The nerdiest catchiest song of the day so far

Thu Sep 8, 2011 7:24 PM EDT

"...twelve particles of matter, four forces of nature..."

AHHH!!! Get out of my head!

seeing how the United States is lagging behind in Math and Science, I guess we need to get educated anyway we can. I learned the parts of a brain thanks to Pinky and Brain. brought to you by Brain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li5nMsXg1Lk

cerebellum left, cerebellum right, brain stem, brain stem....

A. Eaglelady, as always awesome ;-)

B. Will is this song done by the Gregory Brother's (and wife) or someone else?

I did think of something along the lines of "Auto-Tune the News Meets They Might Be Giants Science Videos."

The Symphony of Science is a musical project of John D Boswell.

Personally, I like this better than Auto-Tune, which sounds tinny to me. (Plus, I'm so sick of the use of Auto-Tune in everything these days.)

so what are we really made of

tiny particles held together by invisible forces

look at all that empty space between the electrons and nucleus. what's in there?

nothing's really as it seems

so strange and bizarre

nothing is certain. it's a world of probability

Doesn't everyone think this way?

quantum foam. and every imagineable alternate universe you could imagine.

Even one where Bush was elected in 2000.

I like this, but my ear isn't tuned to techno. Subtitles would be oh-so nice.

Btw, good memory, rams9: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkwCynNm18c

Texts for all "Symphony of Science" videos are posted on the Symphony of Science website, as are fill lists of the individuals seen in the videos (which are cleverly edited from existing documentaries and Web videos).

Oh, dear! Space! I sort of have a problem with that whole concept. Whether it's the gap(?) between fundamental particles or the universe between galaxies. I'm not so much concerned with something being in it, but, what it is. I admit that I don't get out much, so, if there is a concept of space out there in the astrophysicist or quantum-physicist world, I have never heard it. Can someone direct me to an answer? Maybe, the concept of space being something that everything else is in is an incorrect idea. But, I don't know, because, I've never heard it referred to as anything else.

Rick Perry and his friends can pray till they turn blue. We're still going to have "the ultimate triumph of science"! Love that line.

Grrr Rachel now its stuck in my head, really a neat song / video. Heres something to twist your thoughts, what is making that thought sticking in your head? A bunch of tiny particles jiggling around in your head :)
