Little Willie John (ur. 15 listopada 1937, zm. 26 maja 1968) – amerykański piosenkarz rockowy, przedstawiciel gatunków rytm and blues i soul. Choć John nie zdobył nigdy popularności na miarę Sama Cooke, Clyde McPhattera czy Jamesa Brown zaliczany jest do najwybitniejszych przedstawicieli swego gatunku. John charakteryzował się bardzo silnym, plastycznym i obejmującym niespotykaną skalę głosem, który kontrastował z jego niewielką posturą. Posiadał zaledwie 161 cm wzrostu. Od tego faktu pochodził także jego przydomek little – mały. W osiągnięciu statusu gwiazdy na miarę swego talentu przeszkodziło mu jego gwałtowne usposobienie. Johna można wręcz uznać za prekursora współczesnych rapujących gangsterów. John zwykł nosić przy sobie noże i broń palną oraz manifestować agresję. W czasie jednego z incydentów poważnie zranił nożem swojego oponenta i został skazany na długoletnie odosobnienie. Zmarł w więzieniu na zapalenie płuc. Do największych przebojów artysty należą Need Your Love So Bad, Suffering with the Blues, Fever, Let Them Talk i Sleep.

W 1996 Little Willie John został pośmiertnie wprowadzony do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame[1].

Ehrenfest paradox

Paradox in special relativity The Ehrenfest paradox concerns the rotation of a rigid disc in the theory of relativity. In its original 1909 formulation as presented by Paul Ehrenfest in relation to the concept of Born rigidity within special relativity,[1] it discusses an ideally rigid cylinder that is made to rotate about its axis of symmetry.[2] The radius R as seen in the laboratory frame is always perpendicular to its motion and should therefore be equal to its value R0 wh...
