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

Personally as a man of faith, I find science absolutely fascinating and revel in its revelations. Nothing said in this video offends me at all... it inspires and exhilarates me. Feynman and Sagan may have been atheists... but they were *my* kind of atheists and I have total respect for the way they put forward their arguments and passions.

[IPRODANLIKAN3]

Some men just want to watch the world learn!

[SinTheOriginal1]

Really don't care for religion or god fascinating mythology and history but otherwise functionless and detrimental to the pursuit of truth and beauty in life

[SpookyJohnathan]

You may be a man of faith, but you're my kind of man of faith.

[Joseph Le May]

These videos *move* me.

[garfieldmircea2006]

So my question was banal and dirty(why would you eaven presume this discussion would go that way)? Wow! That's an odd way of viewing the only way to progress. Oh and btw, there is no religion vs science war, it's only the ignorants whom refuse to accept this debate is long over.

[Nick Payne]

As to your last question... I didn't answer it simply because I don't want to tarnish this video with another banal and needless religion vs science flame war. I especially limited my engagement with you because of your comment in reply to me on the Babylon 5 video, which I thought unkind and extremely arrogant. However I shall simply say that I believe God is non linear and not subject to cause and effect... we as linear beings who only know cause & effect, naturally find that concept foreign

[Nick Payne]

I'm sorry you feel that way but I believe you are imagining and inferring a slight that doesn't exist & is certainly unintended. Several atheists have commented positively on what I put. There's more than one way to look at what I said regardless of conviction. I will say there is something wrong with *some* atheists... just like there is something wrong with *some* Christians. I like to live in hope that they remain or will become a dwindling minority for both groups,

[Nick Payne]

Yes, in life you are correct. I just recall reading something his wife said that upon his death he had not observed anything in his personal experience to convince him of the existence of God... that's what I was basing my suggestion he was an atheist on. Feynman was pretty clear though

[kindlygoblin]

I believe Sagan was a skeptic, not an atheist.

[fireball0074]

tell that to Marty McFly :)

Time travel to the past for anything bigger than a photon is impossible.
