03 | Does Time Exist? Felix Flicker

🎵 Як з’явилася ця пісня? Цю пісню я написав ще в далекому 2012 році, коли навчався в КПІ на Інженерно-фізичному факультеті і паралельно цікавився біологією та психологією людини. Поєднання цих напрямків наштовхнуло мене на ідею написати пісню від імені ботана-технаря, який співає про кохання мовою науки. А чому я згадав про неї саме зараз? Усе просто: Таня читала книгу з фізики (вона займалася бета-рідерством) і періодично розпитувала мене про різні речі. Вона ставила фундаментальні питання, на які навіть я не міг одразу знайти просте пояснення. Це нагадало мені про цю пісню, і я вирішив її переглянути та трохи допрацювати. Якщо ви не технар, деякі терміни можуть звучати незвично, тому нижче 

🧠коротке пояснення ключових моментів: 
✅ Дилатація зіниць – це розширення зіниць у відповідь на сильні емоції або темряву. У пісні це вказує на фізичну реакцію організму при зустрічі з коханою людиною. 
✅ Каталізатор – у хімії це речовина, яка прискорює реакцію. Тут це означає, що погляд коханої людини викликає миттєві фізіологічні зміни, зокрема викид адреналіну. 
✅ Фенілетиламін – нейромедіатор, який діє подібно до амфетаміну. Він впливає на відчуття ейфорії та романтичного захоплення, стимулюючи викид дофаміну та норадреналіну. У пісні він "активує вмить нейрони", що підкреслює його миттєвий вплив на мозок. 
✅ Каліфорній – це радіоактивний хімічний елемент (Каліфорній-252), один із найдорожчих у світі. Його вартість сягає 27 мільйонів доларів за грам. У пісні він символізує щось рідкісне, цінне, небезпечне, але варте здобуття заради кохання. 
✅ Квантова заплутаність – явище, при якому дві частинки стають зв’язаними на відстані: якщо змінити одну, інша зміниться миттєво. У пісні це символізує глибокий зв’язок між двома людьми 
✅ Когерентність – у фізиці це означає узгодженість хвиль. У контексті пісні – це метафора синхронного розуміння та гармонії між двома закоханими 
✅ Резонанс – явище, коли одна система посилює коливання іншої. Тут воно означає емоційний відгук між двома людьми, який впливає на весь світ навколо 
✅ Рівняння Нав’є-Стокса – одне з найскладніших нерозв’язаних рівнянь у фізиці рідини. ✅ Розщеплення ядра урану – фізичний процес, що використовується в ядерній енергетиці та зброї. Він вимагає величезних енергетичних затрат і складних умов. У пісні – це метафора готовності здійснити щось надзвичайно складне заради кохання 
✅ Ентропія – це міра хаосу та безладу. У пісні зростаюча ентропія думок означає інтенсивний потік емоцій та нестабільність почуттів. 
✅ Експоненційний ріст – це коли щось збільшується дуже швидко, з прискоренням. Наприклад, так росте популяція бактерій або кількість думок у голові, коли ти закоханий.

Uli - Bikes Are a Terror!

🎤 Presentation of “Uli – Bikes Are a Terror!” 🚲💥

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for an anthem that proves life is made of falls, but also of laughter and persistence!

“Bikes Are a Terror!” isn’t just a song about not knowing how to ride a bike — it’s a delicious metaphor for how learning anything new can be total chaos. Who hasn’t tried something thinking it would be easy, only to discover that gravity has a sense of humor of its own?

Here, every wrong turn, every scraped knee, and every awkward glance from the campus crush becomes fuel to laugh at yourself and keep moving forward. Because, deep down, the message is clear: mistakes are part of the process, falling is inevitable, but getting back up is non-negotiable.

With verses full of irony and an explosive chorus of “Yeah-yeah-yeah, whoa-whoa-whoa!”, Uli reminds us that life isn’t about pedaling without falling — it’s about keeping at it until one day you glide with confidence and shout: “I did it!”

This song is an invitation to embrace the ridiculous, celebrate learning, and believe that perseverance always wins. Because, in the end, every fall is just a rehearsal for victory.

So, strap on your helmet, grip the handlebars, and get ready to ride this rollercoaster of sound. 🚴‍♀️✨ “Bikes Are a Terror!” — an anthem of hope, persistence, and of course, good laughs.

Uli - Bikes Are a Terror!

(Intro)

(Verses 1)

So my dorm-mate laughed at me, 
“Girl, I learned it when I was three!” 
I hopped on the seat, thought I’d slay, 
Boom—face-first, what a day.

I’m no athlete, never was, 
But they all keep sayin’ because: 
“It’s easy, don’t you whine, 
Riding bikes is super fine!”

Every try, I’m zig-zag bound, 
Like a circus clown in town. 
Crowds are watchin’, I pretend, 
But my balance meets its end.

On the campus quad, I stress, 
Never once a “bike success.” 
And my knees, they start to shake, 
Like I’m riding on an earthquake.

(Chorus)

No way, dude, this can’t be right! 
Reading manuals late at night. 
I can’t ride a bike—poor me! 
A total terror, don’t you see!?

Yeah-yeah-yeah, Whoa-
whoa-whoa, Yeah-yeah, 
Oh no! Bikes are a terror!

(Verses 2)

I’m in a rush, like finals week, 
But patience is the skill I seek. 
Step by step, that’s how you grow, 
Not by bingeing YouTube, though.

Tutorial on 2x speed, 
Didn’t help my bike-y need. 
“Sit down straight, one foot, then glide…” 
Bro, I swear I almost cried.

Every try, I swerve and spin, 
Nearly crashin’ into him. 
Campus crush just walked on by, 
Saw me fall—yeah, I could die.

On the college path, I stress, 
Helmet hair, a total mess. 
Still I’m here, I won’t give in, 
One day soon I’ll ride and grin.

(Chorus)

No way, dude, this can’t be right! 
Reading manuals late at night. 
I can’t ride a bike—poor me! 
A total terror, don’t you see!?

Yeah-yeah-yeah, Whoa-
whoa-whoa, Yeah-yeah, 
Oh no! Bikes are a terror!

[Verses 3]

Raphaella said to me, 
“Swimming’s something I can’t do, see.” 
What if while I pedal fast, 
That thought hits me—and I crash!?

Okay, I get it, no quick trick, 
It ain’t magic, just physics. 
Grab a book, mechanics class, 
Newton’s laws will save my ass.

(Final Chorus)

Chill out, girl, don’t lose your vibe, 
Still young, enjoy the ride. 
Step by step, you’ll get it right, 
One day soon you’ll own that bike.

Discipline, persistence too, 
Pedal slow, the skill comes through. 
Once you learn, it’s locked for life… 
…unless I crash again tonight!

Paul Robertson, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Irvine, is co-author of a new paper in The Astronomical Journal on an exoplanet that is tantalizingly close to Earth. The proximity of this exoplanet helps astronomers glean more details about it. They want to know how it compares in size to Earth, if it has an atmosphere, and if it is in the habitable zone, a distance from the host star that would make it possible for the planet to have liquid water on its surface, a key ingredient to support potential life. In this episode of the UC Irvine Podcast, Robertson discusses the tools he and his team used to characterize this exoplanet and what he hopes to learn in future exoplanet hunting efforts.

UC Irvine Podcast: Studying a Nearby Exoplanet

Ten years after the first detection of gravitational waves, scientists have captured the clearest signal yet — and it confirms one of Stephen Hawking’s most famous predictions.  Using the upgraded LIGO detectors, researchers observed two black holes colliding over a billion light-years away, producing space-time ripples so precise they could “hear” the black holes ring like cosmic bells.


Verse 1
Ten years since the silence broke,
The void began to sing,
A billion years of distance spoke,
Through spacetime's trembling string.
Two shadows spun in endless dance,
Till gravity took wing,
And LIGO caught the final glance-
We heard the black holes ring.

Chorus
Black holes ring in the dark unseen,
Echoes where no light has been,
Hawking's words across the stream,
Proving more than just a dream.
Black holes ring, and time bends thin,
The music of creation's spin.

Verse 2
They merged beyond the light of stars,
A whisper through the deep,
Their waveform carved in cosmic scars,
Awakening from sleep.
The sound was clear, the tone was true,
A choir beyond the seen,
Confirming what the mind once knew-
That Hawking dreamed in rings.

Chorus
Black holes ring in the dark unseen,
Echoes where no light has been,
Hawking's words across the stream,
Proving more than just a dream.
Black holes ring, and time bends thin,
The music of creation's spin.

Bridge
The void's not empty, it's alive,
A symphony beneath the skies,
Each ripple sings the laws we find,
Where matter fades and minds align.

Final Chorus
Black holes ring, the cosmos hums,
The edge of truth forever drums,
Light is gone, yet sound remains-
The voice of stars, through endless chains.
Black holes ring, and we begin,
To hear the pulse of what's within.

Black Holes Ring
