EXTRACT FROM THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE
THE book which is herewith presented to the public has few contemporaries of a like nature; it deserves special attention inasmuch as it is illuminated by the name Albert Einstein, and deals with a personality whose achievements mark a turning-point in the development of science.
Every investigator, who enlarges our vision by some permanent discovery, becomes a milestone on the road to knowledge, and great would be the array of those who have defined the stages of the long avenue of research. One might endeavour, then, to decide to whom mankind owes the greater debt, to Euclid or to Archimedes, to Plato or to Aristotle, to Descartes or to Pascal, to Lagrange or to Gauss, to Kepler or to Copernicus. One would have to investigate—as far as this is possible—in how far each outstanding personality was in advance of his time, whether some contemporary might not have had the equal good fortune to stumble on the same discovery, and whether, indeed, the time had not come when it must inevitably have been revealed. If we then further selected only those who saw far beyond their own age into the inimitable future of knowledge, this great number of celebrities would be considerably diminished. We should glance away from the milestones, and fix our gaze on the larger signs that denote the lines of demarcation of the sciences, and among them we should find the name of Albert Einstein. We may find it necessary to proceed to a still more rigorous classification; Science, herself, may rearrange her [Pg v] chronological table later, and reckon the time at which Einstein's doctrine first appeared as the beginning of an important era.
This would in itself justify—nay, render imperative—the writing of a book about Einstein. But this need has alread
Meet Usher Collaborator Pheelz, The Nigerian Producer & Singer Who Wants You To 'Pheelz Good'
Pheelz

After working with Usher on two tracks for his latest album, 'Coming Home,' Lagos' Pheelz is looking inward. His new EP, 'Pheelz Good II' drops May 10 and promises to be an embrace of the artist's unabashed self.

If you were online during the summer of 2022, chances are you’ve heard Pheelz’s viral hit single "Finesse." The swanky Afro-fusion track (featuring fellow Nigerian artist Bnxn) ushered in a world of crossover success for Pheelz, who began his career as a producer for the likes of Omah Lay, Davido, and Fireboy DML.
Born Phillip Kayode Moses, Pheelz’s religious upbringing in Lagos state contributed to his development as a musician. He manned the choir at his father’s church while actively working on his solo music. Those solo efforts garnered praise from his peers and music executives, culminating in Pheelz's debut EP in 2021. Hear Me Out saw Pheelz fully embrace his talent as a vocalist, songwriter, and producer.
"I feel important, like I’m just molding clay, and I have control over each decision," Pheelz tells GRAMMY.com about creating his own music.
2022 saw the release of the first two tapes in his Pheelz Good trilogy: Pheelz Good I and Pheelz Good (Triibe Tape), which was almost entirely self-produced. The 29-year-old's consistency has paid off: he produced and sang on Usher’s "Ruin," the lead single from his latest albumComing Home, and also produced the album's title track featuring Burna Boy. But Pheelz isn't only about racking up big-name collaborators; the self-proclaimed African rockstar's forthcoming projects will center on profound vulnerability and interpersonal honesty. First up: Pheelz Good II EP, out May 10, followed by a studio album in late summer.

Revisiting Wande Coal’s Evergreen Album, ‘Mushin 2 Mo’hits’
A timeless masterpiece
Written by Wonu Osikoya - 08.Jun.2022
When I was 13 years old, I fell in love with Wande Coal. Well, not literally. I was not in love with him, but his music catalogue which revealed a new world to me with each new listen. At the time, I had an older cousin who used to work at Mo’hits records at the early stages of his career so he gave me a physical copy of each album that was released under Mo’hits at the time, including the ‘Mushin 2 Mo’hits’ CD. I listened to the album on my way back home from his place that evening and remember being extremely impressed by the first few tracks. On my way back from school the following day, I gave the album another listen and I immediately knew this was something I was going to be listening to for a long while.
Soon, it became routine practice to spin his debut album ‘Mushin 2 Mo’hits.’ Car rides back home from school usually lasted longer than the journey to school, due to the rush hour traffic on Third Mainland Bridge but I never fretted. Car rides home were a time to dig deep into your favourite record. The rush hour traffic in Lagos made getting home at an early hour an impossibility, so I would sit at the back seat and listen to replays of my favourite songs on what I consider Wande Coal’s magnum opus.
As months would pass, my obsession with the album only thickened and I became so invested in the album. Soon enough, I decided that I needed to meet the mastermind behind the project — Wande Coal. This was not impossible as I come from a family of music heads and music industry job holders but how it was going to happen was what was lost on me at the time.
I had mentioned to my mum and my cousin who had been involved with Mo’Hits Records, at that time, that my 13th birthday wish was to meet Wande Coal. They both promised to make this happen but on the day of the event, there were man .
