"Galaxy Song" - Eric Idle & Dr. Brian Cox
Рет қаралды 136,094
3 жыл бұрынIn 2018 Eric Idle released a sortautobiogrophy titled "Always look on the bright side of Life".
On Monday, October 22nd, he sat down with Professor Brian Cox to have a little chat about that book on stage of the Barbican Hall, London.
At the end of that evening, Eric performed "The Galaxy Song" (from Monty Phyton's "Meaning Of Life") with Brian commenting live on how accurate the information given in the lyrics really is.
Wonderfull!

Ah, but since Eric wrote the song, the speed of light has obviously slowed down - much like Eric himself, I suppose: not because he is "idle" but simply because he is now so old!
@scottc858 Жыл бұрын
Light travels at a little over 11 million miles in 1 minute. 12 million miles a minute is close enough. No need to split RCH's here. Like we can really tell the difference. Slow it down to 1 million miles per minute and we still probably would notice any difference.
