Песня в лучших традициях Лема
"Алан Маршер, как сообщает The Great Beyond, блог журнала Nature, не только занимается астрономией, но также сочиняет и исполняет песни, в том числе о науке. В его песне "Сверхсветовой любовник" (Superluminal Lover), активность блазаров уподобляется человеческой страсти":
"Superluminal Lover" by Cosmos II (September 2007 version; © 2007 by Alan Marscher)
1. Attracted by your gravity, your body's so compact
Pulling me inward, prepare for close contact
No strength to resist, spinning out of control
Falling toward the abyss, approaching the black hole
2. Full of twisting magnetism, feeling hot inside
Bursting forth with energy, ready for a high-speed ride
Acceleration growing, focusing my beam
The jet starts flowing, plasma shoots downstream
Drawing closer . . . faster . . . closer . . . faster . . . closer . . . faster . . .
Poloidal field! . . . Magnetic whip! . . . EJECTION!!!
Chorus:
I'm your superluminal lover, baby, emission beamed into the night
Check out my relativistic jet, my love's faster than the speed of light
I'm flashing as a blazar into your line of sight
Hop on my relativistic jet, let's go faster than the speed of light!
3. Don't mind the illusions, it's just relativity
Pardon the intrusions into your naked singularity
Enjoy the time dilation, relax and take it slow
Beam your radiation, make our central engines glow
4. I've got eyes like a quasar, with brilliant intensity
Detect my hot desire for you with your high sensitivity
I'll energize you with my shock wave, make you turbulent inside
The magnetic attraction just can't be denied
Drawing closer . . . faster . . . closer . . . faster . . .
