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

Science is neutral. Science gives people knowledge. Knowledge gives you power. You decide how to use the knowledge you are given. The things you talk about are not the fault of science. They are the fault or choices of the people themselves. You can't blame or condemn science for this. You can only blame yourself.

[Piper Alfie]

This has been a very long conversation just over one crack pot weirdo that obviously has no common sense and should, ironically, be more dependant on science than most as he should either be on medication or in a hospital bed. ( after being pummelled to near death ) unfortunate, as it would be waste of a hospital bed, but quite probable.

[Elmer Ramirez]

I wonder what would happen if we brought all these wonderful people together and gave them what they needed to solve problems!

Brian Cox. He's a celebrity physicist. As seen on PBS, BBC science, and QI, british comedy quiz show hosted by Stephen Fry.

[AxeOfKitty]

So many words... Can't keep up...

[MrBerrels]

Haha YouTube never ceases to amaze

[AccidentallyOPurpose]

And then think of how many lives are saved by science. You dont like science go live on the street, never see a doctor again or get any medicine, cos you only have that cos of science.

[regemo]

Wars and violence intensify when humans outgrow their territory and start crowding into other people and resources dwindle. States and governments arise naturally from that. Without science, we wouldn't have the ability of the average person to communicate with anyone else in the world. Communication is the only thing that will reduce natural violence between societies and cultures.

[Jonathan Jönsson]

People was killing people with stone tools aswell.. That is science:o You know that a punch in the face hurts more then a punch on the leg..Usually, this is also science. As soon as you have a thought and try it out, that is science.(Although unwritten one)

[ROBLOXobama1337]

Not to mention the life expectancy has almost doubled in the past few hundred years due solely to science. Idiot.
