"We Are All Connected" was made from sampling Carl Sagan's Cosmos, The History Channel's Universe series, Richard Feynman's 1983 interviews, Neil deGrasse Tyson's cosmic sermon, and Bill Nye's Eyes of Nye Series, plus added visuals from The Elegant Universe (NOVA), Stephen Hawking's Universe, Cosmos, the Powers of 10, and more. It is a tribute to great minds of science, intended to spread scientific knowledge and philosophy through the medium of music.
Check out "A Glorious Dawn" by Carl Sagan, another Symphony of Science project! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXG...

Lyrics:
[deGrasse Tyson] We are all connected; To each other, biologically To the earth, chemically To the rest of the universe atomically
[Feynman] I think nature's imagination Is so much greater than man's She's never going to let us relax
[Sagan] We live in an in-between universe Where things change all right But according to patterns, rules, Or as we call them, laws of nature
[Nye] I'm this guy standing on a planet Really I'm just a speck Compared with a star, the planet is just another speck To think about all of this To think about the vast emptiness of space There's billions and billions of stars Billions and billions of specks
[Sagan] The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it But the way those atoms are put together The cosmos is also within us We're made of star stuff We are a way for the cosmos to know itself
Across the sea of space The stars are other suns We have traveled this way before And there is much to be learned
I find it elevating and exhilarating To discover that we live in a universe Which permits the evolution of molecular machines As intricate and subtle as we
[deGrasse Tyson] I know that the molecules in my body are traceable To phenomena in the cosmos That makes me want to grab people in the street And say, have you heard this??
(Richard Feynman on hand drums and chanting)
[Feynman] There's this tremendous mess Of waves all over in space Which is the light bouncing around the room And going from one thing to the other
And it's all really there But you gotta stop and think about it About the complexity to really get the pleasure And it's all really there The inconceivable nature of nature

In July of 1994, the fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter. Exactly 15 years later, in July of 2009, there was another impact. Amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley captured the first image of the 2009 impact at his home observatory in Australia. Observatories such as the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility, Gemini North, Keck, and the Hubble Space Telescope quickly followed up on the discovery, taking astronomers back to those SL9 impact days in 1994.

"1994 (The Jupiter Impact of 2009)" (parody of Princes "1999") Parody lyrics by Kelly Fast
At the summit when I wrote this, forgive me but my head is sore. I feel I'm in a time warp, déjà vu, been here before. The irritated atmosphere is sporting a familiar bruise. As with Shoemaker-Levy 9 we know there is no time to lose.
Ju-pi-ter two thousand zero niner, never thought we'd see any more. But tonight there was an impact as in 1994!
Wesley caught post-impact, observatories rushed to see. IRTF, Gemini, Keck II and HST. Morphology and altitude, certainly an impact site. Spectroscopy and imaging, we'll rock that planet tonight!
Ju-pi-ter two thousand zero niner, never thought we'd see any more. But tonight there was an impact as in 1994!
Dynamics, photochemistry, there is so much to be learned. Twice in a lifetime, leave no asteroid or comet unturned. SL9 was crazy, makes this loner seem so serene. Still this is something that we wish Gene could have seen.
Ju-pi-ter two thousand zero niner, never thought we'd see any more. But tonight there was an impact as in 1994!
