Symphony of Science
Has anyone else seen the Symphony of Science videos on Youtube? For anyone who hasn't seen them, a guy has taken audio/video clips from famous scientists like Carl Sagan, David Attenborough, Jane Goodall, Richard Dawkins, Neil deGrasse Tyson and so on, put them through an auto-tune and mixed the results into songs.
The music isn't brilliant in itself, but all science geeks will love the science! Here're my two favourites:
Our Place in the Cosmos (ft. Sagan, Dawkins, Kaku, Jastrow):
The Unbroken Thread (ft. Attenborough, Goodall, Sagan):
There are some more, if you follow the links on Youtube to the guy’s channel.

Hehe, the music reminds me of when GLaDOS is singing at the end of Portal.
Cheesy music but cool imagery

Yeah, it's cheesy music, I agree! Also, the chap who makes these has some serious love for Carl Sagan.
Speaking of Sagan, the Cosmos series is on Youtube. Made in 1980, I only discovered it the other day, but still got a lot out of it.
Am thinking of buying the boxed set, so I can get the whole family some Carl Sagan action. Any other fans around here? Now would be a good time for Abhishek to appear.
