Symphony of Science - 'We Are All Connected' (ft. Sagan, Feynman, deGrasse Tyson & Bill Nye)

MP3 available at http://www.symphonyofscience.com.

"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

This brings a tear to my eye. Mostly because i feel priveleged that i'm free of religion and superstitious thinking and science is so fucking beautiful.

[UFTGaming]

It's not religion, it's people. Imagine a world with a higher intelligence quotient.

[ligitmuffin]

I agree, hopefully I'll be able to see that day within my lifetime.

[pstar2241]

Religion is only beautiful if you cherry pick all the nice and comforting bits and pieces but if you consider it as a whole it quickly becomes very ugly and counter productive to society. Science is not always beautiful either, mind you.

[mrxyo]

Im a christian and I think in the same as you. Pax.

[Modulus1578]

The universe is beautiful without any of those things though. Even without science, it's still fucking beautiful. The beauty is only enhanced because of religion and science... And make no mistake, the universe is made more beautiful by religion, just as it is by science... Only, perhaps, to a lesser degree ultimately.

[EldenOmega]

It's easy if you try.

No hell below us.

Above us only sky.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[pstar2241]

and I wish more religious people were like you nick...

[fireball0074]

when I can time travel , I'm going to go back and kiss Carl Sagan right on the lips .. of course I don't know what the outcome will be when I return to the present , but it's a chance I'm willing to take :)

[fireball0074]

good man! exactly :)
