Here are the lyrics for you sing-alongers out there:

Lyrics:

[Michael Shermer]
Science is the best tool ever devised
For understanding how the world works

[Jacob Bronowski]
Science is a very human form of knowledge
We are always at the brink of the known

[Carl Sagan]
Science is a collaborative enterprise
Spanning the generations
We remember those who prepared the way
Seeing for them also

[Neil deGrasse Tyson]
If you're scientifically literate,
The world looks very different to you
And that understanding empowers you

Refrain:
[Richard Dawkins]
There's real poetry in the real world
Science is the poetry of reality

[Sagan]
We can do science
And with it, we can improve our lives

[Jill Tarter]
The story of humans is the story of ideas
That shine light into dark corners

[Lawrence Krauss]
Scientists love mysteries
They love not knowing

[Richard Feynman]
I don't feel frightened by not knowing things
I think it's much more interesting

[Brian Greene]
There's a larger universal reality
of which we are all apart

[Stephen Hawking]
The further we probe into the universe
The more remarkable are the discoveries we make

[Carolyn Porco]
The quest for the truth, in and of itself,
Is a story that's filled with insights

(Refrain)

[Greene]
From our lonely point in the cosmos
We have through the power of thought
Been able to peer back to a brief moment
After the beginning of the universe

[PZ Myers]
I think that science changes the way your mind works
To think a little more deeply about things

[Dawkins]
Science replaces private predjudice
With publicly verifiable evidence

(Refrain)

Is this the roast? It's more like a vegetarian barbecue, complete with soy hot dogs. Or as blankfist calls them, "edible sex toys." That's not mayo, folks.

Sigh. This is lamer than Michael J. Fox shaking hands with Muhammad Ali while Stephen Hawking does the fox trot.

Hello, is this thing on?

These roasts are becoming so tired, I feel like I'm watching a Ben Stein documentary during a gas leak. Someone light a match and end this suffering.

I guess I should say something about Kulpims, since it's his party, right? Sure.

Kulpims is a foreigner, and I distrust all foreigners. I also distrust Foreigner, because they sing "I Want to Know What Love Is." Which is a song about Ike Turner, I believe. I can't remember. I'm baked off my ass right now. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, fuck Foreigner. and Fuck foreigners. But not Kulpims, because he probably has AIDS or gonorrhea or scurvy, like a pirate. Speaking of pirates, have you seen that one movie where the guy is all like, AAARGH! That shit was hella awesome. But anyway, Kulpims is...uh...Eritrean, right? Or is he Scandinavian? I forget. He's one of those white dudes who rides his bicycle in circles and shoots documentaries about evolution. Or was that Bob Crane? Yeah, that's it. Kulpims is the guy who shoots bondage film and whacks off while hitting himself with a flagellation stick. What was I talking about? Oh yeah:

Fuck Foreigner.









Anybody got any French Onion Dip?

As a kid (who used to read Stephen Hawking's books) around the age of 11 I formed a hypothesis that if two perfect mirrors were to be perfectly aligned in front of each other, a black hole would appear, pardon the pun. I would find good, clean small mirrors and try to align them, in my mind imagining how I was playing with unprecedented danger - how a little kid could destroy the whole Universe whilst simply playing with two normal everyday objects.

After some time I realized that mirrors are man-made, however, and that nothing man-made is perfect (except for the Internet, which Al Gore invented. And pizza). I always wondered whether anyone else had ever thought the same thing though.

E = MC^2 is not a comment on the ammount of energy or mass in the universe, it is the basis for general and special relativity, the grounds for which we understand literally everything we know about the universe today.

What shit is this 'Dr.' smoking? I want some of it.

Stephen Hawking. Theres no 'S' in that. He didnt do SHIT with giving us string theory either, hes all about black holes you crazy CRAZY bitch....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the first Carl Sagan one better!

Don't forget to check out this one, too.

If we could replace the music videos on MTV with ones like this and the one above, the world would certainly be a different place, methinks.

I like how auto-tuning these great scientists and speakers gives a whole new generation a cool way to absorb these lessons.

>> ^silvercord:
I'll have whatever he's been smoking.


I have what he was smoking.

Are you kidding? The coolest things in this commercial are (in order)...
1. The grenade launcher
2. Adam setting Jaimie's arm on fire
3. Stephen Hawking

>> ^aspartam:
FUCK YEAH! This is amazing. I'm going to extract the audio and wake up to it as an alarm every morning from now on.
Here's a link to download the mp3. It'll be active for 7 days

Whoa, auto-tuned Stephen Hawking? Awesome! That's like Jesus on a velociraptor. Only real.

Very well said!

That was beautiful. Its such a disappointment to me that so many people spend so much of their time focused on what some guy in the desert may or may not have done 2000 years ago, or what he would potentially want us to do now. We should be focused on what needs to be done going forward. Namely, we need to get the f off this rock as quickly as we can.

>> ^thinker247:
Oh, for the days when people could speak together without yelling their opinions.


Actually, Hawking WAS yelling.

awesome

Thanks for the advice. Still trying to figure out exactly how the power points work.

That's a fantastic video, but word of advice - never promote a video until it's got at least 3 votes, otherwise it's a power point down the drain. I learned the hard way

Cheers and welcome to the Sift. You look like a real *quality sifter
