Real Poetry in the Real World

The most recent video from John Boswell’s Symphony of Science could be the anthem of This Joyful Noise. Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael Shermer, and Richard Dawkins join Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking this time around, the visuals are a step above A Glorious Dawn, and honestly, this is a much richer explanation of how science happens. Curious, collaborative, and filled with awe:

It’s always nice to hear the word “awesome” in its rightful place: no other word quite does the trick. As Jill Tarter says, “the story of humans is the story of ideas that shed light into dark corners.” Our joyful noise, in a dark, silent universe, must be celebrated and shared.

Symphony of Science

Carl Sagan was a treasure and an inspiration. Autotune is more of a mixed bag. What happens when they join forces to remind us of the beauty and possibility of our moment in this universe?

Catchy, ain’t it? Get your daily dose of perspective and grace at Symphony of Science. Let John Boswell’s project remind you, as Sagan says, “how lucky we are to live in this time: the first moment in human history when we are in fact visiting other worlds.”
