Symphony of Science - the Quantum World!

"The Quantum World" is the eleventh installment in the ongoing Symphony of Science music video series. Materials used in the creation of this video are from:


Richard Feynman - Fun to Imagine
BBC Visions of the Future - the Quantum Revolution
Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman
Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking
Brian Cox TED Talk
BBC What Time is it
BBC Wonders of the Universe
BBC Horizon - What Is Reality

Special thanks to everybody who's donated to keep the project alive and to those who helped track down the materials used in this video.

*Please note that dark matter and dark energy are considered to make up a majority of the universe, in addition to the 12 particles and 4 forces.

Lyrics:

[Morgan Freeman]
So, what are we really made of?
Dig deep inside the atom
and you'll find tiny particles
Held together by invisible forces

Everything is made up
Of tiny packets of energy
Born in cosmic furnaces

[Frank Close]
The atoms that we're made of have
Negatively charged electrons
Whirling around a big bulky nucleus

[Michio Kaku]
The Quantum Theory
Offers a very different explanation
Of our world

[Brian Cox]
The universe is made of
Twelve particles of matter
Four forces of nature

That's a wonderful and significant story

[Richard Feynman]
Suppose that little things
Behaved very differently
Than anything big

Nothing's really as it seems
It's so wonderfully different
Than anything big

The world is a dynamic mess
Of jiggling things
It's hard to believe

[Kaku]
The quantum theory
Is so strange and bizarre
Even Einstein couldn't get his head around it

[Cox]
In the quantum world
The world of particles
Nothing is certain
It's a world of probabilities

(refrain)

[Feynman]
It's very hard to imagine
All the crazy things
That things really are like

Electrons act like waves
No they don't exactly
They act like particles
No they don't exactly

[Stephen Hawking]
We need a theory of everything
Which is still just beyond our grasp
We need a theory of everything, perhaps
The ultimate triumph of science

(refrain)

[Feynman]
I gotta stop somewhere
I'll leave you something to imagine

[qaterius]

"I gotta stop somewhere. I'll leave you something to imagine!"
Always gets me.
Wonderful man.

[BlacKkDreamFR]

I discovered this music 10 years ago

Now I'm preparing myself for a master degree in quantum mechanics

I'M BLAMING YOU MELODYSHEEP <3

[dheibeljr]

I used to listen to this while working my normal desk job about 7 years ago. In May '23 I graduate with my Physics degree.

[LaboomOficial]

I always come back to this masterpiece. Wish this was available on streaming platforms

[TrailerDrake]

One perk of having this memorized is that I can sound smart about a subject that I can barely grasp.

[mrboni]

I played this at a party once, long story short...everyone got lit with knowledge.

[matheusgamersful]

Okay, 8 years ago I listened to this song and I though it was an amazing song, I mean, i think 522 views of it is just mine. Anyway, today I'm in physics graduation and I want to work with quantum mechanics. I'm just talking seriously here, this video just saved my life! Thank you all!

[nicolehao]

Hey, I don't think creators from melodysheep will see this but I just want to say thank you for this video. Words cannot possibly describe how grateful I am. I watched this video in middle school when I was first introduced to physics and it absolutely blew my mind. How you combined music with these speeches from physicists is truly amazing, and it made a middle schooler who was not performing well academically at school think that "Even I can enjoy the beauty of physics! Maybe physics is not only for smart people". It was then I started paying attention to this subject that I assumed was too challenging for me, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it changed the course of my life. Years later, I got accepted into an Ivy League school as a physics major. Every time I feel lost or unsure of what I should be doing with my life, I watch this video, and it fills me with purpose and passion. Thank you.

[jibreel]

richard feynman's face at the end, i could feel the passion through the screen

[wizzardofpaws]

I found this video yesterday and I think I watched it like 20 times already

[kenshein]

When Stephen hawking's part arrived and said "We need a theory of everything", I got goosebumps.
Video was awesome

[UniverseInsideYou]

This channel and these songs are really amazing! I can't stop listening to them 😃

[stevensun]

"We need a theory of everything, which is still just beyond our grasp." RIP

[rhyswong]

I'm a janitor. But with this song, I know the universe is made of 12 particles & 4 forces of nature.

[salgraziano]

11 years later still got the lyrics to this legendary song memorized

[mateuszpraseek]

Stephen Hawking:

"We need a theory of everything"

This is the best

[tling]

music just has its new genre: Education

[visionkrypto]

I wanna cry everytime the song ends and Fenyman has his last part

[houdaini]

i remember stumbling across this 5+ years ago when i was a freshman in highschool (14 years old) and still today it fills me with childlike wonder and sends chills down my spine.

[myannmy]

that was the most beautiful 4 minutes of my life *_*
