    分享个搞怪的Rap...其实也不"怪"

    国内有九维空间兄的<退相干><爱在量子力学前>国外的也有不少哈 这不咱最近听到了首关于Dark Matter的Rap抓过来共享下

    歌词如下:

    The Dark Matter Rap: Cosmological History for the MTV Generation

    My name is Fritz Zwicky,
    I can be kind of prickly,
    This song had better start
    by giving me priority.
    Whatever anybody says,
    I said in 1933.
    Observe the Coma cluster,
    the redshifts of the galaxies
    imply some big velocities.
    They're moving so fast,
    there must be missing mass!
    Dark matter.

    Dark matter: Do we need it? What is it? Where is it? How much?
    Do we need it? Do we need it? Do we need it? Do we need it?

    For nearly forty years,
    the dark matter problems sits.
    Nobody gets worried 'cause, "It's only crazy Fritz."
    The next step's not 'til the early 1970s,
    Ostriker and Peebles,
    dynamics of the galaxies,
    cold disk instabilities.
    They say: "If the mass, were sitting in the stars,
    all those pretty spirals, ought to be bars!
    Self-gravitating disks? Uh-uh, oh no.
    What those spirals need is a massive halo.
    And hey, look over here, check out these observations,
    Vera Rubin's optical curves of rotation,
    they can provide our needed confirmation:
    Those curves aren't falling, they're FLAT!
    Dark matter's where it's AT!

    Dark matter: Do we need it? What is it? Where is it? How much?
    What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?

    And so the call goes out for the dark matter candidates:
    black holes, snowballs, gas clouds, low mass stars, or planets.
    But we quickly hit a snag because galaxy formation
    requires too much structure in the background radiation
    if there's only baryons and adiabatic fluctuations.
    The Russians have an answer: "We can solve the impasse.
    Lyubimov has shown that the neutrino has mass."
    Zel'dovich cries, "Pancakes! The dark matter's HOT."
    Carlos Frenk, Simon White, Marc Davis say, "NOT!
    Quasars are old, and the pancakes must be young.
    Forming from the top down it can't be done."
    So neutrinos hit the skids, and the picture's looking black.
    But California laid-back, Blumenthal & Primack
    say, "Don't have a heart attack.
    There's lots of other particles.
    Just read the physics articles.
    Take this pretty theory that's called supersymmetry.
    What better for dark matter than the L-S-P?
    The mass comes in at a ~ keV,
    and that's not hot, that's warm."
    Jim Peebles says, "Warm? Don't be half-hearted.
    Let's continue the trend that we have started.
    I'll stake out a position that's bold:
    dark matter's not hot, not warm, but COLD."
    Well cold dark matter causes overnight sensations:
    hand-waving calculations,
    computer simulations,
    detailed computations of the background fluctuations.
    Results are good, and the prospects look bright.
    Here's a theory that works! Well, maybe not quite.

    Dark matter: Do we need it? What is it? Where is it? How much?
    Where is it? How much? Where is it? How much?

    We have another puzzle that goes back to Robert Dicke.
    Finding a solution has proven kind of tricky.
    The CMB's so smooth, it's as if there'd been a compact
    between parts of the universe that aren't in causal contact.
    Alan Guth says, "Inflation,
    will be our salvation,
    give smoothness of the universe a causal explanation,
    and even make the galaxies from quantum fluctuations!
    There is one prediction, from which it's hard to run.
    If inflation is correct, then Omega should be one."
    Observers say, "Stop, no, sorry, won't do.
    Look at these clusters, Omega's point 2."
    The theorists respond, "We have an explanation.
    The secret lies in biased galaxy formation.
    We're not short of critical mass density.
    Just some regions, are missing luminosity."
    Observers roll their eyes, and they start to get annoyed,
    But the theorists reply, "There's dark matter in the voids."

    Dark matter: Do we need it? What is it? Where is it? How much?
    Do we need it? Do we need it? Do we need it? Do we need it?

    Along comes Moti Milgrom,
    who's here to tell us all:
    "This dark matter claptrap
    has got you on the wrong track.
    You're all too mired in conventionality,
    wedded to your standard theory of gravity,
    seduced by the elegance of General Relativity.
    Just change your force law, that's the key.
    Give me one free parameter, and I'll explain it all."
    "Not so," claim Lake, and Spergel, et al.,
    "On dwarf galaxies, your theory does fall."
    The argument degenerates; it's soon a barroom brawl.

    Dark matter: Do we need it? What is it? Where is it? How much?
    What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?

    New observations hit the theory like an ice cold shower.
    They show that cold dark matter has too little large scale power.
    Says Peebles: "Cold dark matter? My feeblest innovation.
    An overly aesthetic, theoretical abberation.
    Our theories must have firmer empirical foundation.
    Shed all this extra baggage, including the carry-ons.
    Use particles we know, i.e., the baryons.
    Others aren't convinced, and a few propose a mixture
    of matter hot and cold, perhaps with strings or texture.
    But nowadays most physicists are captured by the synergy
    of inflation, cold dark matter, and repulsive dark energy.
    Lambda or quintessence makes the whole picture integrate
    by causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate.
    New physics is exciting, and it gives us more to do.
    Before we had one mystery. Now we have two.

    So now you've heard my lecture, and it's time to end the session
    with the standard closing line: Thank you, any questions?

  • 刚刚跑步上来...恩...本来不大打算晚上写blog的 不过算了...

    啦啦啦……
    今晚天气不错 挺风和日丽的 
    我今儿晚上没有事 这天气挺爽的
    我一大晚上9点早早去跑步 (伴奏:en en yo!)
    心里啄么着假期生活 是多么美好啊
    这一眨眼的工夫 我跑了半圈多
    要说按么这嘎 遛弯的挺多的
    可是为啥个个 都溜着个狗呢?
    遛狗也就算了 为啥不拴着
    我这一跑不要紧 全跟着我了 我这不是成了 狗王 了么
    你说我是jogging呢 还是遛狗呢
    心想也就算了 反正都是宠物狗 你追不上我 反正都是宠物狗 你追 不不上我
    你追啊追啊追啊追啊 四条腿的狗你 追不上我 你 追不上我...
    心理正在美着 突然闪出几个影子 它窜了上来
    这影儿可够大啊 难道 是狼犬?
    我想:我靠啊 这不完蛋了
    我想:我靠 这不完蛋了
    这可怎么办?这可怎么办? 追来咬一口 这我不完蛋了? 我不完蛋了?
    (...我不完蛋了...我不完蛋了...我不...完蛋了)

    突然发现 这“狗”两条腿  嘴里还在低估
    “这人跑得快我们追他啊” "这人跑得快我们追他吧"
    我说我靠 吓我这一跳 原来是小孩啊 原来是小孩啊
    天真的小孩啊 无聊的小孩啊 无良的小孩啊...

    说这小孩无良 这绝对不过分 这是围追 堵截啊 威逼 利诱啊
    还是小孩他爹娘 比较善良啊(yo)他比较懂事啊(en en yo~)比较懂事啊
    他说了一句话 孩子就不追啦 只是我也差点摔了个跟头
    他是怎么说的? 他是这么说的
    他说:XX你们不要捣乱叔叔 他锻炼啦...

    ~~~我靠 我这咋就成叔叔啦...


    呵呵...完全EG..不过事情纯属事实,如有雷同请告之本人...
