The Surface of Light (Lion King Parody)

From Tim Blais, the young physicist who brought us the hilariously informative Bohemian Gravity based on Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, comes this little nugget of wisdom that parodies the theme song to Disney's The Lion King.

Whereas Bohemian Gravity explores the specifics of Quantum Physics and String Theory, the video below delves into current projects to understand how light really behaves, an important topic because the prior supposition that the speed of light is a constant has been recently put into doubt, shaking up our current understanding of the universe. 

Instead of Timon and Pumba, this video showcases BICEP2and Planck, two of the bigger current projects that are looking into the history of the universe.



Without further ado, here is A Capella Science's The Surface of Light:

Bohemian Gravity

Here is a quantum physics primer for anyone willing to listen to it, produced by A Capella Science.  It is both funny and fun, not to mention surprisingly complete, exploring the specifics of String Theory.  Watch the chalk boards behind him; these are extremely informative of the current state in quantum mechanics.

This musical parody is based on Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
