Mock Up on Mu

Mock Up on Mu is a 2008 science fiction film directed by San Francisco film artist Craig Baldwin, filmed by Bill Daniel, and edited by Sylvia Schedelbauer. It was filmed in 16 mm and runs for 110 minutes. Mock Up on Mu opened at the New York Film Festival in 2008. The film content is divided into 13 chapters that tell seemingly true tales about "American inner and outer space travel". It cobbles together old NASA footage, excerpts and trailers from various Hollywood films and TV series, home movies, and Baldwin's own dramatizations to weave a mythical farce that incorporates components of Scientology prehistory. Major characters interwoven into the film are the rocket scientist Jack Parsons (Kal Spelletich), his beatnik wife Marjorie Cameron (Michelle Silva) and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard (Damon Packard).

e caudata

The e caudata ("tailed e", from Latin: cauda "tail") is a modified form of the letter E that can be graphically represented as E with ogonek (ę) but has a distinct history of usage. It was used in Latin from as early as the ninth century to represent the vowel also written ae or æ or in old Gaelic texts from the 13th century to represent an ea ligature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_caudata

Hearing the shape of a drum

  • To hear the shape of a drum is to infer information about the shape of the drumhead from the sound it makes, i.e., from the list of overtones, via the use of mathematical theory. "Can One Hear the Shape of a Drum?" was the title of an article by Mark Kac in the American Mathematical Monthly in 1966, but the phrasing of the title is due to Lipman Bers. These questions can be traced back all the way to Hermann Weyl. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_the_shape_of_a_drum

Now trumps later every time

" ... If you were a betting man, you would understand that now trumps later every time. The future is a sucker's bet, a maybe, a contingency, a "What if?" The only thing that is real is the present ..."

- Raymond Reddington, from "The Blacklist" Season 3, Episode 6
