The Sun Is A Mass of Incandescent Gas

[agmonkeycrazy]

My science teacher showed us this and we enjoyed it

[starman6444]

TMBG, anyone?

[iamanemma]

Sang this all year in 8th grade. Even got the whole class and the teacher to sing it. xD

[cjlaw100]

PRAISE THE SUN!!

[DeathMasque]

If only I could be so grossly incandescent...

[Blastergeek202]

@ rileyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy my science teacher made us listen to this.  This song is boss

[rileyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

My science teacher makes us listen to this-.-

[suckmysockmonster]

@rileyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

fuck you. fuck you. pay attention. science is fucking awesome.

[YouveBeenLaurified]

I freaking love this song.

[orange70383]

It's electro magnetic.

[hotmelomel]

Is anybody else's enjoyment impaired by the use of "it's" as a possessive in the slides? I mean, "Time4Learning"??

[HarryPotter202202]

Like if you sang along...because your science teacher taught it to you a few years ago. (Not because you found it on your own... that's absurd. Nerd? Pffft :))

[bluchismoon]

the sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma.... :) never heard this song in my life before.

[GasdPurch]

Why do the subtitles in this video use apostrophes to pluralize words?

[sonamylove457]

today my teacher showed us this in class and we have to memorize it EVEN THE PARTS WITHOUT THE MUSIC

[Me14986]

...I loved the day my physical science teacher showed us this.

[semyers2gailest0]

This is weird but SO catchy... a gigantic nuclear furnace... :) Thumbs up if you'll come into science singing this!

[eggplantsxox1]

27 people want the sun to explode in 2012

[KinSmallProductions]

Still use this at A2 physics and you said aluminum wrong and million come to that

Though tbh we mock it also its plasma not gas ¬_¬

[calapanpo]

@KinSmallProductions It's one of those American/British English differences.

[KinSmallProductions]

@calapanpo i know i was only joking.

and my latter point stands

though tbh its still a brilliant tune and should be used in classes more often spec at GCSE and primary

[wolfboy44410]

this thises has been rendered invalid

[missicecreamprincess]

Lol a person in my class named Aidan likes to sing this in a funny class during science/chemistry!

[451ianDragonist]

In fifth grade our teacher played this for us and said that it was the National Anthem of the Sun. In retrospect, I don't know why the sun's national anthem would say, "The sun is not a place where we could live..."

[sonamylove457]

@451ianDragonist i know right

[brittd573]

our teacher made us sing this in class haha it was funny

[ninny65]

PICKLESHOHO IS BACK

[mrlalley12]

This is a really cool video. My science teacher showed me it in first period and its been stuck in my head ever since then!!!!!!!!

[Agforever12]

We watched this in school and every one was singing this :)

[AndiePandie101]

@Agforever12

haha, same.

this is pretty much our class anthem now.

[Jessiegurl77]

He's describing Hank!

[JDobson1995]

physics teacher singing this to us, in an AS lesson

and thinking dear he was my form tutor

[hail27369]

in my economics class for some reason we each have to pick a song that everyone listens to at the beginning of class and my friend had us listen to this lol

[mbm41796]

screw you bieber this makes way more sense than you

[tr33tv]

I can't believe my university test answers are literally scattered throughout this video...

[FrozenFlamingIce]

lol I had to learn this in 6th grade, I'm in 8th almost 9th grade and STILL can't get it out of my head, NARG

[PistolOfShame]

Sorry but this video meant to teach us is wrong on several counts. Look up the song "why the sun really shines," which is more scientifically accurate.

[FrozenFlamingIce]

@PistolOfShame

well this song was written for the younger ages....do you really think they'd sit through something extremely boring?

[PistolOfShame]

@FrozenFlamingIce Why the Sun Really Shines is pretty much the same song, but slower and more scientifically accurate.

[nesagwa]

@FrozenFlamingIce This song was also written in the 60s. We've made some new discoveries and so some of the facts presented in this song are false. It's still a fun song.

[YourFaceWillDie468]

@FrozenFlamingIce But "Why Does The Sun Shine" isn't boring.

[MrFatkids4life]

I didnt hear this song at school, i heard it at scout camp every morning to wake up too

[Calhoun90]

Lol, why did Crailtap send me here?

[newtownlegends]

@Calhoun90

Everything leads to the sun.

[newtownlegends]

I'm gonna go ahead and be a hipster and say I knEw that song before I saw it at school. :) Cause I did.

[UglySheepproductions]

Can I get a like for Mr Perry

[profhojo74]

This guy sounds like George Takei

[dictionarytables]

I love this song!

[oliviapie90]

( sing this to the tune of the song) the sun is a mass of inconveint gases that blow up the earth!!!!! and when you use them incorrectly like neil armstrong didddddd it blows up the earth and it blows up you and meeee!!!!!

[ninameebas]

Goodness Sake. Stop Saying 'No its A Miasma of Incadescent Plasma'. WE ALL KNOW THAT. This Song Is old, So therefore it Is Incorrect. So Stop complaining

-_-'

[nellytheninkynonk]

Sorry. The sun is a miasma of incadescent plasma.

[chins4tw]

9th grade watched this

i said its plasma not gas

he showed the next song.....

[TazewellFire]

This is what they played on the speakers for us to wake up to at NYLT, camp cheif Logan



[Wave9413]

I've listened to this song over 50 times today...

[Kazisho]

>that feel when I actually learned something

[puppylover11396]

That thesis has been rendered invaliiiiiid!

[MandJshow101]

My teacher sang this song EVERY DAY!! One time i was talking in class and she made me sing it in front of the whole class!!

[ghost9431]

@RobloxFan110 me to but only a few months ago

[imrickjamesbitchas]

I remember hearing this in 3rd grade. Man that was so long ago...

[PercyJacksonluver7]

im in 8th grade and my scince teacher showed my class this  :)

[1softball1413]

Love it!!!!

[ruthlessx]

Thumbs up with Tom Clark sent you here

[smb50073]

why is it that that the cd i have has this as a rock version?

[LoverPuppy24]

We had to sing this song in 6th grade.

[KayRally123]

Hehe. I use Time4Learning, cause I'm homeschooled, and we play thais during science. Lol

[LMNOPecor]

@Nikkiscamful lol, totally the 23'rd today

[laok]

@RobloxFan110

you know its total bull the the sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma fun song though

[PervAccount]

@laok there is hydrogen and helium too

[ShadowOfTheSea]

@Nikkiscamful I'm blaming the sun

[PrettyCowsGoneWrong]

I love this song'''

yo ho its hot

the sun is not a place we could live

[Lawliet103]

The dun isn't a mass of incandescent gas.

[cpen22]

Heh. Let's just teach children wrong theories still because we made a cool song about it. That makes sense. Incandescent gas my....

[DisabledCarp23]

thank you

[mrme150]

@WyattR23

Actually the "rock version" is the original.

It's called "Why Does the Sun Shine?" it's written by They Might be Giants and is on their album "Severe Tire Damage" just FYI.

[WyattR23]

Wondermonkey98 my teacher found it too

[DisabledCarp23]

hey if any of you see this i'm looking for a boyfriend i'm 19 and my ph. is 445-3214

[heheyousuck100]

Two days to memorize? I hate this.

[wondermonkey98]

my teacher actually found a rock version of this song and it was awesome i cant find it though

[temqwerty]

@wondermonkey98 It's by They might Be Giants.

[bibblesbun]

@wondermonkey98

youtube.com/watch?v=Zbgul1NpEA­8&feature=related

[DonDudester]

i had to listen to this in science and i hated it, but then i couldnt get it out of my head , so i just had to listen to it again!

[soccermom4212]

aggghhh this is torturous. Well, it is after listening to it 25 times throughout science class. GO MR. WHITES!!!

[EverSoLouise]

*aluminium

[goldenmonkey330]

WE LISTENED TO THIS IN CLASS TODAY!! :)

i had it stuck in my head for the rest of the day!!

[rockingowl55]

@RobloxFan110 I WISH I WAS YOU! I sing it every day in science and the teacher gets so angry. And I am in physics.

[BuildItTutorials]

and yet it is a miasma of incandescent PLASMA

[ElJorro]

Actually the sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma

[zobothehobo]

I am 20 years old and I knew all of this when I came across this song a couple weeks ago browsing the internet for fun educational songs... It instantly became one of my favorites

[roeroe305]

im a junior at the university of florida and my astronomy instructor played this video 2 days ago

[iLoveYou97781]

this guy must be hitting puberty

[MrZionistjew]

This song would be good for a anti-obama song. Obama is a mass of indeciferable lies, in  gigantic world of a cess pool. where bankers come together and tell himhow to lie and destroy good honest homes. Weeee don't need the lies, we want money, we want u outa office. without obama without a doubt, the world woul be betterrrrrr. Horray Horray, BRAVO encore!!!

[jambyrwat]

@MrZionistjew No one cares about your political viewpoints.

[bobby44150]

my father was a college chemistry prof. he brought this album home in 1959,this was his early way for us to learn about the sciences!!

[iLoveYou97781]

awesum

[yxrcbszg]

I remeber this, I heard this on Nickelodeon Ka-Blam! Bring Back memories =)

[iLoveYou97781]

i need to show this to my science teacher!!

[czs5056]

No, The Sun is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma.

[jennlovesjed]

Thank you Mr F for showing us this! Actually LOVE this!

[SuperThatrandomdude]

I'm in 6th grade and I love this song. We learned this song like on Tuesday

[kathygolondon]

I learned this song when I was in 5th grade in 1982! Awesome!

[cody39ful]

It helps a lot!  you will get an A+ in scince! i did

[lyricsduck]

@cody39ful it doesnt motherfucker its only lying u fuckingn oob i got an f because of ur fucking comment plz get aids

[LucyHS123]

Can't explain how much this brightened up my physics lesson.

[SuperAwsomericky]

dude im in 6th grade and i love this song

[SummerSchappell]

My earth science teacher got this stuck in my head after 3 or 4 days playing it.

[OrangeMonkeyDog]

we are learning this song in science. we have to memorize it.

its soooooooo catchy! :D

[czerwonakaczka]

It seems that everyone has it on science xD

[DiaryOfATedlyKid]

21 people got burned by the sun.

[razielcameron1]

@RobloxFan110 lol my 9 year old daughter in 3rd grade saw the rock verson haha

[TheLdibb]

I heard this in science class today!!!!

[dondog12]

I love this song very much

[Harley033]

I think it is pretty lame when compared to They Might Be Giants version though

[lilmisskatiecoo]

@RobloxFan110

hahahaha i listened to it in science today :P

[lilmisskatiecoo]

omg we listend to this in sciece today!!!!

[95soccerchik]

OMG WE SANG THIS AT 6TH CAMP EVERY MORNING LOL GOOD TIMES

[gwydiot]

QDawg, only if you're demonically possessed by uneducated demons. English be a weird lingo. QDawg's dog's dish is possessed by QDawg's dog. but the dog has a bed of its own. It's (it is) very happy with it. 's is a possessive add-on in some instances (proper nouns) and a contraction in others. But for pronouns, possessive is: he / his, her / hers, it / its. now for an example i just made up that uses both, to confuse things: "Red's a color i admire, red's wavelengths are of flame and fire." OK?

[crazykid503]

:P

[gwydiot]

too bad when it says "we need it's light," etc., they add an incorrect apostrophe to the word "its" all 3 times. kind of detracts from the educational value a bit...

[QDawg139]

@gwydiot isn't "it's" the possesive form of the word?

[MsCountrygal98]

me and my bro love this song!!!!!

[tulleybeard]

We used to listen to this at home for fun...

[poniesarethebest]

no comment.

[ihollandful]

I remember learning this video in 6th grade.

[poniesarethebest]

@RobloxFan110 me too fml & my teacher sings along.

[seelder]

listen to the rock version

[Wolfs0127]

OMG!!!! THIS SONG IS SO ANNOYING BUT COOL!!!!!

[chaserulez01]

@RobloxFan110 me too!

[hieifan1]

we play this all the time in astronomy.

[jonnyjoe2000]

.... so random

[DaveMother]

my science teacher played this last year hahahaha she was a terrible teacher!

[Kwask12]

Except its not gas, its plasma.

[calapanpo]

@Kwask12 "why does the sun really shine" covers that.

"The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma"

[Rafters23]

@Kwask12 actually its gas

[Kwask12]

@Rafters23 No, the hydrogen is compressed so much that the temperature increases tremendously, which allows the electrons flow around, thus creating plasma.

[lively2it]

@Kwask12 IT'S  GAS

[megacheekygirl123]

this is really catchy!

[patrick12budge]

Best song ever

[ike65ep]

GREAT SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNN­NNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[ike65ep]

Great song



[nxtdiznystar373]

It sounds kinds like the dude who sang Your a mean on Mr grinch :O But I lovee this songg like we listened to it on repeat today in science and its just so freaken awesome ahaha !!!!

[blahblahblah7999]

@nxtdiznystar373 we sang this repeatedly in my science to XD of coarse the teacher wasnt very impressed.

[patrick12budge]

This songs hot

[jennlovesjed]

to the highest comment 'we did this in like year three' .... im in year eleven and we still sing it! xD we all sit and sing this song its legendary!! :')

[spiko496]

THE SUN IS FAR AWAY...

[PercyJacksonluver7]

OMG WE DID THIS FOR SCIENCE!!!! AND IM IN 8TH GRADE!!!

[TheSammo64]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS!

[theflyingcheeto]

BEST SONG EVER!

[gwxk]

That's me on clarinet. Yo ho it's hot !!

[Jesslayc]

Weird Al's Daughter Loooooves this song!!!!

[coolguy23ize]

brings bak 5th grade memories.rofl, our teacher almost made us sing this song with our little buddies

[YustynaK]

@coolguy23ize Our teacher actually did force us to sing it!! Like 4 times!!

[iheartemoboys41]

@YustynaK yeah! my teacher made us sing that at least 10 times all together in 6th grade! and then the next day we all asked if we could sing it again! lolz

[JrRoyals15]

brings back 8th grade astronomy memories... to bad this song haunts me!

[highguy2k10]

OH MY GOD..... WE DONE THIS IN A CLASS ASSEMBALY ABOUT 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS IN LIKE YEAR 3 !!! WOW I LOVE THIS SONG

[DisabledCarp23]

I know right it is so weard like all of you then, it keeps reapeting again and again!

[TABmusicIncorporated]

We listened to this in science... oh Mr. Gale.... only you could use this to teach teenagers....

[glrob1]

hello, not real song, real song is by They Might Be Giants, and such a better son in the REAL version.

[noone1981]

@glrob1 Nope, the original version of this song is from 1959.

[ryleigh1207]

At summer camp, we had to dance to it xD

[mbm41796]

i love science

[mattjarmyn]

i love my teacher this song is great

[GateMessenger]

Hmm, the Sun can be neither gas or plasma. All of you are wrong. Think about this logically. If the Sun were made of plasma, remember the plasma lamps, plasma is energy, and even hydrogen in a gaseous state is lighter than air. Now think, the ion wind coming from the Sun travels between 1 and 2 million miles per hour when it reaches the Earth's magnetosphere. Wouldn't hydrogen gas or plasma spew from the surface easily if this were so? Note the Sun's gravity is only 11 times that of Earth's.

[GateMessenger]

.. I remember reading that at extreme temperatures, over a million degrees, all elements break down into the simplest form, hydrogen. So the Sun could be made of iron, gold or whatever. But the extreme temperatures at the core could cause the material to break down into hydrogen. This is possibly why we detect mostly hydrogen with spectrograph readings because it is the only element which can escape the Sun's gravity. Is the Sun made of hydrogen or plasma? I say neither! Am I wrong?

[GateMessenger]

... more evidence. When you heat up steel what happens to the steel? Well at about 2750° F iron becomes molten and glows red. At that temperature in the dark steel becomes luminescent, radiates it's own light. So the Sun could be made of iron seeing that the surface temperature is over 9000° F, well over the melting point of steel. This fits observations. The Sun being made mostly of hydrogen does not fit solar wind observations. Gas may not escape 11g's but not million mile per hour winds too!

[GateMessenger]

.... more evidence. Einstein already admitted that hydrogen fuses into helium because of the extreme pressure and heat which gravity causes at the core. So we have the culprit for the heat=gravity. Gravity is an effect caused by mass no matter what the material. Gravity is the reason the material is luminescent, radiates light. It really doesn't matter what the Sun is made of as long as it keeps radiating light and heat. Keep going gravity.. whoo hoo.. lol.

[GateMessenger]

..... BTW, I don't think the Sun will burn itself out either because if gravity is creating the heat then it will never stop. As long as the Sun has gravity as it's source of heat it will radiate forever. There needs be no matter to energy conversion because the matter is not being converted. In a balanced equal universe because of gravity Einstein predicted the universe would eventually collapse in on itself. If gravity creates heat then this balanced system will inflate forever, see inflation.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

@GateMessenger Eh...no you kind of misunderstand the whole Idea. Gravity can't create Energy....the Gravity may help make the Sun a place where Nuclear Reactions can happen...but its the Nuke reaction that is causing the Energy....not the Gravity. Once the Nuclear Reactions are all burnt up, the Sun will die. to suggest the Energy comes from Gravity would also be counter to Conservation of Energy....Energy cannot be created...The energy already within the atoms CAN be released with Nuke reaction

[GateMessenger]

@frankensteinmoneymac But if you use gravity as the work force in the formula for thermodynamics then energy is not converted, its created. Gravity creates pressure, pressure makes heat. At the core of the sun there is extreme pressure & heat. If pressure is causing nuclear reactions what causes pressure? Gravity = pressure = heat = energy! According to thermodynamics heat is energy. Gravity then is creating energy by creating heat. Over unity occurs! This explains why the universe is inflating!

[GateMessenger]

.. If gravity were not creating energy then the universe would not be able to inflate. Note that the universe was found to be inflating, not from one point which the BB predicted but from every point in space which contains gravity. This inflation was not known when he theorized how the sun generated sustainable energy for so long. But if gravity is creating new energy then it explains why it is inflating from every point which contains gravity & implies the sun will never stop shining!

[GateMessenger]

.. If gravity were not creating energy then the universe would not be able to inflate. Note that the universe was found to be inflating, not from one point which the BB predicted but from every point in space which contains gravity. This inflation was not known when theorizing how the sun has generated energy for so long. But if gravity is creating new energy then it explains why the universe is inflating from every point that contains gravity now doesn't it? This is the mysterious dark energy.

[GateMessenger]

... If the law of conservation was correct then the universe would not be able to inflate & would have began to collapse by now from gravity. Observations show the universe to be inflating. The furthest galaxies are accelerating, some theoretically, faster than light. All from one point, our perspective! Without over unity this is not possible! The universe is inflating as an effect of gravity when it creates new energy. Slowly growing, inflating for an eternity, from every point of observation.

[GateMessenger]

... If the law of conservation was correct then the universe would not be able to inflate, OU, (over unity) & would have began to collapse by now from gravity. Observations show the universe to be inflating though. The furthest galaxies are accelerating, some theoretically, faster than light. All from one point, our perspective! Without over unity this is not possible! Is the universe inflating as an effect when energy is created, OU? Slowly inflating from every point that has gravity forever?

[shadowfireone]

@frankensteinmoneymac wow, you guys talk alot of science...even on youtube

[Lunarvx22]

@shadowfireone Because science is the greatest, most interesting subject there is.

[Spyrogirl95]

Well technically it's mostly plasma but I'll shut up and enjoy the song anyway. XD

[bigdawg1997]

What is the real name of the song I can't find it on itunes

[SmoothButNotRich1901]

His voice makes me so happy.
