Symphony of Science – We Are All Connected (ft. Sagan, Feynman, deGrasse Tyson & Bill Nye)
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 and the Powers of 10.

Lyrics:
[deGrasse Tyson] We are all connected;
To each other, biologically
To the earth, chemically
To the rest of the universe atomically [Feynman] I think nature’s imagination
Is so much greater than man’s
She’s never going to let us relax [Sagan] We live in an in-between universe
Where things change all right
But according to patterns, rules,
Or as we call them, laws of nature [Nye] I’m this guy standing on a planet
Really I’m just a speck
Compared with a star, the planet is just another speck
To think about all of this
To think about the vast emptiness of space
There’s billions and billions of stars
Billions and billions of specks [Sagan] The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it
But the way those atoms are put together
The cosmos is also within us
We’re made of star stuff
We are a way for the cosmos to know itselfAcross the sea of space
The stars are other suns
We have traveled this way before
And there is much to be learnedI find it elevating and exhilarating
[deGrasse Tyson] I know that the molecules in my body are traceable
To discover that we live in a universe
Which permits the evolution of molecular machines
As intricate and subtle as we
To phenomena in the cosmos
That makes me want to grab people in the street
And say, have you heard this??(Richard Feynman on hand drums and chanting)
[Feynman] There’s this tremendous mess
Of waves all over in space
Which is the light bouncing around the room
And going from one thing to the otherAnd it’s all really there
But you gotta stop and think about it
About the complexity to really get the pleasure
And it’s all really there
The inconceivable nature of nature
I love this song! Please make more. this is a great way to get people interested in science and expose them to some of the more popular and easier to understand intellectuals.
I dug it too… dug it the most. at 1st i was like i duuuuunno. bye the end, it had me 😉
There are so many people I know who say that we are all connected. Now, I can refer them to this wonderful presentation that you have created. It's ingenious! Thank you!
