More Auto-Tuned Science Singing: ‘Our Place In The Cosmos’, Or, ‘The Middle Of Nowhere’

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.

Whaaat?: Sand People Like Scooby Snacks?

Whaaat?: Sand People Like Scooby Snacks?

In a mash-up of universes that’s about to make my head explode, it turns out Tusken Raiders love Scooby Snacks . And speaking of which — I’d like to see Scoob and the gang try pulling THAT dude’s mask off. Ruh-roh is right — you gonna die! Sand People like Scooby Snacks [tk8247's deviantart] Thanks to sham, who only tried Bantha fodder once and didn’t like it.

Another Auto-Tuned Science-y Song, Now With More Bill Nye The Science Guy!

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?

Interesting: Video Explaining The Big Bang

This is a video produced by Columbia University explaining the Big Bang in terms even a sped like myself can understand. I thought it was pretty interesting. Especially the notion that nothing, not even time , existed before the Big Bang. That blew my mind. Or should I say Big Banged my mind?! Blew? Okay. Big Bang animation, best demo of universe’s birth ever [dvice]
