Es ist Wochenende und ich versuche eigentlich immer freitags ein schönes Wissenschafts-Musikvideo aufzutreiben.
Diesmal gibt es ein Lied über einen der berühmtesten und wichtigsten Wissenschaftler der Antike. Er war Mathematiker, Physiker und Ingenieur: Archimedes, der das Hebelgesetz und den Auftrieb fand und von dem angeblich der Ausspruch “Heureka” stammt.
Der Text des Liedes:
Archimedes!
Archimedes!
A mathematician and scientist
Born in 287 BC
He lived in the city of Syracuse
On the island of Sicily
He said he could move the world
If he only had a place to stand
A fulcrum and a lever long
And the strength of an average man
He solved the problems of his days
Using math in amazing ways
His great work lives on today
Archimedes!
Archimedes!
The Archimedian Principle tells
Why things float up or sink down
He found it when he needed to prove
The value of the King’s gold crown
His pulley system lifted weights
When the heavy loads got rough
His inventions saved the day
There wasn’t any job too tough
He solved the problems of his days
Using math in amazing ways
His great work lives on today
Archimedes!
Archimedes!
He watched the stars and planets move
He built a planetarium
To illustrate the Universe
The Earth the Moon and shining Sun
With circles and with cylinders
He was busy calculating π
This really was remarkable
For a man who lived in early times
He solved the problems of his days
Using math in amazing ways
His great work lives on today
Archimedes!
Archimedes!
Archimedes! Archimedes!
Archimedes! Archimedes!
