Symphony of Science - A Wave of Reason

"A Wave of Reason" is the seventh installment in the Symphony of Science music video series. It is intended to promote scientific reasoning and skepticism in the face of growing amounts of pseudoscientific pursuits, such as Astrology and Homeopathy, and also to promote the scientific worldview as equally enlightening as religion. It features Carl Sagan, Bertrand Russell, Sam Harris, Michael Shermer, Lawrence Krauss, Carolyn Porco, Richard Dawkins, Richard Feynman, Phil Plait, and James Randi. More science music videos can be found at http://symphonyofscience.com. Enjoy! ~John john @ symphonyofscience.com Lyrics: Russell: When you are studying any matter Or considering any philosophy Ask yourself only: what are the facts, And what is the truth that the facts bear out Sagan: Science is more than a body of knowledge It's a way of thinking A way of skeptically interrogating the universe If we are not able to ask skeptical questions To be skeptical of those in authority Then we're up for grabs Shermer: In all of science we're looking for a balance between data and theory Harris: You don't have to delude yourself With Iron age fairy tales Porco: The same spiritual fulfillment That people find in religion Can be found in science By coming to know, if you will, the mind of God Krauss: The real world, as it actually is, Is not evil, it's remarkable And the way to understand the physical world is to use science Dawkins: There is a new wave of reason Sweeping across America, Britain, Europe, Australia South America, the Middle East and Africa There is a new wave of reason Where superstition had a firm hold Plait: Teach a man to reason And he'll think for a lifetime Sagan: Cosmology brings us face to face with the deepest mysteries With questions that were once treated only in religion and myth The desire to be connected with the cosmos Reflects a profound reality But we are connected; not in the trivial ways That Astrology promises, but in the deepest ways Feynman: I can't believe the special stories that have been made up About our relationship to the universe at large Look at what's out there; it isn't in proportion Russell: Never let yourself be diverted By what you wish to believe But look only and surely At what are the facts Randi: Enjoy the fantasy, the fun, the stories But make sure that there's a clear sharp line Drawn on the floor To do otherwise is to embrace madness Help us caption & translate this video! https://amara.org/v/EOK/

[Bertrand Russell] Když studujete jakoukoliv věc nebo zvažujete libovolnou filozofii, ptejte se sebe pouze: 'Jaká jsou fakta a jaká je pravda za jejich důsledky?' [Carl Sagan] Věda je víc než jen soubor poznatků, je to způsob myšlení. Způsob, jak skepticky zkoumat vesmír. Pokud nebudeme moci klást skeptické otázky, skepticky zpochybňovat lidi v pozici autority, pak naletíme každému. [Michael Shermer] V celé vědě hledáme rovnováhu mezi daty a teorií. [Sam Harris] Nemusíte se nechat klamat pohádka
mi z doby železné. [Carolyn Porco] Stejné duchovní naplnění, které lidé nalézají v náboženství, mohou naleznout i ve vědě. Tím, že poznají, chcete-li, mysl Boha. [Lawrence Krauss] Skutečný svět, takový, jaký opravdu je, není zlý, ale pozoruhodný. A způsob, jakým porozumět fyzickému světu, je použít vědu. [Richard Dawkins] Máme tu novou vlnu rozumu, která se žene přes Ameriku, Británii, Evropu, Austrálii, Jižní Ameriku, Střední východ a Afriku. Máme tu novou vlnu rozumu tam, kde dříve pevně vládl
y pověry. [Phil Plait] Nauč člověka přemýšlet a bude myslet po celý život. [Carl Sagan] Kosmologie nás přivádí tváří v tvář těm největším záhadám. Otázkami, kterými se kdysi zabývaly pouze náboženství a mýty. Touha být propojen s kosmem odráží hlubokou skutečnost. Skutečně jsme propojeni; ne tuctovým způsobem, který nabízí astrologie, ale tím nejhlubším způsobem. [Richard Feynman] Nemohu uvěřit zvláštním příběhům, které si lidé vymysleli, o našem vztahu k celému vesmíru. Jen se podívejte ven, vž
dyť je to úplně neúměrné. [Carl Sagan] Věda je víc než jen soubor poznatků, je to způsob myšlení. Způsob, jak skepticky zkoumat vesmír. [Richard Dawkins] Máme tu novou vlnu rozumu, která se žene přes Ameriku, Británii, Evropu, Austrálii, Jižní Ameriku, Střední východ a Afriku. Máme tu novou vlnu rozumu tam, kde dříve pevně vládly pověry. [Phil Plait] Nauč člověka přemýšlet a bude myslet po celý život. [Bertrand Russell] Nikdy se nenechte rozptýlit tím, čemu byste rádi věřili. Hleďte pouze a s ji
stotou na to, jaká jsou fakta. [James Randi] Užijte si fantazii, zábavu a příběhy. Ale ujistěte se, že existuje jasná hranice mezi oběma světy. Jednat jinak by znamenalo objímat šílenství. [Richard Dawkins] Máme tu novou vlnu rozumu, která se žene přes Ameriku, Británii, Evropu, Austrálii, Jižní Ameriku, Střední východ a Afriku. Máme tu novou vlnu rozumu tam, kde dříve pevně vládly pověry. [Phil Plait] Nauč člověka přemýšlet a bude myslet po celý život. Český překlad: Honza Jíša

Science has brought me more meaning and happiness in life than religion ever did. This has become my anthem for the last several years now. A daily reminder if you will.

@ns5070

I just hope that things like this can finally make people stop thinking of science as some dark shadowy figure that's trying to destroy the belief systems of the religious.

"Teach a man to reason, and he'll think for a lifetime." Said that at school a while back, and it felt so good.

Your Symphony of Science remixes are absolutely awesome. I have always believed that music, at least certain music, contains a sort of magic, and your SOS songs all contain it, in my humble opinion. Thank you for sharing these with us!

I miss Sagan. RIP.

Usually I stay out of arguments between atheists and religious people but it’s interesting to see each side’s points.

I'm finally old enough to stay home from church on Sundays. This is what I listen to. It gives me hope for humanity.
