Read the excerpt from “Death by Black Hole.”

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, published in 1916, provides the insight to understand the bizarre structure of space and time in a high-gravity environment. Later research by the American physicist John A. Wheeler, and others, helped to formulate a vocabulary as well as the mathematical tools to describe and predict what a black hole will do to its surroundings.

Read the excerpt from “Man Listening to Disc.”

And I bow deeply to Thelonious Monk
for figuring out a way
to motorize—or whatever—his huge piano
so he could be with us today.

These excerpts are similar because both texts
show a connection between math and music.
reference musicians the narrators admire.
make predictions about the future of mankind.
credit people who have inspired the authors.



Answer :

Answer:

The excerpts from "Man Listening to Disc" and the text about Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity and black holes share several similarities:

1. Connection between math and music: Both texts highlight the relationship between mathematical concepts and musical ideas. Einstein's theory of relativity is linked to the structure of space and time, while Thelonious Monk's music is described in terms of its mathematical precision.

2. Reference to admired musicians: Both texts mention renowned musicians, Thelonious Monk and unspecified musicians inspired by Einstein's theory.

3. Predictions about the future: The text on Einstein's theory implies that understanding black holes can reveal insights about the universe's future. Similarly, the excerpt from "Man Listening to Disc" may be suggesting that music can predict or shape the future of mankind.

4. Credit to inspirations: Both texts acknowledge the influence of pioneering figures, Einstein and Monk, who have inspired new ideas and perspectives.

By drawing parallels between math, music, and the work of visionary individuals, these texts highlight the interconnectedness of human creativity and innovation.
