Golden Ratio - Making a Math Metal Anthem - Numberphile

FULL SONG at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBgQPS...

Numberphile collaborates with Dave Brown and Professor Phil Moriarty to create a "math metal" or "math rock" song about Phi... Dave's excellent YouTube channel is: http://www.youtube.com/user/wwwboyina... (He did amazing work on this song for us - the least you can do is check out his other work!)

Professor Phil Moriarty is a physicist (and wannabe rocker) at the University of Nottingham. His blog about this song is at: http://periodicvideos.blogspot.co.uk/... (it has all the gory details)

i am so glad i watched this video. i had no idea there was so much embedded into the song. i thought it was a pretty cool song to start off. Very well done!

[SafetyPinis]

The song Lateralus by tool accomplishes something similar

[BlueRivaly]

But he is awesome, I recommend you to watch his channel

[somberamarath]

It is just me or do the numberphile guys seem to have an unlimited supply of packing paper?

[ilQuare]

He's a fucking genius!

[SforzandoFilms]

Beethoven approves :)

[SuperVenomNinja]

yes we get it, you're really unoriginal.

[Jin4er]

Yeah. They did a good job.

[reddragon9918]

Actually Tool have done similar things as well, not just After the Burial.

[ThatGamerGuyPerson]

Is this guy high or is he just really fucked

[Alfred Newman]

1:10 oh shit, that's a dude!

[axeaboutme7]

before i heard him say it i was going to say you should do something on "Pi: The Mercury God of Ininity" by After the Burial.
