The Moolakaprithi Cube  (as opposed to Rubik's Moola Cube ) —

"The key to these connections lies in a 3 x 3 x 3 cube, which 
in Vedic Physics, forms the Moolaprakriti, a key component of
the Substratum, the invisible black hole form of matter."

"Robert Towne, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of a number of acclaimed movies, including the classic 1974 noir thriller 'Chinatown' starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway, has died. He was 89 years old.

The news was confirmed by Towne’s publicist Carri McClure, who said he died on Monday 'peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family.' No cause of death was provided.

Towne won the Academy Award for best original screenplay for 'Chinatown,' which last month celebrated 50 years since being released."

“The Big Nothing” Presents . . .

''The Big Nothing'' presents an engraved invitation to Klein's ''Void,'' which I gather is now a very expensive and rare commodity. Klein would no doubt have appreciated this twist of commercial fortune. The invitation is presented alongside various photographs and ephemera from Andy Warhol's similar exhibition at the institute in 1965, which also had nothing in it except a mob of fans jamming the opening. Ms. Schaffner calls Warhol ''the Elvis of nothing,'' writing that his work, in ''an era of compliant consumer culture,'' was like ''a mirror facing a vacuum.'' Warhol appears in another photograph in the show, posing in 1985 beside a pedestal with nothing on it, a work he titled ''Invisible Sculpture.''
