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:

Richard Feynman - Fun to Imagine
BBC Visions of the Future - the Quantum Revolution
Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman
Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking
Brian Cox TED Talk
BBC What Time is it
BBC Wonders of the Universe
BBC Horizon - What Is Reality

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're the reason our country is behind in math and science... thanks for that...

Troll status, confirmed.

So are you saying that every functional system is known to be an intended product of purpose? That hardly seems likely, or scientific to say the least.

[MrAwesome10001]

How exactly is matter order? You have to back up your statements.

How is the theory of everything Mind, or Conscious Intent or Intelligence? You're not backing up your statements again, and capitalizing things for no reason. Also, assuming that was correct; that's not a complete answer. The TOE describes how everything moves and interacts in the universe; it being Mind would not describe how anything moves. I can say the theory of gravity is Apple and it doesn't make any more sense.

[MrAwesome10001]

How exactly does that work? What exactly are the supernatural abilities of chance? Chance just means that something happens for no reason; I don't know what would be supernatural about something happening for no reason. What would be supernatural is something happening naturally for a specific reason or purpose; like a deity doing something. So now assuming things happen without purpose because we have no reason to believe that things happen for a purpose is unscientific and faith-based?

You came back from the dead to visit the internet? How wonderful.

[lughcious]

Belonging to a religion only means that you're primarily a believer rather than a thinker. Same for Atheists. Atheist beliefs in supernatural abilities of chance are entirely faith based and unscientific.

[lughcious]

Do you comprehend that matter consists of atoms, and atoms consist of mainly space?

[lughcious]

What about the laws of thermodynamics? Be specific.

Scientific evidence that we are products of conscious intent is in the fact that no functional system is known to be an unintended byproduct of chance.

Proof of God.
