Simon David Manton White, FRS (born 30 September 1951) is a British astrophysicist. He is one of four directors at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics.
White studied Mathematics at Jesus College, Cambridge in the University of Cambridge (B.A. 1972) and Astronomy at the University of Toronto (M.Sc. 1974). In 1977 he obtained a doctorate in Astronomy under Donald Lynden-Bell entitled "The Clustering of Galaxies" at the University of Cambridge. After a few years at the University of California, Berkeley, the Steward Observatory of the University of Arizona and the University of Cambridge he was appointed in 1994 as a Scientific Member of the Max Planck Society and as Director of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching. White is also Research Professor at the University of Arizona (1992), Guest Professor at the University of Durham (1995) Honorary Professor at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich (1994) and at the Astronomical Observatories of Shanghai (SHAO) (1999) and Beijing (BAO) (2001). White lives in Munich with his wife, the astrophysicist Guinevere Kauffmann, and their son Jonathan.
White is an achromatic color, literally a "color without hue", that is a mixture of the frequencies of all the colors of the visible spectrum. It is one of the most common colors in nature, the color of sunlight, snow, milk, chalk, limestone and other common minerals. In many cultures white represents or signifies purity, innocence, and light, and is the symbolic opposite of black, or darkness. According to surveys in Europe and the United States, white is the color most often associated with perfection, the good, honesty, cleanliness, the beginning, the new, neutrality, and exactitude.
In ancient Egypt and ancient Rome, priestesses wore white as a symbol of purity, and Romans wore a white toga as a symbol of citizenship. In the Middle Ages and Renaissance a white unicorn symbolized chastity, and a white lamb sacrifice and purity; the widows of kings dressed in white rather than black as the color of mourning. It sometimes symbolizes royalty; it was the color of the French kings (black being the color of the queens) and of the monarchist movement after the French Revolution as well as of the movement called the White Russians (not to be confounded with Belarus, literally "White Russia") who fought the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War (1917-1922). Greek and Roman temples were faced with white marble, and beginning in the 18th century, with the advent of neoclassical architecture, white became the most common color of new churches, capitols and other government buildings, especially in the United States of America. It was also widely used in 20th century modern architecture as a symbol of modernity, simplicity and strength.

Simone White (born 1970) is an American singer-songwriter.
Simone White appeared in the 1984 comedy-drama "The Wild Life" written by Cameron Crowe and directed by Art Linson. Eddie Van Halen and Donn Landee composed the film's score.
White moved to NYC from London in 2000 where she began to play music onstage. She recorded her first album with producer David Domanich and musician and friend Frank Bango. White released the album, The Sincere Recording Company Presents, in 2003 on Bango's label The Sincere Recording Company. White's albums frequently include covers of songs originally recorded by Frank Bango. Such recordings include Roses Are Not Red, Wrong About You, Worm Was Wood and Bunny In A Bunnysuit.
I Am The Man, her second album, was recorded with producer Mark Nevers, (Lambchop/Calexico/Will Oldham/Silver Jews), in Nashville, Tennessee. In 2006 she was signed to the UK label Honest Jons. I Am The Man was released by Honest Jons/EMI in the UK, Japan, Italy and The Netherlands in 2007 and released in France, Germany and the United States in 2008 through distributors Indigo and Forced Exposure. The album was a favourite with critics from MOJO [“not just a pretty voice but a mesmerizing intelligence… a summer soundtrack of charm and beguiling depths” ****] and Q Magazine ["...a feel of the rarest kind." ****] to the Daily Mail [“a vibrant new talent”].

From Simone White's album, I Am The Man (Honest Jon's 2007) this is a video of my song 'the beep beep song' that is being featured in the Audi R8 ad right now in Europe. (you ask how in the heck did that happen? they heard the song and emailed me about it!) this video was shot three years ago at the Santa Monica pier, Santa Monica, California. Directed by my friend Linda Serbu. The budget was $30 (the cost of the fair rides). We made it in two days. Shot on a cheap digital stills camera and edited in imovie. the video babe is my musician and actor friend Ed Mattiuzzi (who is, incidentally, single.) and yes! this is the full length version of the beep beep song!

I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)
It wasn't what you said
It's knowin' what you mean
You wanna spread your wings and fly
where the moment takes you off
Tryin' hard to be , someone you ain't
It wasn't how you laughed
that taught me how to cry
Convincin' me your heart is
a million dreams away
Tryin' hard to be , someone you ain't
You came along when I was down
and found a place within me
All the love I ever had can not
replace the things you did
I'm still in love with you and
even though you're gone
I gotta try , gotta try ,
gotta try , gotta try
Someday I'm gonna win
and get back to your arms
And here am I alone
with a memory of you
Tryin' hard to be , someone I ain't
We held it in , we gave it out
There wasn't any quarter
All the pieces fell apart
It still ain't like it ought to be
I'm still in love with you
even though you're gone
I gotta try , gotta try ,
gotta try , gotta try
You came along when I was down
and found a place within me
All the love I ever had can not
replace the things you did
I'm still in love with you
even though you're gone
I gotta try , gotta try
gotta try , gotta try
We held it in , we gave it out
There wasn't any quarter
All the pieces fell apart
It still ain't like it ought to be
I'm still in love with you
even though you're gone
I gotta try , gotta try ,
