Spike Lee is an American film producer and director. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia and attended Morehouse College in Atlanta and the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where he received his Master of Fine Arts degree in film production. He is one of the most prominent and outspoken filmmakers at work in America during the late 20th century. Crooklyn was his seventh feature film. His previous film, 'Malcolm X' produced in 1992 starring Denzel Washington became an international cultural event. Spike Lee's first feature, 'She's Gotta Have It' was one of the revelations of the 1986 Cannes Film Festival and firmly established him as the leader of a new wave of African-American filmmakers. With subsequent projects, Spike Lee continued to challenge audiences with controversial, thought-provoking social issues. His films, 'School Daze' in 1988, 'Do The Right Thing' in 1989, ' Mo'Better Blues' in 1990 and 'Jungle Fever' in 1991 all bear the imprint of a pace-setting stylist whose works have stirred up both public debate and deep personal feelings.

Spike Lee has also produced and directed music videos for such world-renowned artists as Miles Davis, Tracy Chapman, Branford Marsalis, Anita Baker, Public Enemy and Bruce Hornsby. Other music videos include work for Gangstarr and Naughty by Nature as well as the video for Arrested Development taken from the Malcolm X soundtrack. Lee's first television commercials were made in 1988 for Nike's Air Jordan. In them, Spike Lee appears as the character Mars Blackmon from She's Gotta Have It on the court with all universe Michael Jordan.

NEBULAR HYPOTHESIS

The Nebular Hypothesis is an hypothesis that the Solar System evolved from a nebula. Emanuel Swedenborg and Immanuel Kant both put forward explanations of this kind, but Pierre Laplace was the first to develop a nebular hypothesis on strictly scientific lines. Laplace's hypothesis was that rotating nebulae were first formed by the condensation of gaseous matter, and that the Sun was originally a nebula of this type. As the nebula continued to shrink, it rotated faster and faster, until fragments broke away from the main body of the Sun. These fragments condensed under their own gravitational attraction and formed the planets. Laplace's hypothesis is untenable, as it fails to explain the fact that nearly all the angular momentum of the Solar System resides in the planets. The tidal hypothesis of James Jeans, that the planets were formed from material torn out of the Sun by the close approach of a passing star, is also untenable, as the ejected material would disperse into space. Modern theories offer no unique solution, but agree that the Sun and planets condensed simultaneously from a rotating cloud of gas and dust.
