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.

Respuesta :

Credit people who have inspired the authors.

The first excerpt credits Albert Einstein and John A. Wheeler for the work they've done that has lead to the author's conclusions. The second excerpt credits Thelonious Monk. Both of these excerpts credit others for their inspiration. The other options are incorrect. There is no mention of music in the first excerpt which eliminates options A and B. Option C is also wrong because they do not make any predictions about mankind.
