Saat kamu melihat video pembuatan video klip 'The Catalyst', kamu akan melihat sebuah catatan dari Joe Hahn yang digunakan sebagai "titik fokus" saat mereka membuat video klip itu. Joe Hahn mengatakan bahwa video klip ini terinspirasi dari reaksi J. Robert Oppenheimer saat melihat letusan nuklir pertama di dunia, yaitu di New Mexico.
A THOUSAND SUNS.
A TREATMENT FOR WARNER BROTHERS RECORDS BY JOE HAHN
The inspiration for this video comes from J. Robert Oppenheimer's reaction to the world's first nuclear explosion in New Mexico.
In an effort to verbalize what was then indescribable, he quoted a passage from the Bhagavad Gita, the classic Vedic text:
"If the radiance of a thousands suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One. I am mighty, world-destroying Time"
When an atom splits it releases other neutrons, and he was quick to realize that under the right conditions those neutrons could go on to split other atoms in a chain reaction.
This would lead to one of two things: a steady generation of energy in the form of heat or a huge explosion.
If each splitting atom caused one released neutron to split another atom, the chain reaction was said to be "critical" and would create a steady release of that energy.
But if each fission event released two, three, or more neutrons that went on to split other atoms, the chain reaction was deemed "super critical" and would rapidly cascade into an almost instantaneous, massive, explosive release of energy.
My goal with this video is to encapsulate the sentiment of the next LINKIN PARK album and our new direction; we will not perform in (undecipherable....) ... in videos of the past.
This video will show the power of the singular vs. the power of the multitude. The Intention of splitting an atom was to generate nuclear fission. Inspired by the power of a single atom splitting can emit the power of a thousand suns. The beauty of destruction.
We will show this graphically by distorting images playing between high resolution and low resolution. We will break down pictures to metamorphosize a recognizable form into beautiful imagery.
We live in a world of technology. The advancement of man has allowed us to live in luxury. The flipside is that the more laced that everything has a consequence.
