"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!

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

  • 476 people need to relax, sit down on the beach in the sunset and bongo with Feynman, while Sagan rolls them up a doobie. Tyson is building a campfire to cook the fish Nye just caught, and Cox will be along in a bit with a couple scopes.

  • 1:11 is my favorite part it gives me goose bumps everytime

see all

  • I wouldn't mind a religion based on science.....wait, wasn't that scientology? Cosmos damn it. they just ruin everything.

  • @chuffmunky You have just described heaven

  • Feynman kind of sounds like Kermit the Frog. This is so beautiful.

  • this could stop all violence if people would just listen. every time we kill someone, we kill a brother or sister. we become killers within our own family. just think about that.

  • @ Chuffmunky: omg!!...That is totally hilarious...to think of all those scientists getting rid of their stuffiness to chillax. It's like thinking about the president going buff in front of the cameras for a state address.lol!! I like the man with the tie of the planets...nice tie! Brilliant series!! I Love it! ~*Brightest Blessings*~ @;}~

  • @DanM25456 You really should. So amazing!

  • This video made me study physics.

  • @caleron0

    There's only one dogma of science: the central dogma of protein synthesis.
