What are we really made of?

Dig deep inside the atom

and you'll find tiny particles

held together by invisible forces.

(held together by invisible forces.)

Everything is made up

of tiny packets of energy

born in cosmic furnaces.

[Frank Close] The atoms that we're made of have

negatively charged electrons

whirling around a big bulky nucleus.

[Michio Kaku] The Quantum Theory

(Quantum Theory)

offers a very different explanation

of our world.

[Brian Cox] The universe is made of

twelve particles of matter

four forces of nature

The universe is made of

twelve particles of matter

four forces of nature

that's a wonderful and significant story.

[Richard Feynman] Suppose that little things

behaved very differently

than anything big.

(anything big.)

Nothing's really as it seems.

It's so wonderfully different

than anything big!

The world is a dynamic mess

of jiggling things!

It's hard to believe

[Kaku] That Quantum Theory

(Quantum Theory)

is so strange and bizarre

even Einstein couldn't get his head around it.

In the Quantum world,

the world of particles,

nothing is certain.

It's a world of probabilities. [Kaku] The Quantum Theory

offers a very different explanation

of our world.

[Feynman] It's very hard to imagine

all the crazy things

that things really are like.

(are like. are like.)

Electrons act like waves.

No they don't exactly.

They act like particles.

No they don't exactly.

[Stephen Hawking] We need a theory of everything

(need a theory of everything)

which is still just beyond our grasp.

(still just beyond our grasp.)

We need a theory of everything

(need a theory of everything)

perhaps the ultimate triumph

the ultimate triumph of science.

[Feynman] I gotta stop somewhere...

I'll leave you something to imagine!
