capri0mniAnd I like it better than the original, because the original song is about sexual attraction (which is 'meh' to me). And this version about how quantum physics leads naturally to physics, which leads naturally to biology on the human scale (which is !Shiny! to me) -- all illustrated with animation as each level scales up. ... and put to the same catchy tune.
I can't follow the mathematical/chemistry terminology, but I think I understand the illustrations.
Unfortunately, it's unfriendly to those sensitive to flickering light... so I'll put it under a cut:
One thing I love about it, metaphorically speaking, is that it personifies each of the entities as they interact: disturbances in the quantum field, electrons, protons, atoms, molecules, amino acids, and finally, the human listening to the song.
This helps me articulate an idea that's been snuffling around in my brain for years, now:
The problem with the "Schrödinger's cat paradox" is that Schrödinger forgot that the 'cat' is a witness to events inside the box (that is: if inanimate objects can contain "information" in a non-sentient way, why can't they "observe" in a non sentient way?):
"Come bond with me, Baby, come bond!"

(And this song, in particular, has me thinking of that Hermetic chestnut: "As above, so below.")
Fractalicous!
