Lyrics:

Say, do you like mystery stories?
Well we have one for you.
The concept: relativity. That strange fantastic relationship between time, distance, and mass.
Before we’re finished, I think you’ll agree that truth is stranger than the strangest fiction.

Why do the stars shine?
Why does the galaxy light up?

E equals MC squared
That is the engine that lights up the stars
Energy turns into mass
E equals MC squared –
That is the secret of the stars

Now listen carefully:
The faster you move
THe heavier you get
The energy of motion turns into M, your mass
Energy of motion

Energy equals Mass times the speed of light squared
An awful lot of energy
For a tiny amount of mass

Light travels at the same speed
No matter how you look at it
No matter how I move, relative to you,
Light travels at the same speed

No matter who is doing the measurement
And no matter what direction you are moving
The speed of light is the same
No matter what direction, or how fast

As you travel faster
Time slows down
Everything slows down

Time slows down when you move
Time passes at a different rate
Clocks run slow
It’s a monumental shift in how we see the world

The beauty, the majesty,
The power of the universe
Into a single equation

(refrain)

It’s a beautiful piece of science
It’s a beautifuly elegant theory
It’s a beautiful piece of science

A planet like the Earth is kept in orbit
Because it follows curves
In the spatial fabric caused
By the sun’s presence

Space and time are bent by stars and planets
As things move through this curved space, they bend

Now all of this is illustration of the fact
that time and space are linked together.

As you’re moving through bent and curved space and time,
You feel like you feel a force (x2)
That force is gravity

(refrain)

That is the secret of the stars

  1. If you could get in a space ship and travel at near the speed of light and come back to earth, you litetally time travelled. The earth will be in the future relative to you. You could travel for a year and cone back and 100 years have pased on earth.

  2. I first heard this as an undergraduate student in 2013 and this song contributed to getting me interested in general relativity. I ended up defending my PhD and am currently a postdoc at a national lab studying relativistic effects in particle beams.

  3. Not at all, my friend.
    It's knowledge like this that reminds us whatever you got going on, time is a relative concept.
    It's only something we made up.
    Which by default means it's never too late for anything.

  4. This video should be shown to every kid in grade school science class. My six year old asks to watch this every day and says to mommy, "Energy turns into mass. The faster you go, the heavier you get!" He doesn't even have a science class until he gets into second grade, but man, he's gonna blow his science teacher away.

  5. ive not watched this in 8 years an i remember it word for word and brings back such a joy of nostalgia and facination with the stars. that ive missed as life moved forward and i got older and i couldn't be more thankful i re found this.

  6. This song taught me the real meaning behind E=MC2, I knew that E was Energy, M was Mass and C was the speed of light. But until this song, I had no idea what it all meant.

  7. I remembered that I had seen "What Lies Beyond Our Own Space-Time Continuum" before I saw it on Symphony of Science, but it isn't here anymore. I was surprised that it turned into religious evangelism.

  8. Now that I think about it, but are there not 4 forces and 12 particles at the very base of the universe? If so, where are the other three great theories? After all E=MC suared represents gravity. What represents the causation behind the existence of electromagnetism, lesser radioactivity and greater radioactivity? What drives their very existence as the fundamental forces of the cosmos? Do we have theories that explain them, that hold up just as well and are just as all encompassing as Einstein's theory is for gravity? If so, I would like to hear about them as well.
