  • where were the boobs?

  • he came to my school :D

  • Mate, I love this, love the Carl Sagan samples and the Frank Drake rhyme

    Hope you don't mind but I put your video on my blog? (//astrobioloblog.wordpress)

    Nobody's likely to read it, but its there

  • You... are brilliant. You are a true inspiration for this generation. I'm sure whatever you do with life, it will be brilliant.

  • lol wierd rap but cool

  • it stuck in my head, and i'm waiting for the NASA press conference thinking about it, so thatnks for making and it's catchy, maybe today things will change

  • people like englishwanker make me ashamed to be english, I do have some sympathy for the poor fool as he obviously has some issues other than the small cranium, our blood runs red! there is only one race! the human race ;)

  • hey, awesome concept, i think that there are enough rappers all over the world talking about violence and drugs, it's nice to hear something with actual content once in a while, nicely done...

    oh, btw, thanks for taking our picture at the bar in faro the other day, i don't see how that wloud have worked if you hadn't helped us...

  • @xXxAngelsFuckxXx Cool no probs

    and congratulations

  • it was a pleasure to meet u in person here in portugal. keep going ;)

  • @caiocsnet1 Thanks, you too. Keep in touch ;)

  • My engineering lecturer told me that most of the aeronautical space shuttle stuff was pioneered by germans. They were years and years ahead of us in WW2

  • @danpayne118 decades even! There's a lot more to the iceberg than what's above the water line.

  • Genius. Man, you are one intelligent guy. Hope you are getting the the credit you deserve. I saw that you won some awards. Respect.

  • What an awesome find, I dont know how it was done without being lame, but you did it. Fucking sweeet.

  • yo jon, ur so sick, ignore all them hatez and keep doin ur thing, cuz i luv it, its sick and understandable for ppl like me to understand about astrobiology, i luv space and time and stuff like that so its alway good to hear from ppl like u, rap is move deep then anyone thought it was. also, meeting u in person was an honour, at some business place, and hearing u rap, UR AWSOME AND FK THEM HATEZ, and ur bars makes sense too, ty for makin this video. STAY BLESS and keep goin!!!

  • Interesting. At least this rap is worth something. :) Props!

    Love that you posted lyrics too. Awesome!

  • Interesting. At least this rap is worth something. :) Props!

  • this is better than lil wayne / drake so stfu this is underground

  • nice? song 

  • drake thinks he's cool because he can blow out smoke and understand rastafarians in his music videos? :)

  • I LOVE NICKI

  • i like this song!! and Drake looks so exotic^^?

  • Loveee hiss? Musiccc (: 

  • Love? it!!! 

  • Love it! Great job!

  • SIENCE RAP -COOL WAVE !

  • Where could I download this? this would be nice to have lol.

  • what if the doppler shift became so fast that the wavelengths of light overlapped like sound waves do in a sonic boom, i take it thats not possible?

  • @hfdpayner That is what would theoretically happen upon reaching the speed of light. Everything in front of you would be so heavily blueshifted that you would be able to see radiowaves as if they were visible wavelengths, while anything behind you would be so heavily red shifted, that gamma rays, microwaves, and other high energy frequencies would be visible as well. As you look to either side, you would see the effects blend to a point of ZERO time, where visible light is normal, but stationary

  • @maddcatone ok thanks for answering my question :)

  • It's probably been said before, but I think this song is awesome. Cool lyrics, nice beat. Keep up the good work and don't let douchebags in the comment section discourage you.

  • I just found out that oortkuiper name is the combined name of the oort cloud and that kuiper belt... maybe you derived the name from this... haha... oh well, I'm gonna do my research. haha.

  • yeah so cool man. Nerdz 4 life...

  • @TheEnglishwanker I have got three degrees; including a distinction at Masters level. With a comment like that; I reckon I am definitely more educated than you. There's no need to be racist; just go educate yourself!

  • @TheEnglishwanker PS. I think you chose the correct name for yourself; although you probably aren't even pure English - Check the History of your nation!!! I reckon you should just call yourself The Wanker! And if you are really pure English, perhaps you should call yourself 'The Inbred Wanker'!

    Enough said!

  • @TheEnglishwanker typical, racist, white retard! Go impregnate your mother, you waste of corporeal existence. Your nutrients would be better suited for a pill bug than the flail of an existence you call your life.

  • this is amazing i think, proper good job, nice to see some intellegent rap instead of the usual gangster stuff

  • yo big tune mate ;)

    science lesson earlier was big man

    thx 4 dat

    tunes are soundin arddd bro

    safe

    X-t

  • This guy performed at my school today, he was amazing

  • Razzz You Was At My School Earlia,

    Your Pretty Sick.(Y)

  • Coooool video, so well realised. Love it.

  • This song has so many awesome references, and I love the beats you used!

  • Great lyrics & video.

  • I met this guy at the Royal Society meeting as well, his performance was awesome :D I don't think most of the people in the audience had ever heard rap before, but it certainly went down well! I especially liked the 'better ask Frank Drake' bit ;)

  • I met this guy today in a serious astrobiology meeting at the Royal Society, London, UK. He performed in front of an audience with a Nobel Prize, many FRS, the Astronomer Royal and some hot shots that might, as well, receveid a Nobel Prize. He did GREAT!

    Congrats, Jon!!!

  • pitiaoo... esta bueno

  • Great stuff! Well done! :D

  • this cracked me up the first couple of times i watched it. by the third time though, i really appreciated the emotions and longing for answers being conveyed in the video.

  • word

  • saw this at Green Man festival. COOL

  • I love this joint ... "gangster rappers" are not the problem .. its the record labels, corporate endorsers, and of course the media. There are alot of conscious / progressive / intellectual rappers out here but they are not given the multi million dollar record deals, or international exposure.

    "FEAR" and "SEX" are the orders of the day ... atleast thats how I feel once I turn on the radio!!

  • gostei,ficou bom

  • Comment removed

  • Rock and roll dude good job!

  • this song seriously blew me away, incredible content man, keep it up!

  • Wow, this actualy goes about something!

  • This is awesome!!

  • cool

  • big up!

  • 50cent you are nothing,did learn something?

  • I'm a biology teacher and heve been digging around to build my hip hops for teaching and that's the most creative [astro]biological hip hop i ever seen.

  • Awesome :)

  • groovy man... Groovy

  • RETARDED ALEIN DANCE TIME!

    5:38

  • ? .

  • sick!

  • Do you think there are hoes and bitches on other planets?

    Leave that to T Pain or some other idiot.

  • Yeah this is what rap needs to do! Educate! Not talk about violence and money 5*

  • Agreed. LOL

  • Wow. Never seen such an intelligent rapper!

  • Despite your unfortunate nod to Creationists in the beginning, an outstanding rap!! You and Greydon Square show the greatness of which Rap is capable (Applause!).

  • I don't think it was a nod to creationists perse, he was just mentioning the nonscientific school of thought that people do have. And i agree, rap could be something great, educational as well. Learning is easier when things are done in song or rap form. This is by far my favorite rap ever, definitely moreso than mainstream shit.

  • sorry for responding to such an old comment btw hehe

  • damn boy, you fuckin killed thisss

  • fuck man this is a great track....

    plz make a dnb only version

  • Big things, good post.

  • this is really good

  • you rock

  • we look for aliens made up of matter as we know it, but how do we not know that they are walking on mars but made up of their own matter which we cannot see

  • Thats a really intriguing thought. Who says they have to be made up of matter though, maybe they are just a single consciousness, with no physical being. Fun stuff.

  • ya thanks! if you prove this theory, remember to give me props, cuz i wanna be in the science books too

  • Good point! I've also wondered about that.

  • My favorite bit starts at 3:50

  • mine 2

  • Also, it's important to mention that our definition of life on earth as most people consider it is rather limited. If you seriously ask yourself the question "What is life?" you might say it is a self replicating entity, in which case many minerals and crystals might be considered early forms of life because they "grow." Anyway, again awesome rap.

  • Man I don't even know how I found this video, but that was tight. At first I thought you were just going to throw down a few meaningless lines to make it sound "science-y," but that was sick you were working with the the facts. Anyway, I'm sure you've been keeping up on the buzz about the discoveries about the methane on Mars, it's the strongest evidence yet that life may actually exist currently on Mars! Imagine the scientific AND religious ramifications of that! Crazy.

  • on a scalle from 1- 10 taht was definiatly a 10 i like how you ended it VERY FUNNY haha ... i didnt think i could luagh so much not only that but i luaghed so hard [=

  • yo u killed that

    that was awsome

  • wow awesome rap

  • nice!

  • J! I love it man. I want to hear more!

  • if life arose spontaneously from some mix of electricity and primordial ooze, why did it only happen once millions of years ago? why has it not happened even once since the first time? or why have we not been able to reproduce the conditions that gave rise to life? we have all the raw materials, and the technology to reproduce primordial conditions. why won't it start breathing?

  • for one, it was billions of years ago, at least 2.5 billions years. And we have had some successes at recreating the ingredients for life, the most important being self-replicating proteins.

  • Because the conditions on Earth have changed since 2 billion years ago. And we can't reproduce those conditions because we don't know what they were exactly, we can only guess.

  • Life grew out of the environment and cannot be considered or defined in absence of it. It took about a billion years for the newly formed Earth to be suitable for life; which some say may not have begun here. Life is basically self-organised systems that internally adapt chemicals from their surroundings (Metabolism etc). Out of the 100s millions of species that the Earth has seen grow and expire,we only see relics of their existence (affect on the environment; fossils) or surviving descendents.

  • not entirely true...from a muslim point of view life is all created by god .

  • Fair enough.Science developed from people's attempts at understanding nature (the interactions of the Universe as it appears to us).Religions are also built upon people's attempts at understanding why things are the way they are.One who believes in God also believes that God created EVERYTHING that is and isn't alive.God is regarded as the most powerful.This would automatically mean that nature is part of God's work; and that science is just one way of understanding it. E.g. HOW instead of WHY.

  • true but most people beleive its god that created it all , just my point of view tough

  • rap sucks

  • Wow finally a rap song with no bitch or hoes.

  • not all rap songs talks about bitches and hoes. Main steam does but not most underground

  • u cant be more right

  • Nice work.

  • is this you? hah this is freaking awesome:P get a dj to remix this shit to some hardcore and throw in some physics LOL

  • that's stupid.

  • how many rap songs do you know that reference Frank Drake and Carl Sagan?

  • Great job!!!!!

  • British accent FTW :D

  • Intelligent rap a breath of fresh air... music is super great! Rap even greater.

    Great job!

  • this video is the best video i have seen in you tube:) its one of my fav.!

  • If Mozart was alive today, this is the kind of stuff he'd be doing (in addition to a lot of other stuff - like movie themes). Movie themes are the classical music of the future. I can't predict how durable hip-hop / rap will be. Most of the stuff is awful.

  • Daaannnnggg....you know to much..those government fools are after you bro...

    Awesome rap!

  • this guy has talent

  • dancing alien HAHAHA! awesome video! xD

  • This is a Great Video. You all should check out Vthov's music. Finally someone speakin some real shit. Search "Vthov Obama Inauguration Song" He makes great music.

  • Very cool, like the sampling of Hawking and Sagan.

  • Fantastic!

  • "What about Planet X? We better leave that alone." - haha.. nice!

  • Finally, a STEPHEN HAWKING SAMPLE in a hip-hop song!!

    Now that's some creative shit.

  • Super dope. Great lyrics.

    The dancing alien did it for me.

  • wow amazing video I will sub anyone if you sub me just drop me a quick message in the youtube mail

  • Good shit

  • I like it. Definitely something worth listening to!

  • Astrobiology gold right there.

    Sorry, this is off-topic but I made a video called "One World...",watch it if your interested and tell me what you think.

    Trying to make a difference...

  • Intelligent Rap. Nice.

  • OK, good idea....

    The thing with rap is that fish and chips just doesn't sound as good as gin and juice.

    Sorry, I had to break it to you like that....but someone had to say it.

  • Just excellent...

    5 stars

    Dig

  • Finally rap that can be considered art...

  • Damn your eyes are narrow..

  • awesome vid! nice job

  • did you put this video together yourself?

  • Kickass! Nice Job.

  • Awesome. Inspiring and awesome.

  • cool dude, how much more smarter this is than rapin about blowin "mothereffin niggas heads off yo and shit" for reasons i don't really wanna know. and pls, no ofence with the "niggas" it's just something i overhear when exposed to rap tracks.

  • Ignore the trolls. I actually thought the concept for the song refreshing. I wish more rap artists used more broad topics for there songs.

  • Good job! I teach an astrobiology class, and I will be sure to show this to my students :-)

  • WOW, I rap song with actual substance. I am so tired of TI telling me he is going to hit me in my mouth and P.Diddy telling me to eat at Burger King. This guy could go places if he did all the right things. Great song, and BTW coolness isnt very cool at all. Grow up nazi and fix the plumbing in your trailer home.

  • man this is jus plain dope!!!!! can u make a dnb version usin the same beat at the end

  • Check out klz3 website and checkout spacescale movie, talk about feelin small!!!

  • outstanding x people now thinking

    10/10 x

  • Fuckin awesome mate. I got here through Phil Plaits blog. The skeptical/scientific community needs youthful vibrant and hip things like this. Nice to see some REAL SCIENCE in hiphop. To long have we/they feasted on tired old psudo scientific raps inspired by the likes of von daniken & Hoagland & the esoteric cosmology of nuwahbians & 'right knowledge '. Keep up the good work man i hope to see more of the same.

  • Korrektes Video!!!

  • LSD MOTHERFUCKERS

    they call it acid for a reason

  • very creative. good job

  • that shit was trippin me out

  • I love it... will not be aired on MTV for lack of insipidity

  • I think this is the same emcee that appears on The Diplomats' CD "Diplomatic Immunity Part 2" His voice is the same anyway. This is a dope educational peice he did right here but dude goes hard on the Dipset's CD. I love hip hop!

  • Sorry man, that's not me on the CD.

    Stay locked for later this year tho!

  • Great job!

    Wish more rappers would drop lyrics about the cosmos and its depth instead of the cliched money, clout, and gangsta bs.

  • check out canibus

  • According to astrobiologist Guillermo Gonzalez, 90% of the stars in the universe are smaller than our sun. Check out his book "The Privileged Planet".

  • .......Ummm no

  • some stars are even bigger the sun....

  • weird but cool

  • CoolnesslsHistory - Racist Piece Of Shit

  • LOVELY work! I'd love to see more songs in a vein similar to this. great job. :D

  • how about no, spammer?

  • This is so cool. I would love to see more. Don't stop writing and showing what you have to offer. Smart and cool.

  • nice!!

  • Great video, thanks for posting. I hope this is the new trend, cause when MC's read books, we all benefit.

  • Intelligent Rap. Nice!!!

  • i normally dislike hip hop... great work!!

  • Nice

  • Love the Rap! BTW, don't know whether or not those piloting the UFOs are aliens, Wanako', but I've seen one up close and personal for an extended period in broad daylight with a couple dozen others including to AF jet pilots . . . and we all watched it disappear right in front of our eyes. Don't know what your definition of "real" is . . . and don't know if it was an "alien" craft I saw, either. But as far as I and everyone else knows, it was real. Anyway: kewl rap!

  • this is so terrible it's wonderful. thank you.

  • YOU KNOW WHAT'S AMAZING? This video. Also, that non-racist people don't have to worry about racist people because in this-and sure to only be increasingly globalized world they're a ticking time bomb. Plus extremists are too expensive for gov'ts. Being open minded, intelligent & not judging people by the tint of their skin never hurt anyone. Stupid, racist people on the other hand...So no worries people. Just keep being the better, happier, people you all are.

  • Aliens are not real...but this song was dope!

  • Perfect beautiful voice!
