Okay, so all we need you to do is state the real facts super accurately and fit the other rhymes and rhythms of the song and sing it in at least 4 part harmony. Only then , will Hawking finally rest in peace. 😂
And yet, he ends his song with the words: "Yet light will shine (from that once black horizon) in light you'll be reborn." Obiously referring to the Hawking radiation that contains all information of your spaghettified self :). Merry Sciencemas!
Thank you so much for doing this, Tim. These have been mind-boggling! I hope you'll do it again next year. There are still so many other Christmas songs I'd love to hear you sing. Have a very warm, wonderful and joyful Christmas and an exhilarating new year!
If I can recommend to everyone else, play this at 0.9x. It puts the carols into more familiar range of tempos, letting the harmonies and background lyrics breathe more than the algorithm may normally allow, and there's no distortion I can hear (except a touch at the end of "Science Night"). Plus it gets the channel more view minutes!
I tried .9 but it seemed too slow for me. I tried .95, that worked better but I'm very happy at normal speed for now. I guess I don't feel the need to mess with Tim's perfection.
Wow, as always what a phenomenal quality. And 7 full minutes of it!? My favorite sound-alike phrase was is “fish up onto land”, what a find! Second favorite must be “oooooo…orbitals” - naturally it comes with plenty of time for guessing ‘how might it end?’ during the build-up until it’s finally said. And number 3 would be “single cells”, which fits so perfectly, there wasn’t the slightest need to go out there into an obscure phrase or phrasing, or a clever pronunciation. Thanks for blessing us with such enjoyable content this day, and a Merry Christmas!
i already know this snippet of single cells by heart, can't wait for the whole thing obsessed with the way Tim keeps making songs even better until there isn't a single one left that i sing with its original lyrics lol
Thanks, this made me laugh out loud. Many times. I just LOVE your work, can never get enough of it. What a multi-talented fellow you are. Makes me proud to be Canadian.
Just WOW!!!!!!!! And thank you. This has to be a labor of love because This must have taken days, weeks, nay even months of writing, mixing, editing so Blessings for the good cheer.
ah, "the data of whether it's true..." A whole lot of people were ticked off back when I...an administrative assistant...looked at a paper and said...wait a minute, doc... I don't think this says what you think it says. :( But it didn't. And I was really ticked that they didn't want to go and figure out why the data said what it was actually saying instead of just being annoyed that their theory was wrong :(
Ok, so my brain was still in the Christmas song mindset, so I unconsciously started reading your comment ("Holy, holy, holy shit...") in the Oh Holy Night tune.
Imagine if we had songs like "The First Nobel" to stir the same sense of awe and reverence for science and scientists that is usually reserved for religious music. Then again.....maybe it would just turn into a science literacy nightmare when grandma wants to sing about how going out in the rain causes polio. 😅
WOW, this is amazing! As a fellow physicist (currently halfway through my PhD) and acappella kid (former bass and beatboxer of a group in college) I am in shock with how creative your lyrics are, as well as the very fun arrangements for these songs. I would love to see the sheet music for this if you have. Fantastic job, hope you're doing great, merry christmas and happy 2025.
Haha the voice leading is a MESS. Since it's all me the voices each go crazy ranges up and down all over. I just composed it in the DAW so I don't have sheet music but if I ever get interest from like a group maybe I'll put up learning tracks somewhere

the black hole song said "No light"
Stephen Hawking: WRONG!!!!!!!!
Okay, so all we need you to do is state the real facts super accurately and fit the other rhymes and rhythms of the song and sing it in at least 4 part harmony. Only then , will Hawking finally rest in peace. 😂
is radiation the same as light?
And yet, he ends his song with the words:
"Yet light will shine
(from that once black horizon)
in light you'll be reborn."
Obiously referring to the Hawking radiation that contains all information of your spaghettified self :).
Merry Sciencemas!
@@MargotBrouwer thank you.
@@MargotBrouwerNot just that, he says
Yet light (Hawking's new light)
Will shine (from the once black horizon)
Thank you so much for doing this, Tim. These have been mind-boggling! I hope you'll do it again next year. There are still so many other Christmas songs I'd love to hear you sing. Have a very warm, wonderful and joyful Christmas and an exhilarating new year!
Another great donation from the classic anne. Great to see you again
@@Koolstuffdude. thank you. do I know you with a different name? Tim deserves anything any of us can give him.
BRAVvvOOOoooOOOoooOOO

The world needs more nerdy music like this!
Beautifully put together! Ending a science parody medley of christmas carols with "reborn"? _Everyone liked that._
If I can recommend to everyone else, play this at 0.9x. It puts the carols into more familiar range of tempos, letting the harmonies and background lyrics breathe more than the algorithm may normally allow, and there's no distortion I can hear (except a touch at the end of "Science Night"). Plus it gets the channel more view minutes!
I'll try it. thanks.
And it could sound great in slight slomo.
I tried .9 but it seemed too slow for me. I tried .95, that worked better but I'm very happy at normal speed for now. I guess I don't feel the need to mess with Tim's perfection.
The comeback we all waited for!!!! The hype is consuming me!!! ❤❤❤
Wow, as always what a phenomenal quality. And 7 full minutes of it!? My favorite sound-alike phrase was is “fish up onto land”, what a find!

Thanks for blessing us with such enjoyable content this day, and a Merry Christmas!
you earned your thumbs up by having tiktalik and vsepr geometry all in one video
he's pretty impressive.
my family thought i'd made an egregious typo lol
@@acapellascience which one? egregious
ɪˈɡriːdʒəs
adjective
outstandingly bad; shocking.
remarkably good.
archaic
@@acapellascience What happened to your glasses?
That was so fucking awesome! Don't disappear again my dude.
Best. Christmas. Present. EVER! Instant classic and a science room essential! Thanks, Tim and peace and prosperity to you!!
i already know this snippet of single cells by heart, can't wait for the whole thing
obsessed with the way Tim keeps making songs even better until there isn't a single one left that i sing with its original lyrics lol
Thanks!
Seven Science Carols, a.k.a. The Christmas Sweater Medley. Great work as always, Tim! Thank you for the holiday cheer!!
he does have some beautiful sweaters.
It wouldn't have been a true carol without the rainbow of beautiful Christmas sweaters.
Thanks, this made me laugh out loud. Many times. I just LOVE your work, can never get enough of it. What a multi-talented fellow you are. Makes me proud to be Canadian.
The subbass root at 0:38 is out of this world...
These are the only Christmas carols I’ll listen to, as a science loving Jew!
As a science-loving Pagan, you and me both haha!
Instant classic, jumped straight to my top 3
Just WOW!!!!!!!! And thank you. This has to be a labor of love because This must have taken days, weeks, nay even months of writing, mixing, editing so Blessings for the good cheer.

First smile I've had in a couple months. I can't thank you enough for that. Best gift ever, happy holidays all. ❤
I loved the songs already when you posted them as shorts, but you went and combined them into a single Christmas medley??? This is amazing!! :D
they have been filling my whole holiday season with so much joy! what a finale!
I am absolutely loving your music! Thank you so much for these amazing songs
holy smokes!! that's so many science carols!!! what an arrangement!!!!!!
Jesus, first post I've seen in years and it's an absolute banger that makes me hate Christmas carols just a tiny bit less.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Best Christmas SciNerd gift ever.
I'm so glad you're making content again Tim! We love your songs!
Love the preview already.
Merry Christmas Tim!
Your musical talents and gifts you bring are a joy throughout the year.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
A new a capella video?
It's a Christmas miracle!
you have set the meter of angels from the realms of glory to the tune of angels we have heard on high and that TRIGGERS me
I enjoy it. I hope you can come to terms with it.
I needed a boost. This was amazing
WOW. I mean, WOW. The music, the production, the lyrics… This should be able to be properly awarded somehow 🫶👏👌
FANTASTIC JOB! i so enjoyed this and sent it along to my science brother.
Wow, youve outdone yourself, Tim. Amazing, amazing, amazing work. ❤❤❤
Lovely carol medley! It was a long wait but I'm so glad you're still working. This gives me chills.
Made me wish I knew even more about science. Great job Tim.😊
Holy, holy, holy shit. Everything was great, but that ending was something else. And I love that you gave each of you a different solo song!
Ok, so my brain was still in the Christmas song mindset, so I unconsciously started reading your comment ("Holy, holy, holy shit...") in the Oh Holy Night tune.
🎄
Bravo! Spectacular! Thank you for this wonderful Christmas gift.
Tim, you're a gift. Thank you. Best wishes from Calgary.
Those tags at the end would be worthy of BHS consideration. well done sir.
What a lovely surprise to find first in my feed! Thank you!
Imagine if we had songs like "The First Nobel" to stir the same sense of awe and reverence for science and scientists that is usually reserved for religious music. Then again.....maybe it would just turn into a science literacy nightmare when grandma wants to sing about how going out in the rain causes polio. 😅
Thanks!
Freaking fantastic. The compendium, and the finale in particular, were worth the wait.
This was a joy. Informative, lyrically clever, and expertly delivered. Acapellascience has some of my favorite songs on the internet.
Merry acapellamas, Mr science claus!
so cool that you still produce and post these, awesome stuff!!
An instant Christmas classic!
Those glorious harmonies on The First Nobel, Angles We Have Learned For Bonding, and O Hole of Light!!!
Oh I love the ending notes. This guy can sing!!!! Thank you.
Thanks, Tim! This was delightfully brilliant!
Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄🌟
I love how fast the songs are sung! This video could easily have been twice as long and half as dynamic, I think the speed was a great decision
and flawlessly merged together. he is good at what he does
Love a good medley, but I also NEEEEED a full version of the tiktaalik song! 😍
I'm so grateful for this gift.
amazing, I’ve never liked christmas songs more than this! 😂
Stumbling on this was an awesome christmas present!
Wow, after a long time, acapellaScience released its latest song!!!
Dang dude. How are you this talented? Also, merry Christmas to all!
_So_ happy youre still producing!
Excellent lyrics as always. Hope you keep this up!

@@acapellascienceMessy voice leading? Barbershop baritones live there perpetually.
Tim's intensity shines brightly in this.
I was a little sad you didn't go up to the high 5th at 4:18, but then 6:36 hit and it was glorious.
Exactly the same experience I had, what an emotional rollercoaster xD
I think this is the way the carol is written in hymnals that include both verses, to keep the money note from losing its impact.
@@abydosianchulac2 Right, I just didn't expect the reprise on first watch.
@@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven Good point. Oh, and I love the sequence in your username.
Awesome, the best xmas gift
Thank you
This was a great Christmas present
Lyrics:
Science night, probing night
Make a guess, might be right
Test empirically, spare not your child
With statistical power compiled (You will)
Keep it up and you'll see
You'll generate a theory
(Merry Science Christmas)
Pull your weight, ain't it freein'
In the late Devonian
A beautiful sight, Tiktaalik in flight
Crawlin' as a fish up onto land
Gone away is the ray-fin
Here to stay is the forelimb
A lunker that comes with primitive lungs
Crawlin' as a fish up onto land
Human or a lizard or a pigeon
If you're tetrapodal be aware
We descend from a sarcopterygian (What a vision)
Who ventured out to get a bit of air
If you wish for a brush-up
Watch a fish do a push-up
Remember the drain from where we all came
Crawlin' as a fish up onto land
The first Nobel Madame Curie did sway
Was for work on the brand-new uranium ray
She metered that ray as it ionized
And by inference polonium hypothesized
Nobel, Nobel
Nobel, Nobel...
Shared it with Pierre and with Becquerel
Passing through a pore
Is a one-strand RNA
Find a ribosome
A protein to convey
Protein find a string
Of genome to transcribe
Returning us to RNA
And keeping us alive
Oh, single cells, single cells
Sing all through the day
Work and hum, their enzymes come
From a one-strand RNA, hey!
Single cells, organelles
Multicellulae
Have their fun, but we all come
From a one-strand RNA
Angles we have learned for bonding
120 trigonal in the plane
Tetrahedral four responding
To repulsion in VSEPR's name
Oooooooooooorbitals
They will combine when able
Oooooooooooorbitals
This compound is stable
O hole of light
A star no longer shining
Untwinkling night
Since its death and rebirth
Lightyears away
A bonded pair combining
Unleash a wave
In the space here on Earth
As we approach
Our local time distorting
For yonder breaks
A future's causal fork
Fall toward the screen
That near event horizon
No light may climb
No light, no signal borne (Causally severed)
No light may shine
No light (bel)
(Nobel)
(So you want a Nobel)
So you've got some pet theory that fits so clearly to you
Just know the only measure is the data for whether it's true
Envisioning that dais, it sure can bias your view
That's why the only measure is the data for whether it's true
Pretty up, pretty up, pretty up your find
You'll pay in due time
When nothing replicates using your design
Pretty up, pretty up, pretty up, it's fine
Won't nobody mind
Oh no, it's all shot, you forgot to effectively data-blind
So if your power's lacking, don't go p-hacking it through
Because the only measure is the data for whether it's true
Your whole darn field may know it and peers may glow in review (Every peer may glow in review)
Just know the only measure is the data for whether it's true
Now the truth is not the kind of thing a cheque (ka-ching!) can buy (oh no)
But you might just stumble on it if you question why (you stop and question why)
If you're rigorous and inventive and you're putting in the work (Gotta put in the work)
You may be an immigrant kid or a little-known patent clerk
A patent clerk!
The bleeding edge might be at old MIT or Purdue
But friend, the only measure is the data for whether it's true
It is the point of science that you can try it, yes you!
Because the only measure is the data for whether it's true
Study oobleck and goo
Prove a theorem or two
See how molecules bind
You can study your mind
Watch the waves as they dance
Breed for color in plants
Jump into a black hole if you get a chance
Fall through the screen
Your being spaghettifying
No light survives (when you fall)
That final quantum storm (Gaze into, enter, the singular center)
Yet light (Hawking's new light)
Will SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE
(From that once-black horizon)
In light
(Radiant light)
You'll be reborn
it's amazing! thank you for writing it all out.
Erratum (edited): "Pretty in light" -> "Radiant light".
The greatest christmas gift!
Leaving a comment for the algorithm - you’re the best!
