Symphony Of Science: The Quantum World (Plus The One Before That I Somehow Missed)
Because I'm slower than Artax in the Swamp of Sadness (my bad) a turtle in quicksand, this is the latest Symphony of Science that came out earlier this week. It's by far one of my favorites and features Morgan Freeman (who may or may yes have known a man who crawled to freedom through 500-yards of shit-smelling foulness) and some of the better lyric/beat mashups. It's a shame these things never make it on the radio. Also: me when I'm trying to win concert tickets. CURSE YOU, CALLER 19!
A musical investigation into the nature of atoms and subatomic particles, the jiggly things that make up everything we see. Featuring Morgan Freeman, Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Brian Cox, Richard Feynman, and Frank Close.
Also included after the jump is the Symphony of Science from before this one, 'Children of Africa', that I somehow missed, which is all about humanity's origins, our similarity to primates, and our species' environmentally destructive tendencies. Like, for example, all the methane we produce by farting. *BUUUUUURP* Remember folks: better out the attic than the basement.
Hit the jump and get your learn on.

Worst sex explanation ever. This is an hour-and-a-half interview between Stephen Colbert and famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. There's a lot of knowledge to be gained from watching it, so I suggest you make a pair of secret computer-viewing glasses tonight and come ba... / Continue →

This is a picture of the shadow cast by a single atom, captured by scientists for the first time. How did they do it? Science. Ooooooooor drew straws and the shortest had to sell their soul to the devil. Not worth it, bro! To get this to work, an atom of Ytterbium was cool... / Continue →

This is a small series of physics (NOT chemistry) themed cupcakes created by a young baker to celebrate their last day of high school physics class. Me? I skipped school and went to the bong store, then drank Mad Dog 20/20's in a public park with a couple of my bros from show... / Continue →
