Truly, this one made me smile so long it saved a day for me ... TY Katie and Michael and Simon
-
This version is so funny not least because I remember the scientist making the 'complaint' at the time and his suggested re-write lol.
-
The true blending of ART & SCIENCE.
-
how cool is she!
-
Scientists are only pedantic because they're terrified of anything they can't prove. I'm not insulting them; it's a completely rational fear.
-
it's good to be wrong
-
13,8 billion light years would be the way the light traveled, it's not how far these objects are away currently.
Taking in the expansion of space, the "edge" becomes 46 billion light years away. -
Thanks for linking the original sources <3
-
i do get the joke i just love the orignal better
-
You realize that without those "scients' asses" that song wouldn't exist. Nor could you listen to it or would you have a platform like the internet to write ignorant bullshit like that you hypocrit?
-
You don't get the humor here i guess. You realize that katie found this so funny herself, that she actually took time to record the "corrected" version? So if everybody including katie melua had fun with this, then who are you to complain like it was something bad.
-
im a fan and why i put the comment
-
why the hostility? some people are just impossible.
-
It's impossible not to love her :-)
-
She's phenomenal, indeed!
-
The scientific version is funny, but the romantic version is brilliant :-)
-
good on her for not taking her self to seriously that's the great thing about science you can update and use the knowledge you can possibly know
-
Technically she was never wrong- it was a guess and no one ever did say it was true. But I really like the 'corrected' version.
-
fuck the science its a beautiful well crafted tune and simon singh says its incorrect singh do us a favour SOD OFF YOU IDIOT AND STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW AND LEAVE THE SONGWRITNG TO KATIE OK
-
You sound dumb and proud of it. :)
