Symphony of Science - the Quantum World!

mp3: http://bit.ly/oRYyiV A musical investigation into the nature of atoms and subatomic particles, the jiggly things that make up everything we see. Featuring Morgan Freeman, Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Brian Cox, Richard Feynman, and Frank Close.

"The Quantum World" is the eleventh installment in the ongoing Symphony of Science music video series. Materials used in the creation of this video are from:

Special thanks to everybody who's donated to keep the project alive and to those who helped track down the materials used in this video.

*Please note that dark matter and dark energy are considered to make up a majority of the universe, in addition to the 12 particles and 4 forces.

Lyrics:

[Morgan Freeman]
So, what are we really made of?
Dig deep inside the atom
and you'll find tiny particles
Held together by invisible forces

Everything is made up
Of tiny packets of energy
Born in cosmic furnaces

[Frank Close]
The atoms that we're made of have
Negatively charged electrons
Whirling around a big bulky nucleus

[Michio Kaku]
The Quantum Theory
Offers a very different explanation
Of our world

[Brian Cox]
The universe is made of
Twelve particles of matter
Four forces of nature

That's a wonderful and significant story

[Richard Feynman]
Suppose that little things
Behaved very differently
Than anything big

Nothing's really as it seems
It's so wonderfully different
Than anything big

The world is a dynamic mess
Of jiggling things
It's hard to believe

[Kaku]
The quantum theory
Is so strange and bizarre
Even Einstein couldn't get his head around it

[Cox]
In the quantum world
The world of particles
Nothing is certain
It's a world of probabilities

(refrain)

[Feynman]
It's very hard to imagine
All the crazy things
That things really are like

Electrons act like waves
No they don't exactly
They act like particles
No they don't exactly

[Stephen Hawking]
We need a theory of everything
Which is still just beyond our grasp
We need a theory of everything, perhaps
The ultimate triumph of science

(refrain)

[Feynman]
I gotta stop somewhere
I'll leave you something to imagine

You do realize that without science you wouldn't be able to post your ignorant ramblings? It's actually kind of hilarious to people commenting things like this, without even noticing that their actions are perpetuating the very things they seek to destroy. Though it's also kind of pathetic that people still have these sort of disagreements at all, why can't we all just be at peace? Feel free to believe whatever you believe, but don't shove your opinions down our throats please.

The entire Symphony of Science is freaking beautiful. I haven't listened to the same set of songs over and over so much in a long time. After hearing the songs, I have no idea how anyone doesn't want to be a scientist.

[Samuel Pellino]

This is the best thing ever

Nope, Im Human, Monkey

[Javier Duarte]

What song did they use or was it an original mix?

[wafflepiepancake]

Implying that you are not a "monkey" as well?

[tiqsmusic]

Well How else do I communicate with you monkeys, I have to speak the lingo.

[FireBomberBassist]

Typing this on a device that was made by science.

Thanks for Turkish subtitle. :)

Now why don't you go search up how many lives science has saved. We just found a cure to HIV i believe about 4 or 5 weeks ago.

your ignorance is 1/0
