Strange Charm: A Song about Quarks

[rockstar111111222333]

Awsome it is epic

[joeygoku1]

You know you're a REAL nerd if you knew this before watching the video.

[StylesSwag4ever]

i was in the grove but at :33 it had to load and i sighed and ughed at the same time and i craked myslef up :P

[williambeckettttt]

I showed this to his guy I know who is learning about quarks at university and he said it summarises three hours of lectures

[cakebomb77]

This was in my head in science today, and we were doing water movement or something

i wasn't paying much attention, I learn most science off youtube

[Sophied4545]

I love how I'm actually able to use a Vlogbrothers video to study for an upcoming science test. This is why I love Youtube.

[LiviaXilvia]

I've had this stuck in my head for 8 hours because I couldn't remember "Unless something's amiss" and therefore that line kept repeating in my head trying to find what was wrong

[cjprowe5]

i learn a new thing everyday here it is...

[antijelly]

Up down top bottom strange charm.. awesome...

[IhaveWoodforSheep]

Of course, in some of the older literature, you would have Up, Down, Strange, Charm, Truth and Beauty.

[Beutifyllik]

But facebook have marked dft.ba as unsafe. Is there anything someone can do with that?

[reidrules45]

I saw a figurine of the fifth Doctor. I love Docot Who...

[TribuneWayrocket]

@reidrules45 I kind of thought that it was Spike from Cowboy BeBop.

[polyxenophile]

My geology teacher was talking about quarks in class, and I was totally singing this in my head. Then I heard her say "I'm veering off into a completely different branch of science now, but if you want to learn more about quarks look up the Vlogbrothers on youtube." and I died from shock and happiness. I now like geology class eighty times more than I did before. (OMG Light Bulb Moment! You should totally make a song about Volcanic eruptions and other natural things that go BOOM!!!!!!)

[awesomeDJisme]

lol He forgot the apostrophe in "something's"

[NawnExistent]

I'd like to see Hank do a cover of the Element Song =D

[QuestionCuriosity]

sciencegasm + musicgasm = love <3

[awesomeDJisme]

He sings this with more energy live...

[gamemasterzoomzoomom]

I finish Physics friday. I have a B+ but want an A. For every youtube I show my teacher about science I get 5 points Extra Credit. Thank you Nerdfighteria! :D

[chocoflover]

Im out of breath from singing and replaying and singing and replaying. such a good song

[BeccyMalfoy]

I used this song to answer a question in knowledge bowl.

[GeniusPivot]

Today in my Physical Science class, my teacher told us we would be studying atoms

Me: Are we gonna study quarks?

Teacher: Quarks? YES! Oh, how does it go...'top down strange charm' or...

Me: Up down strange charm top bottom?

Teacher: Yeah, that's it!

Me: O o O *flailing arms out of excitement*

Awesome moment.

[Corerrai]

My friend keeps saying 1962.

[CaileighLikes]

0:10 *cough* Just making myself another replay button *cough* Don't mind me 0:-)

[superlo1122]

just think scientist are finding out more things to make this even more complicated right now.

science is so cool.

[cj9pro]

Should be on The Big Bang Theory...

[SaffyTheGeek]

I showed this to my Physics class, it helped us learn A2 physics, so thank you Hank - although my chemistry partner wants to kill me/you due to singing this song all the time :D

[1PKPRO]

LOOOOL

[koolkidpaige]

Best revision method ever.

[xHSV1887x]

Hank Green: dominating little known scientific phenomenon, songs about

[ChelseamayAinsworth]

my physics teacher showed this to us in class and now the darn tune gets stuck in my head >_<

man I love science.

[Vaysm]

I 404'd and... I'm scarred for life o.o

[TheHotsaucekiller]

Does anyone by any chance have a playlist of all Vlogbrothers songs

[ratbecca18]

Hank, you should definitely start a band called Camillo and the Golgi Bodies and your first single should be "My Protein Coat"

[fredypok]

my astronomy teacher showed us this while talking about quantum mechanics...hes awesome x3....he relates lots of stuff

[ninajtacoman]

why am I playing this song in 3 different tabs? I can't hear anything... at least the song is good

[ninajtacoman]

Um... is this the tenth time i'm listening to this?

[ZoeyNight1]

Amazing video :D. I'm from Brazil and that video helped me a lot when I was preparing a presentation about quarks to my physics classes, THANKS!! (:

[MsRakkatakka]

I kept watching this video since it first came out, today on Physics class we were studying about quarks. I was really proud when I was the only one who knew what a quark is and all the types.

[MrZAIZEAH]

a piece of art .... it got my lips to my ears ..simply wonderful and at the same time educational

[NinjaJohno]

one day i promise to use this in school and if on the last day of year 12 i still havent i will stand up and sing it

[paraplegicgiraffe]

I watched the scariest thing ever, and I thought I was gonna have nightmares all night. After listening to this, my terrors are gone.

[Julika7]

Weird having a link in the description that leads to this very selfsame video. o.O

[QceanWeaver]

I love this song, but I have to point out a few incorrect facts in presents.

1. "Observed in 1968 through deep elastic scatter"

Actually, it was observed through deep INelastic scatter. Elastic scatter is, in fact, the exact opposite of inelastic scatter. There is no such thing as "deep elastic scatter".

2. "...they make up everything that we see and that we know exists."

What about dark matter? We cannot see it directly, but it certainly constitutes the majority of the universe's known mass.

[MashaSobaka]

@QceanWeaver ...when did Dark Matter become more than a theory? (In the layman's sense, of course, not the scientific sense.)

[QceanWeaver]

@MashaSobaka Dark matter is no more a theory than quarks. It can be observed through the optical lensing of light around galaxy collisions, and is estimated to make up 83% of the universe's matter. Scientists have been aware of this "missing mass" as early as 1933.

[MashaSobaka]

@QceanWeaver Interesting...I hang out with quite a few physicists and astronomers and a lot of them aren't convinced. But then I must frequently remind myself that scientists disagree just as often as humanists do.

[QceanWeaver]

@MashaSobaka I have yet to meet an astrophysicist that does not believe in dark matter. Certainly, there are many theories and questions as to what subatomic particles makes up dark matter, but the question as to if it existing or not has never been an issue.

[QceanWeaver]

@QceanWeaver Bah, *exists

Silly YouTube, why won't you let me edit my grammar mistakes?

[MashaSobaka]

@QceanWeaver I'm at Berkeley. There are definitely a few who are not convinced. But like I said, I'm sure there are arguments everywhere.

[QceanWeaver]

@MashaSobaka I am also attending a university, and as an astrophysics minor, in all of the ASTR classes I have taken as-of-yet, dark matter is taught as a fact rather than a theory. I am curious; do you know which professors teach else-wise?

[MashaSobaka]

@QceanWeaver Sent you a private message so as to stop clogging up the comments page. :)

[TheBlackIris229]

I just realized I have been watching the vlogbrother :o oh my glob

[TheWarnerSister]

This song has gotten me through so much. Every time I'm anxious - which is very often, lately - I start singing the chorus of this. It's oddly comforting :D

[chickenpoodle009]

My science teacher said that protons were solid and I wanted to scream

[chocoflover]

I played this for my science teacher. She loved it but wouldn't show it to the class because it says damn.

[mititzi]

I am working on memorizing this song... it's kind of difficult, but I still love it.

[kylelittle93]

It took me a while to figure out that up, down, strange, charm, top and bottom are all types of Quarks. The chorus now make far more sense.

[DoamnaDeCorbii]

OMG it's in my head. AARRGH

[italianbambina01]

I feel so smart now :D

[NinjaTrixxr]

Am I the only one who covers my ears at the sound of eminem, but is rockin' out to this song?

[YoshiFan501]

@NinjaTrixxr nope.

[NinjaTrixxr]

@YoshiFan501 For a while now I thought I was completely insane. Now... actually that made no difference.

[fedelede2]

@hokuplemdro I so much agree

[hokuplemdro]

YouTube HighSchool. someone should make that happen. I would love to learn through YouTube :)

[gottalovedamon]

@hokuplemdro You should watch SciShow then. It's Hanks science channel :)

[tapqueen100]

Today in physics, my teacher mentioned quarks. I squealed and my entire class stared at me. Then I started to sing. Best day ever.

[unwindingxsilence]

@tapqueen100 this.. pretty much happened to me today. i was falling asleep until i heard him say "up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom." i was awake for the rest of the class doodling these words on my notes.

[DrBob66]

@tapqueen100 My physics teacher showed us this in class; that's how i discovered Hank and became a Nerdfighter :D DFTBA!

[jokernu1fan]

@tapqueen100 SO MUCH WIN!!!!!! ^_^

[matprithellodave]

@tapqueen100 Weirdo.

[gibsonguru101]

who dislikes this



[grizelda1986]

My only problem with this song is that it's NOT LONG ENOUGH!! Luckily every format I have of this song is able to be looped infinitely.

[fridasalli]

Having a test about quarks in an hour or so. I'll pass thanks to Hank.

[rowanandaurora]

@fridasalli Hope it went well!

[PurpleFire531]

SOOO CLOSE! I can almost sing the whole thing! But, not since, unlike, apparently, Hank, I cannot go without breathing for two minutes, while singing :) Nice Job!

[entertater2]

Hi Hank. I've had this song stuck in my head all day:) bye:)

[RichtoffenRoach]

So fucking catchy

[Hazelnut0066]

This is amazing. How did a video of my friend eating cereal lead me here...?

[CalJorvik]

@Hazelnut0066 Welcome to Nerdfighteria, my friend.

[971redhead]

@Hazelnut0066 ...why were you watching a video of your teacher eating cereal?

[darthmatrix101]

@Hazelnut0066 Cereal is made up of quarks :D

[KoriryuVEX]

@darthmatrix101 WIN!

[jmaster1324]

@Hazelnut0066 but aint you glad cause this is awesome

[MadameLuna17]

@GstarTrotsky umm..... why would you shoot yourself? That's not healthy to think about..

[GstarTrotsky]

...time to shoot myself.

[chocmint101]

in school we were learning about atoms and then quarks came up and I said the first 2 verses word for word as my answer and the teacher looked at me like "How the hell do you know this? We JUST started studying this!"

[plushalligator]

@daggerheart03 in case you arent already a nerdfighter, we welcome you, young grasshopper

[RosePetalsFalling]

Love this song!

[bibliophileplatypus]

I like his taste in literature!

[iamadultboss]

showed this today in my physics class...the students didn't get it, but the teacher loved it :)

[moonlady3000]

I'm pretty sure this is Hank's best song so far. Even including Video Game Books.

[meowkatzz]

This is my favorite song! ;____;

[nikiforova17]

I don't want to be a super nerd, but I would like to point out that there are some particles that aren't composite so the are not made up of quarks, such as electrons or photons...............

[xPolarGamingx]

@nikiforova17 dem be some bosons and leptons

[3sLabsProd]

@nikiforova17 he also said leptons and bosons

[pokemonmaster181818]

I sang this in Chemistry last year... I sort of ruined it...

[daggerheart03]

I just want to say, fucking EPIC

I officially love you.

[dyslexicdreamer]

@daggerheart03 Welcome to nerdfighteria.

[daggerheart03]

@dyslexicdreamer ! <3 Thank you :3

[LinkShack]

What is that video style called?

[tomol6]

@LinkShack Kinetic Typography

[LinkShack]

@tomol6 Thank you!

[CoolPplEatDoughnuts]

@TheOwety We've just started doing fundamental particles in physics (I'm in Y12) and I'm pretty confident that if I learn this song off by heart then I'll know almost everything I need to know about quarks :)

[AbrielMcPierce]

You hope that I enjoyed it? well I did. A lot. Shared and liked and all kinds of fun stuff :D

[TheEndOfIgnorance1]

i agree! DNA song plox!

[SuperGhadeer1]

Make a song about DNA!!! I have a test coming up...

[StormValleyStables]

Is anyone else waiting for the day a teacher asks "anyone know what a quark is?" and they can burst into this song?

[xCherrymistx]

@StormValleyStables my teacher did, and i wanted to...but i was too shy :( but i was the only one who knew what they were!

[RoloFilms]

@StormValleyStables I wish I was still in school for this exact reason... Oh how I'd wish YouTube existed like 3 years earlier... :P

[CraftyMinerSss]

@StormValleyStables already happened XD

[TheTTTTC]

@StormValleyStables Actually, have.

[OwlCityFan26]

I want to show my science teacher this! :D

But...I go to a Christian school, and the giraffe sex link at the end would not be good :(

DFTBA.

[3ONCEUPONATIME3]

I was really excited to send this video to my IB Physics teacher...until I realized that there's a picture and link to the giraffe sex video at the end...

[sarahedwards2]

This is very educational! I showed this video to my dad, who's a civil engineer. He even has the silver ring on his right pinky finger!

[Storm13Cloud]

It is so easy to tell that you listen to TMBG a lot XD

[abc123blahquackers]

Thanks for the picture of giraffe sex at the end. Went to go show my parents that YouTube can be educational... Uhg.

[abbygoboom]

Hank and John are the new Schoolhouse Rock.

[NonsenseEncoder101]

Ah! Kind of off-topic but I noticed in the top-right corner... "Catch-22"... I'ts weird because I'm currently reading that book and have it sitting right next to me now xD

DFTBA~ :-j

[Christianteen77]

@NonsenseEncoder101 if you've looked it up on youtube or searched it on the web

on your google acount

then you'll get a related ad

like i looked up a album once and since then have ONLY GOTTEN THAT ADVERTISEMENT 

[TheOwety]

This song is probably solely responsible for me passing the first module of my physics a-level....

[MeAndMyKitties]

I am going to sing this at my school in front of everybody thumbs up would be liked i really like and i want my whole school to look in awe

[physgeorge]

@MeAndMyKitties you are so insecure of yourself that you need verification from the internet? If you feel like it go and sing it, if not the dont. It is so dump to want "likes" for something that affects you directly...

[MeAndMyKitties]

@physgeorge no i just want to see how many people want me to do this

[thefight4god]

1:30 no unified theory to make this less confusing

wel... this song made me understand it

and i'm less confused now

thanks for helping me get a 92% on my midterm :D

[Rixtm27]

That was beautiful.

[eewEinsteineew]

It is very strange how I now realize that this song is not completely correct.

[littlemissmoony13]

I learn more about physics from you than from my physics teacher.

[bluewisdomtriforce]

Can someone define "elastic scatter" for me? Please.

[Daphuhnuh]

Why can't I download this song?

[fluffandstuf]

i'm beginning to realize i learn more outside of school than i do in it

[CatsRute04]

@fluffandstuf No worries. I've been doing that for years. :)

[SuperNinjaoncrack]

@fluffandstuf Hahaha I learned that When I was 9 and read my first 450 page physics book

[ziggypwner]

@fluffandstuf You always learn more when you're awake

[pokemon095]

This song is so catchy that I forgot there was food in my mouth. -DFTBA

[geekyclaire]

Hank, can you be my chem teacher. 6th bell would be so much more interesting!

[thing2liv]

I love the animation. Is there a video with just the song so i can listen to this on repeat?

[budgetfilms1492]

@thing2liv Why yes there is here's a link to just the song youtube.com/watch?v=Vsb2UKyxwQ­c&feature=youtu.be

[rachpfeiffer]

i am the geekiest geek in my school and i love this song

[KatieM7fan3]

@rachpfeiffer wrong thats me! :) I knew what a quark was before this awesome song. Well sort-of Actually i knew they made up protons and neutrons but thats it. :)

[ComplexSimplethings]

Does anybody have a towel? There's a red smudge on the dislike bar.

[Juurai]

My friend showed this to our science class!!

[JAMBO4358]

Is it just me the shortening service isn't working for?

[DracoEstPotestas]

some guy that some guy my brother knows was asked in class ''does anyone know what atoms are made of?'' he answered with this song. his teacher did the nerdfighter greeting and said ''DFTBA'' ^-^

[skatinanwaitin]

@DracoEstPotestas That's awesome!

[GOODGODWAT]

HANK! i want to sing this song in class, is there any chance that you could give us the instrumental version????

[LeahPleah]

My chemistry teacher has a Quark chart in the chem room. It's so perfect.

[sporemania]

We watched that vid in our phyisic lesson today :)

[AshKetchum442]

I'm reading Parallel Worlds right now, and this song makes me so happy now that I learned a bit more about quarks!

[alexandre1129]

Particle Physics exam in about 12 hours time...

[noosaho]

"they make up everything that we can see and that we know exists" except for Nerdfighters. We are made purely out of awesome.

[MrDarksideJim]

@noosaho Awesome is made of quarks!!!!

[ChibiCthulluWillRule]

@noosaho Are you sure we aren't just made of awesome quarks?

[3sLabsProd]

@noosaho you are not made out of electrons. then you don't have a brain. haha.

[WhyLimeTime]

@noosaho

Ah, but quarks make awesome.

They're beyond awesome

[BronzeAnkh]

@noosaho The elusive seventh quark type!

[pinkypreston]

This video is on the physics page of the website for my college!!! I almost burst with excitement when I saw it there!!! :D :D <3 x

[TheAnimeartist2244]

I used most of these lyrics in a power point for school :)

[OptimusSkiver]

Watching Scishow made me want to revisit this music video. Still just as awesome.

[zoemew]

100 people don't have quarks and feel left out.

[TheAnimeartist2244]

@zoemew EVERYBODY HAS QUARKS! They just don't know what they are. (When I said they I meant the people who disliked this video)

[zoemew]

@TheAnimeartist2244 They're special beings that don't have quarks. They feel like Voldemort.

[VeryCupboardy]

awww. I clicked on this thinking it was about the bar -_-

[CatsRute04]

IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)­

[NoelleArias]

I showed my science teacher this when we were studying quarks, and now he's a nredfighter!

[93hickey]

this is my study for a particle physics test
