Neil DeGra**e Tyson - Secret of the Stars lyrics

[Intro: ???] Say, do you like mystery stories? Well we have one for you. The concept: relativity. That strange fantastic relationship between time, distance, and ma**. Before we're finished, I think you'll agree that truth is stranger than the strangest fiction. [Narrator] Why do the stars shine? Why does the galaxy light up? [Chorus: Brian Cox] E equals MC squared That is the engine that lights up the stars Energy turns into ma** E equals MC squared - That is the secret of the stars [Michio Kaku] Now listen carefully: The faster you move THe heavier you get The energy of motion turns into M, your ma** Energy of motion [Brian Cox] Energy equals Ma** times the speed of light squared An awful lot of energy For a tiny amount of ma** Light travels at the same speed No matter how you look at it No matter how I move, relative to you, Light travels at the same speed [Neil DeGra**e Tyson] No matter who is doing the measurement And no matter what direction you are moving The speed of light is the same No matter what direction, or how fast As you travel faster Time slows down Everything slows down [Brian Cox] Time slows down when you move Time pa**es at a different rate Clocks run slow [Lisa Randal] It's a monumental shift in how we see the world [Pre-Chorus: Michio Kaku] The beauty, the majesty, The power of the universe Into a single equation [Chorus: Brian Cox] E equals MC squared That is the engine that lights up the stars Energy turns into ma** E equals MC squared - That is the secret of the stars It's a beautiful piece of science It's a beautifuly elegant theory It's a beautiful piece of science [???] A planet like the Earth is kept in orbit Because it follows curves In the spatial fabric caused By the sun's presence [Brian Cox] Space and time are bent by stars and planets As things move through this curved space, they bend [???] Now all of this is illustration of the fact that time and space are linked together. [Brian Cox] As you're moving through bent and curved space and time, You feel like you feel a force (x2) That force is gravity [Pre-Chorus: Michio Kaku] The beauty, the majesty, The power of the universe Into a single equation [Chorus: Brian Cox] E equals MC squared That is the engine that lights up the stars Energy turns into ma** E equals MC squared - That is the secret of the stars
