Supernova Rap

Life and Death in a Binary Star System.

Written and performed by Bay Area high school students for the 2008 BCCP Cosmology Workshop.

Imagine 6 days of learning about the entire history of the universe, from its inception 13.7 billion years ago, to the stages of cosmic evolution; matter and antimatter; the electromagnetic spectrum; dark matter and dark energy; General and Special Relativity; neutrino astrophysics; and nuclear radioactive decay.

Then you have to sort through this dense volume of information and write a script about one of these concepts in 2 days. No rehearsal. No pre-production. One hour to shoot the video on the last day of the workshop.
