    What is the purpose of such video?
    Certainly not to catch attention of mass-produced american high school morons, as they won’t understand more than few words “sung” in this video anyways.

    Does demonstrate how science is difficult to present in Pop Culture terms. Course, its not either or. Read about the 12 particles and the 4 forces and ponder that. If the tune comes across your mind, nothing wrong with that. singing the tune without reading the books would be rather worthless though.

    Thats the nature of Pop Culture: no books.

    Yea, verily.

    Well, the use of Autotune makes it sound more appealing in a way. Just remembering Thermodynamics class back in college is enough to put me to sleep ;)

    Meh.

    Even in song listening to scientists blather on about things is still akin to listening to sports fans, car enthusiasts, philosophers drunk on wine and women cackling on about shoes.

    Tedious.

    Cursor.

    Understanding how the Universe works is as tedious as listening to sports fans?

    My, my, my, aren’t we special.

    What do you find “not tedious” cursor? I’m betting the only relevant evidence will be: “Running from direct questions.”

    the autotune gimmick is a failure and the commentary too difficult to follow otherwise i love the topic and visual presentation.

    Have to agree with Steve. Instead of “borrowing” and creating a mashup, why not compose it and actually find someone who knows how to sing perform it?

    Oh, because it’s some kid alone in his basement.

    We’re so damn close to breaking out of the old models, but then we find out there’s a reason why people who create music want to be paid: It’s harder than it looks.

    JFC, this music video makes me want to shoot myself in face with a shotgun 12,000 times.

    Think we could talk Big Sis Napolitano into declaring autotune as a terrorist WMD?

    U asked for a

    “Theory of Everything”

    And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (Col 1:17 NKJ)

    Its all a matrix in the infinite mind of God.

    You want to understand quantum mechanics?

    Read this book.

    I performed some of Capra’s experiments in college (peer reviewed, you understand). Quite enlightening :-)

    I liked the first version of this (the one with Nye, Sagan et al), thought it was innovative. This one, though, shows how quickly such an idea can go old hat.
    At least they revisited Feynman, which is about all I can say for it.

    (And what’s really bloopy is hearing yet ANOTHER synth/drum machine soundtrack using that same old tired Fmaj-Gmaj-Amin type progression. About as groovy as a tire commercial. No wonder so many folks say they can’t stand electronic music).
    (sigh)

    Ha!

    It’s the who’s who in “bought and paid for” consensus science “entertainers”

    ..sounds as phony as scientific snake oil they’ve been peddling all these years..

    irony..?

    #16 kerpow: Freeman had a traffic accident three or four years ago that rendered his hand paralyzed. He usually wears a compression glove to help with the nerve damage.

    As a student of physics, I found this video somewhat thin. And a bit of an insult to those of use who study science.

    The secrets of the universe are only accessible to those who wish to learn.
    That’s why I have read hundreds of books on the sciences.

    And have watched very, very few pop videos.

    It would be interesting IF they KNEW how the universe works.

    But like all the other groups mentioned in my list of tedious talkers, all that is presented is conjecture, speculation and opinion.

    Rather see a good play or listen to something from Vivaldi or Strauss.

    But hey maybe you enjoy the cacophony of caca?
    To each their own.

    Ignorance has been called bliss. For some people it appears to be a virtue.
