on the one hand, you're right. on the other hand parody is the only place under current copyright regulations where this sort of thing is legal without paying licensing fees, so it HAS to be parody or we don't get it.
When university gets overwhelming, I just watch some of your videos to remind myself why I'm studying science in the first place. Thanks for all the motivation!
For those asking, here is a list of the songs he uses. 0:14 1990: One Jump Ahead 1:53 1995: Prince Ali 3:46 2009: Friend Like Me 5:25 2016: A Whole New World Btw, the line at 1:08 "given we got nine" is in the context that it's in 1990.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2019 was awarded "for contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the universe and Earth's place in the cosmos" [...] to Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz "for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star."
I remember how when I was in about forth grade, in science class we learned about stars, and I asked my teacher if there are any other planets orbiting other stars. she said there aren't, and that planets are unique to our solar system, and even back then I didn't believe her. It's amazing how far we've come in such a short time : ) thank you Kepler.
@@GinkgoBalboa142 yeah, unfortunately science teachers living by science principles aren't that common around the world, even in so called developed countries.
@@metametodo That science teacher WAS living by science principals. It was commonly accepted in the scientific community that there were only "9" planets for *years.* It would be like someone teaching geocentrism pre-Copernicus/Galileo/Kepler. Sure the theory is wrong, but by teaching the most up-to-date (accepted) theory, a teacher is doing their job.
@@yuukinoyuki9064 you're right, but exactly as you said she's reproducing the established knowledge. Even if it's not the central part of her job to be following scientific principles, the ideal answer would be saying something along "as far as we know, no". You can't prove something doesn't exist, and especially we should always as scientists be very aware and vocal about our own unknowns and ignorances, saying "no, there aren't" isn't an answer that respects that principle, especially for someone that's teaching others.
@@metametodo True enough, there is very little a scientist can claim with any certainty. And in fact most of scientific advancement can be traced to someone who wasn't content to accept established knowledge. Being willing to say, "we don't know" is perfectly viable. And what (I hope) current teachers say when faced with questions such as, "is there life outside our solar system?" But if they were to answer "no" I wouldn't call them a bad teacher. A bad scientist, sure. But as a teacher they're answering what they think their student is asking. Not, "is it possible?" but "what's the answer if it's on the test?"
I have no idea why but this song always gets me teary eyed. Something about getting doubted and downplayed and then proven right and then everyone is behind you.
It’s a classically human story, and then it’s capped with the hopes and dreams of doing something seemingly impossible. Plus aladdin’s music itself is just so masterfully composed This video is incredible
Your facial expressions are what steal the show, IMO. It took me a bit to appreciate the epic way you get inside the emotion of every individual word, but now that I know what I'm looking at, I can't look away.
I felt shivers down my spine when the 2016 segment started, and by the time he got to "found concealed by the band shifts of the closest star in sight" I was actively weeping. Dayum!
I'm struggling to finish my PhD (physics), and this reminded me why I started this in the first place. The successes after the failures, the joy and the wonder- it brought me to tears. Thank you for a wonderful video.
If we can develop propulsion systems that could get spaceships up to relativistic speeds, those a decent portion of the speed of light, the whole galaxy would be open to us! Serious time dilation effects would ensure that even if we hadn't developed anti-aging or some form of immortality by then, that people would live to see their destinations.
I'm stunned at the production quality of these acapella videos. There are no mistakes, and the mixing captures the exact feeling and focus of the original songs which is SO difficult to do. Just WOW I love this channel so much!!
I need Pegasi! A-S-A-P! A full version, decoded and downloaded completely, it's the best planet song I am sure, no one will think it a bore, and includes me for Pegasi....
That was brilliant! The Pegasi 51b song was my favorite part, but the entire thing was awesome - understandable, accurate, well-scanning, rhyming lyrics; great visuals; good singing!
Tim, I think I remember you saying (I think in the Up for Discussion podcast) that one of the challenges you faced was wanting to try and make your music appropriate for people of all ages and educational backgrounds - closely mirroring or following the pixar or disney movie guide (different people at different points in their lives could interpret or find different meanings in the film). I think this song is definitely a huge step in that direction, especially with the choice of piece(s) covered. Keep up the amazing work - the amount of talent and effort is evident, I love the Aladdin soundtrack, and this one of my favorite covers of yours yet! Definitely showing this to the younger ones in my family!
Can confirm as someone who has rarely explored science in depth.. I actually understood this one. This, More than Birds, the Pluto probe one and Evo-Devo were the most accessible to me. But I still loved the gravity ones even though I don't really understand the concepts. (The Newton-Einstein "Wicked" interaction was so fun and touching, and Bohemian Gravity was an amazing feat!!) Love this channel!
I'd like to say it's accapella, therefore no music for those who read this after the edit (if it happens) this is the original 2nd sentence "4 perfect voice with perfect music." (sorry if that sounds rude)
That's an incredible amount of work you've put into this. And really great that it came out right after the discovery of the Trappist-1 system. Guess you started post before you could make a part on that.
It really fit so well, and it is a beautiful - not only song - but literature about the so long desperate search for other planets - now the galore is showing. And probably soon in a decennia or so the first pics with the next gen space bound telescopes...? As schientist and Sci Fi fan I really adore some Sci Fi going science... without fiction.
I am so thrilled you are creating astronomy content now!!! I cannot wait to show this in my astronomy class. You are so amazing to find a way to make science accessible🎉🎉❤❤
I have to admit that Sam Robson's hair is mesmerizing. But holy shit this whole thing is flawless. You all are so expressive, your voices are all beautiful, you move so it looks almost like a real dance - the background visuals aren't quite to your usual standard but I don't think I could pay attention to them anyway when Robson's hair is swishing.
Have an astronomy midterm on Thursday with a section on expoplanetology that I'm a bit iffy on, and I remembered you had a video on this topic. Re-watched it while reading the lyrics, and it was indeed helpful! Sent it to my prof to hopefully send on to my other classmates as they prepare for the midterm.
I love your music. I'm one of those for who science was confusing and now late in life I'm finally getting it (6th decade here). So thank you for the learning and thank you for the joy of music.
This video is my all time favorite on UA-cam. Of course there's the storytelling of the effort that went into finding planets. But that's not the main attraction for this video. It would have to be the love, the dedication, the references, the accuracy - it's the epitome of perfect. Kudos to all who put an effort into this video. I can't stop watching it over and over
+acapellascience Tim, just applause. Loud and long. Applause. Really enjoyed everything about this, your work on the music and video elements, and the musical performances of yourself and your cast. Shared to my Twitter and it got RT'd to a few thousand more. Wishing you every success - great work!
I am a Disneyfreak and involving Disney music is greatest idea because I seem to remember the fact more easily. You people are such a blessing. Thanks a lot!❤
How am I just finding this now? This is amazing on so many levels! I write math songs myself, so I appreciate what’s involved in making it work (if you ever need to work “matrix” into a song, I have a trick), but this is a masterpiece!!!! Amazing! Incredible! Plus the singing!!! Wow!
Thanks so much for this Acapella science. I love the story this video tells. It just fills me with an overwhelming appreciation for the grand human endeavor that is science.
Just played this as the intro for a public talk at Box, Inc. called "Music of the Spheres: Exoplanets and Stellar Vibrations." I love love love that A Capella Science nails the important historical milestones of exoplanet science and also captures our dreams for the future, all in eight minutes of scientifically spot-on lyrics. Consistently producing such high-quality science education with sweet harmony is "no mean anomaly," yet Tim does it every time. Bravo!
Greetings from Bolivia, I'm touched beyond tears, love your work. ( I only want to point out that we have to take care of our planet before getting excited to move to another planet). Peace!
I couldn't really decide if I like it better when my eyes get watery each time, - when I watch this over and over again, - or when I got pumped up and excited, - when I watch the Molecular shape of you. Both masterpieces, IMHO.
Anytime someone says cold-hearted "science" is replacing religion I say "yeah I'm cool with that" while thinking of your videos. Thank you so, so much for your efforts. This is very special work.
"Oh wow, how did he get a video about the TRAPPIST findings out so quickly?" ... "Oh ok, he just has the best accidental timing on Earth. Still an amazing video regardless."
@@danieltigas9771 This video had already been written, performed (with collaborators), and mostly edited _before_ the discovery of TRAPPIST-1, which is why there was no song for it. So Tim put that “Made ya look!” bit at the end as a reference to it before uploading it. It really worked out nicely considering that the coda (ending) of “A Whole New World” (the only song in this medley _not_ to change its title yet still be very relevant) was this big orchestral-sounding build-up to the big final chord, but it also sounded like it could’ve been leading to yet another song. So it worked out as a very effective _“psych!”_
I am consistently impressed by your ability to fit complicated scientific concepts into catchy songs and maintain the original cadence of the song so effectively.
I've been following you since Bohemian Gravity. Love all your videos. Thrilled to see you've finally done a parody about my passion! Beautifully done! You've touched me to my heart! Thank you, Tim.

5:25 2016: A Whole New World
Btw, the line at 1:08 "given we got nine" is in the context that it's in 1990.
I noticed that right after that line they go "ehh..." and I'm pretty sure that's about Pluto lol
Well, arguably we *still* have 9, we just haven't found Planet X yet.
Could end up accurate anyways- NASA's stating now there are too many lines of evidence for a Neptunoid in the Oort Cloud for it to be coincidence now.
1990 : one jump in radial redshift

@@danieltigas9771 This video had already been written, performed (with collaborators), and mostly edited _before_ the discovery of TRAPPIST-1, which is why there was no song for it. So Tim put that “Made ya look!” bit at the end as a reference to it before uploading it. It really worked out nicely considering that the coda (ending) of “A Whole New World” (the only song in this medley _not_ to change its title yet still be very relevant) was this big orchestral-sounding build-up to the big final chord, but it also sounded like it could’ve been leading to yet another song. So it worked out as a very effective _“psych!”_
It really DID make us look!
Every time I watch this video it cheers me up.

As a student studying astrophysics, this makes me unreasonably happy.
Master Tim Blais, thank you.
When I listen to this, my faith in the human race is renewed. Well played, my nerdy friends, well played.
yeah for real, I never thought I would
Well you always seem to get stuff out in perfect time... right on the discovery of TRAPPIST-1! Great job on this new one!
Actually, they held off on reporting TRAPPIST-1 until Tim's video was almost ready, for better cross-marketing.
Wow, what a lineup of UA-cam talent in one video! LOVE it! :D
I am consistently impressed by your ability to fit complicated scientific concepts into catchy songs and maintain the original cadence of the song so effectively.
honestly one of my favorite videos on UA-cam
Truly amazing, thanks for such an emotional and well crafted song. Love you guys!!
I've been following you since Bohemian Gravity. Love all your videos. Thrilled to see you've finally done a parody about my passion! Beautifully done! You've touched me to my heart! Thank you, Tim.
This one needs a lot more views
This is the most brilliant stuff I've ever come across. You are one talented artist. You inspire me and I'm sure many more like me.
