mass and required energy densities at significant fractions of the speed of light.Advanced knowledge of #Spacetime dynamics and topologies are one way through that firewall. Two stages of development invoke what are locally or globally #Interdimensional technologies for warping-

Time lapse photograph of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, Maincy, France, 2021

Built between 1658 and 1661 for Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV, the château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. At Vaux-le-Vicomte, the architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André Le Nôtre and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on a large-scale project for the first time. Their collaboration marked the beginning of the Louis XIV style combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. The garden's pronounced visual axis is an example of this style.

When visitng the chateau last weekend it was turned into an enchanting and fairytale-like castle with thousands of sparkly and colorful lights. It is christmas festivities like these that add an excessive garishness or sentimentality to an already lavish but perfectly balanced piece of baroque architecture. This extra layer of extravagance enables one to get some idea of what it must have been like for people back in the day to lay eyes upon the chateau for the very first time during the festivities of its grand opening in 1661.

As so often is the case with my work, this photograph wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the inspiring music of Jean Michel Jarre, - especially his 45 minute track “Waiting for Cousteau” - and Nils Frahm - in particular his brilliant live performance of “Says”.

2/2…or #Spacetime if you prefer. Unfortunately they look different and possibly are from somewhere else. Also interestingly they seem to be becoming less and less reticent about demonstrating those performance capabilities to our latest detection technologies.At this point the evidence is hard to ignore. We probably don’t need a new accelerator. All of the challenges in this current situation encompass our inability to get over ourselves, literally.
