Waves and waves of knowledge. Ungraspable.

It is such a pain to live in the 21th century. For it is so hard to grasp every knowledge and information and ideas that pops up in front of my eyes. The Earth is spinning so fast and wildly, that I am about to lose my gravity and be swung into the deep space.

Auto-tuneremix 通常只是用在 pop art 和 pop music 上,但令人佩服的是,melodysheep 这个音乐家利用这两种技术把科学讲座、访问和纪录片谱成歌曲。除了让 Sagan, FeynmanHawkingAttenborough 等人唱歌,其实我最佩服的是作者引用(quote)语句的能力。这么多小时的媒体节目,在作者的引用之下我们只需要几分钟来听。我觉得最令人感到澎湃的是这几句话:

Information in the form of energy streams in simultaneously through all of our sensory systems, and then it explodes into this enormous collage of what this present moment looks like, what it feels like, and what it sounds like. And in this moment, we are perfect, we are whole, and we are beautiful.

Jill Bolte Taylor

Are there things about the universe that will be forever beyond our grasp? Are there things about the universe that are ungraspable?

Richard Dawkins

One of the great revelations of space exploration is the image of the Earth, finite and lonely, bearing the entire human species through the oceans of space and time.

Carl Sagan

话不多说,享受吧。如果有兴趣请把别的作品也看下去,单单听这些学者的话已经令人激昂了。







大马需要推广科学和哲学思想。与其教育孩子单纯的事实,为什么不教育他们如何思考。就好像 Phil Plait 说的 "Teach a man to reason, and he'll think for a lifetime."

p/s:谢谢萧清的分享,才得以看见这些创作。
p/p/s:如果你有耐性看没有台词、没有故事曲线(non-narrative)和两小时长的人文电影,那么我强力推荐 Koyaanisqatsi (1982)。
