Monty python Universe Song

0:11

All right.

0:13

I'll tell you what.

0:16

Look, listen to this.

0:19

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. brown

0:22

and things seem hard or tough and people

0:26

are stupid, obnoxious or dafted

0:30

and you feel that you've had quite

0:33

enough.

0:39

Just remember that you're standing on a

0:43

planet that's evolving and revolving at

0:46

900 m an hour

0:49

that's orbiting at 90 m a second. So

0:52

it's reckoned a sun that is the source

0:54

of all our power.

0:57

The sun and you and me and all the stars

0:59

that we can see are moving at a million

1:02

miles a day

1:05

in an outer spiral arm at 40,000 m an

1:08

hour of the galaxy we call the Milky

1:11

Way.

1:17

[Music]

1:21

Our galaxy itself contains 100 billion

1:24

stars. It's 100,000 light years side to

1:27

side.

1:29

It bulges in the middle, 16,000

1:31

lightyear thick, but out by us, it's

1:33

just 3,000 light years wide.

1:37

We're 30,000 light years from galactic

1:39

central point. We go round every 200

1:42

million years,

1:44

and our galaxy is only one of millions

1:47

of billions in this amazing and

1:49

expanding universe.

1:51

[Music]

2:08

Heat. Heat.

2:14

[Applause]

2:15

[Music]

2:24

The universe itself keeps on expanding

2:27

and expanding in all of the directions

2:30

it can whiz

2:32

as fast as it can go. At the speed of

2:35

light, you know, 12 million miles a

2:37

minute and that's the fastest speed

2:39

there is. So remember when you're

2:41

feeling very small and insecure, how

2:44

amazingly unlikely is your birth?

2:48

And pray that there's intelligent life

2:50

somewhere up in space cuz there's bugger

2:53

all down here on Earth.

3:00

Makes you feel so sort of insignificant,

3:03

doesn't it?

3:03

Yeah. Yeah.

3:07

Can we have your liver then?

3:10

All right.
