Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, everybody. I hope you’re all having a good one and celebrating the inherent beauty of our diversity. And I’ve got news for you — if you think you were created better than anyone else, you weren’t. “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’” “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Amen to that, Martin. And, hypothetically, let’s say yours truly somebody else had a couple kids that were hatched green and scaly. They’re still cool, right? (I swear I trained them not to eat people) HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY! Youtube Thanks to favelaj, who has a recurring dream about space monsters (stop eating right before bed).

Oh man, I love David Attenborough. And I know a certain lil girl who loves Jane Goodall. And now they’re BOTH featured in the latest Symphony of Science, ‘The Unbroken Thread’. This is a good one. Especially Jane Goodall’s part when she says, “there isn’t a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom — it’s a very wuzzy line — it’s a very wuzzy line — and it’s getting wuzzy-er all the time time time time time time time . That part gave me the shivers. In my timbers. YAAARR!! Symphony of Science Thanks to Kelly C., whose beats remain the freshest.

In the third installment of the Symphony of Science series comes ‘Our Place In The Cosmos’, a quartet of interplanetary song by Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Michio Kaku and Robert Jastrow. This is definitely the “Barry White” song of the series so far, and there is no doubt in my mind you could make out with a legally blind woman to it. Also, do you think it’s just a coincidence the video is 4:20 long OR IS THE UNIVERSE TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING? Pack the bong, STAT. I’m coming, God! Symphony of Science Project and Youtube Thanks to Jonathan and Kelly C., who once sang into a telescope thinking it was a giant mic.

This is the second song/video in the Symphony of Science series, a project designed by John Boswell to spit scientific knowledge in an auto-tuned musical format. The first chart topper was ‘ A Glorious Dawn ‘ with Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking . Now Carl is back with backup singers Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Feynman and Bill Nye, and let me tell you — these beats are FREEEEEESH. “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. Again, another job well done. Really made me want to blast off in my rocketship and crash into a planet . And by that I mean drop a bunch of acid and listen to these guys talk about outerspace while I roll around on the carpet. The Symphony of Science Thanks to Lookaze, Austin, Marc, crispy85 and eelee, who travel across the country singing to children about possible careers in science but mostly just getting high in the tour bus. Need groupies?
