Lyrics[]
[Dianna]
Some new equation's hit me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by
The rules of Aristotle's game
Delay my spectrum testing
Delay the fluid notes I keep
It's time to trust my instincts
And theorize
A leap
It's time to try defining gravity
I think I'll try defining gravity
To know why things fall down
[Acapellascience]
How can you think you understand
The planet equations of Kepler?
[Dianna]
I'm through inventing limits
The ones that Leibniz stole
Armed with this rate of change
And three laws I already know
Too long I've been afraid of
Sharing my inverse square law
Well here it comes:
Principia Mathematica!
In which I try defining gravity
Masses define the foci in gravity
And they're what pull things down!
[Malinda]
Isaac
Come with me
Look at what we can prove
Together
Limited!
Your theory is so limited!
Low energy limit of its geodesic twin
Newton
Space conveys attraction
[Dianna]
With.. a Hilbert action!
[Both]
All semi-Riemannian!
With space and time defining gravity
Me/you and Einstein refining gravity
There's no such thing as down
[Malinda]
Well? Are you coming?
[Dianna]
I can't. I'm already dead.
[Malinda]
Oh! Right. Okay..
I hope you're happy
Now that your proof exists
[Dianna]
You too!
I hope it brings you bliss
And you never wind up manic
And deny quantum mechanics!
[Both]
I hope you're happy in the end!
I hope you're happy my friend!
[Malinda]
So will you dare to join me
Taking the quest to find
One all-involving theory
Every force preserved and all combined
And if I die in toil
At least I'll die in peace
The world around me
Traced with geometric means
The way that I'm unifying gravity
Kaluza-Klein unifying gravity
With all the forces that we've found
And nobody, not Bohr or Bose
No physicist that is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
[Dianna]
I hope you're happy!
[Acapellascience]
Look at this new physics! Clever!
[Malinda]
Bring me down!
[Acapellascience]
Thank you for the physics!
Now we know why things fall
[Malinda]
Ohhh!
[Acapellascience]
Down!
