the special relativity song - nicky case lyrics

Loading...

i’m float*
*ting on a boat
at a constant velocity
and you’re
on the shore
just standing there observing me

to you i’m moving at a speed of v
but you move at minus v, according to me
that’s all (three) what we call (two)
galilean (one) relativity (zero)

but now you better watch it
coz i’m zoomin’ on a rocket
at half the speed of a light beam
you may think that i see
that the beam’s velocity
is halved, that’s what it might seem

but it’s not!
it has got to move even further
because the speed of light
is the same for every observer

(but how do you get galilean relativity and a constant speed of light?)
einstein knew, for this to bе true
time has to slow down for me
so what if timе is relative?
well, that’s special relativity

(i’m talkin’ about!…)

astronaut fathers younger than their sons
a pole that does and does not fit in a box
e is mc squared, just for funs
these and many other a paradox

un
locks
with
clocks

drawn on a sp*cetime diagram
you’ll see
geometrically
where and when i am

your friend’s now engagin’
lorentz transformation
1 over square root of 1 minus
v squared over c squared
that’s the factor
for length contraction
and time dilation
for a fast moving actor
so
yeah
that’s the idea
in its elegant simplicity
and so
now you know
the heart of special relativity
