We Are All Connected, Symphony of Science, John Boswell, 2009

 

[deGrasse Tyson]

We are all connected;

To each other, biologically

To the earth, chemically

To the rest of the universe atomically

[Feynman]

I think nature’s imagination

Is so much greater than man’s

She’s never going to let us relax

 

[sagan]

We live in an in-between universe

Where things change all right

But according to patterns, rules,

Or as we call them, laws of nature

 

[Nye]

I’m this guy standing on a planet

Really I’m just a speck

Compared with a star, the planet is just another speck

To think about all of this

To think about the vast emptiness of space

There’s billions and billions of stars

Billions and billions of specks

 

[sagan]

The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it

But the way those atoms are put together

The cosmos is also within us

We’re made of star stuff

We are a way for the cosmos to know itself

 

Across the sea of space

The stars are other suns

We have traveled this way before

And there is much to be learned

 

I find it elevating and exhilarating

To discover that we live in a universe

Which permits the evolution of molecular machines

As intricate and subtle as we

 

[deGrasse Tyson]

I know that the molecules in my body are traceable

To phenomena in the cosmos

That makes me want to grab people in the street

And say, have you heard this??

 

(Richard Feynman on hand drums and chanting)

 

[Feynman]

There’s this tremendous mess

Of waves all over in space

Which is the light bouncing around the room

And going from one thing to the other

 

And it’s all really there

But you gotta stop and think about it

About the complexity to really get the pleasure

And it’s all really there

The inconceivable nature of nature

Nuit d'étoiles, Théodore de Banville, 1861

 

La nuit jette sur la dune

Ses diamants comme un roi.

Elle est blanche comme toi,

Sous les doux rayons de lune.

Tes yeux, ô magicienne,

Confondent leur ciel obscur

Avec l'implacable azur

De la mer Tyrrhénienne.

Mille fleurs s'épanouissent

Près de son riant bassin,

De même que sur ton sein

De folles roses fleurissent.

Elle sait, la Nuit sacrée,

Mère des enchantements,

De quels épouvantements

J'ai l'âme encor déchirée.

O saphir! azur sans voiles !

O calme délicieux !

La mer est comme les cieux

Resplendissante d'étoiles.

Mais de ta bouche fleurie,

Pour calmer ce mal cuisant

Tu me baises en disant

Que ma blessure est guérie.

[kkokkolis]

 

Nuit d'étoiles, sous tes voiles, Claude Debussy, 1880

 

Nuit d'étoiles, sous tes voiles,

sous ta brise et tes parfums,

Triste lyre qui soupire,

je rêve aux amours défunts.

 

La sereine mélancolie vient éclore

au fond de mon coeur,

Et j'entends l'âme de ma mie

Tressaillir dans le bois rêveur.

 

Dans les ombres de la feuillée,

Quand tout bas je soupire seul,

Tu reviens, pauvre âme éveillée,

Toute blanche dans ton linceuil.

 

Je revois à notre fontaine

tes regards bleus comme les cieux;

Cettes rose, c'est ton haleine,

Et ces étoiles sont tes yeux.

.....................Lyrics

 

..................Kute Blackson - The miracle is you!

 

When you were first conceived you were a double strand of DNA in a fertilized ovum. Dividing 50 times, and you had over 100 trillion cells. More than all the stars in the milky way. Then you were born into existence.

 

Each of your cells do over 6 trillion things per second. Just think how a human body knows how to kill germs, digest, make babies, and talk, all at the same time.

 

The miracle is you.

The miracle is you.

- Your heart beats 101,000 times per day.

- During your life it will beat 300 million times.

- Each day you take 23,000 breaths.

- Your blood travels 60,000 miles each day on its journey through the body.

- 25 million cells are being produced in your body each second.

- You blink at least 15,000 times per day.

- Your brain has about 100 billion nerve cells.

- If all your DNA was stretched out it would reach the moon 6000 times.

- You shed 600,000 particles of skin every hour.

- Your bones are 4 times stronger than concrete.

- Your eyes can distinguish up to 1 million color surfaces, and take in more information than the largest telescope in the world.

- Your lungs inhale over 2 million liters of air daily.

- When you touch anything, a message is sent to your brain at 124 mph.

- Your skin consists of 280,000 heat receptors

- The length of your blood vessels would circle the globe 2 ½ times.

- You have the ability to distinguish up to 10,000 different smells.

- Your tongue has over 10,000 taste buds.

 

The miracle is you.

The miracle is you.

 

Listen to the music.

Listen to the music.

Deep inside.

 

Listen to the music.

Listen to the music.

Deep inside

 

There are universes dancing inside your body.

There are sunsets shining in your heart.

There are symphonies playing in your toes.

Rivers of blood effortlessly flows.

There is a full moon beaming in your belly button.

There is a cool breeze blowing in your lungs.

There is a gentle rain that falls from your eyes.

There is an army of love in every step.

There is love making in your every motion.

 

A body of devotion.

 

The miracle is you.

The miracle is you.

 

So realize.

Visualize.

It’s all inside.

 

A galaxy of amazement.

 

Should you ever forget.

Just close your eyes.

And

 

Listen to the music.

Listen to the music.

Deep inside.

 

Listen to the music.

Listen to the music.

Deep inside.

 

The miracle is you.

The miracle is you.

Don Quichotte à Dulcinée, Chanson Romanesque, Maurice Ravel, 1932

 

Από τον κύκλο τραγουδιών Δον Κιχώτης του Paul Morand

 

Moderato

Si vous me disiez que la terre

a tant tourner vous offensa,

je luis dépêcherais Pança:

vous la verriez fixe et se taire.

 

Si vous me disiez que l'ennui

vous vient du ciel trop fleuri d'astres,

déchirant les divins cadastres,

je faucherais d'un coup la nuit.

 

Si vous me disiez que l'espace

ainsi vidé ne vous plaît point,

chevalier dieu, la lance au poing,

j'étoilerais le vent qui passe.

 

Mais si vous disiez que mon sang

est plus à moi qu'à vous ma Dame,

je blêmirais dessous le blâme

et je mourrais vous bénissant.

 

O Dulcinée.

Starstruck, Rainbow Rising, 1976

 

If I'm high on a hill

She will still be looking down at me

What does she see

That brings her closer every day to my heart

If I'm away from home

And think I'm all alone

She's there, somewhere

I look around to see

And looking back at me

She's there, beware

Creeping like a hungry cat

Seen it before

And I know it can mean that

 

* The lady's starstruck she's nothing but bad luck

The lady's starstruck running after me

The lady's starstruck she's nothing but bad luck, yeah, yeah

 

I could fly to the moon

But she'd soon find a way to be there

I never knew for a while

That a smile made 'em really care

She wants a souvenir

To everyone it's clear

She's hooked, one look

She wants a photograph

And everybody laughs

But not me, 'cause I see

She's creeping like a hungry cat

Seen it before and I know it can mean that

 

*

 

It used to be a game

Now I can't repeat my name at all

She seems to believe that

I never can refuse her call

She wants a souvenir

To everyone it's clear

She's hooked, one look

She wants a photograph

And everybody laughs

But not me, 'cause I see

She's creeping like a hungry cat

Seen it before and I know it can mean that

 

* x 2

 

And back of a tree

I'm looking back at me

Blind and off my state

I've just got to beware

The lady's starstruck

Yes, she's bad luck, bad luck

Starlight, Ron Dollekamp, 2007

 

Από την ιστοσελίδα του Πανεπιστημίου York

 

"Artist Ron Dollekamp of Scarborough has created a stunning depiction of the natural universe which creatively mixes elements of space and time to describe the research undertaken by faculty and students associated with the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Graduate Program in Physics and Astronomy at York University.

 

The centrepiece of the painting is a fragment of the Earth upon which the Toronto skyline and Lake Ontario are seated. Further emphasizing the Canadian connection, the northern lights hang over the skyline, with the Big Dipper shining through. The Moon and several other planets form a pleasing arc around Toronto, and a blue nebula of interstellar space hangs nearby. The fragment of Earth is seen growing out of the Milky Way galaxy of which it is a constituent. Hurtling towards the galaxy are rays of light, our probe of the universe at large, and a cascade of fundamental particles of nature out of which all matter is composed. The immense scale of the universe is emphasized by the display of another more distant galaxy in the background. The painting not only rivets attention from afar, but many fine details attract closer scrutiny. Even the second "star" in the handle of the Big Dipper is accurately shown to be double.

 

Astronomy and Astrophysics are represented by the galaxies and their linkages to the particles out of which they formed and to the stars and planets which formed within them.

 

Atomic and Molecular Physics are represented not only by the stream of particles, which is a mixture of protons and electrons, but also by the northern lights, which are a manifestation of collisions between particles in the solar wind with atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere.

 

The essence of Particle Physics is covered by depicting the protons in a manner consistent with the quark model of the atomic nucleus; three "colours" of quarks are confined inside bubbles in such a way that their distinctiveness is most obvious in the centres, but fades away toward the boundaries, as quark confinement models demand.

 

The Earth's crust and molten core are shown below the city of Toronto, amplifying Earth Physics.

 

Crystals embedded in the Earth's crust signify Chemical and Condensed Matter Physics, and to a certain extent Optical Physics, as crystals form the heart of lasers.

 

More subtly, Chemical and Condensed Matter Physics are represented by the blue nebula above the galaxy, which arises from the scattering of starlight off particles of dust floating between the stars.

 

On a macroscopic scale, the northern lights signify research into both Atmospheric and Space Physics, as their emissions provide a valuable probe of the nature of the upper atmosphere and the interactions of charged particles with the Earth's magnetic field.

 

Microscopically, the northern lights provide a probe of the structure of atoms and molecules, which are a subject of Optical Physics. The swath of light rays hurtling into the galaxy further illustrates research in this field.

 

Another focus, Biological Physics, is amplified by the views of the landscape around Toronto and by the incoming streams of particles and light, which are tools used to probe how living things function.

 

Engineering is highlighted by views of the CN Tower and SkyDome.

 

Fluid Dynamics, a subject which is fundamental to research in many fields, is depicted by a flow of water out of Lake Ontario into the Milky Way. The connection to the Milky Way completes the cycle of galactic evolution, which is characterized by a continual exchange of matter between star systems and the interstellar medium. The conversion to steam emphasizes the inexorable march of the universe towards a maximal state of randomness."
