The Institute Of Physics is planning on using a track by a London rapper as part of its programme of events to celebrate the centenary of Einstein's e=mc2 discovery.
The track is by DJ Vader and is relevant because it utilises a quirky Einstein quote - "When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute - and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity."
The IoP stumbled on the track while surfing the internet for Einstein links. The organisation's Caitlin Watson explains: "We came across DJ Vader's track and thought it was brilliant - really fresh and different. We are making a computer game for Einstein Year and this track will feature on it."
Vader, who stumbled across the Einstein quote on a greetings card in a record shop, seems pleased to be associated with the scientific celebration: "I didn't really pick up on this at school. But stuff like light speed and time travelling are pretty cool. If my music helps get kids interested in learning then that makes me happy. I was naughty when I was at school - I was suspended 15 times and expelled once - but that is a bad waste of education".
