It was a calm and cloudless night but it was all still a blur |
| [00:22.00] |
A shaking of our Universe was just about to occur |
| [00:27.00] |
It was Summertime... 1609 |
| [00:31.00] |
when Galileo used his telescope for the very first time |
| [00:38.00] |
and he saw mountains and craters on the moon |
| [00:41.00] |
and a Milky Way with thousands of stars |
| [00:46.00] |
and he saw Jupiter, with four tiny moons |
| [00:51.00] |
he was the only man on Earth that night who knew |
| [00:55.00] |
That Copernicus was right |
| [00:58.00] |
come outside with me tonight |
| [01:00.00] |
and I can show you wonders of the world |
| [01:03.00] |
to surprise and delight |
| [01:05.00] |
I've got my telescope with me |
| [01:07.00] |
just wait until you see |
| [01:10.00] |
that on the Shoulders of Giants.... |
| [01:13.00] |
... we'll see beyond! |
| [01:24.00] |
The world turns round and round now around 400 years have flown |
| [01:29.00] |
since Galileo's telescope first focused the unknown |
| [01:34.00] |
Now we use bigger glass to peer into the past |
| [01:39.00] |
And we're discovering the Universe's secrets at last |
| [01:43.00] |
And there are geysers on Saturn's icy moon |
| [01:48.00] |
and planets circling hundreds of stars |
| [01:53.00] |
while all the Universe expands like a balloon |
| [01:58.00] |
from Galileo's tiny scope we've come so far |
| [02:02.00] |
Galileo was right |
| [02:05.00] |
when he looked out in the night |
| [02:07.00] |
and he discovered wonders of the world |
| [02:10.00] |
to surprise and delight |
| [02:12.00] |
I've got my telescope with me |
| [02:14.00] |
just wait until you see |
| [02:17.00] |
we'll stand on the Shoulders of Giants... |
| [02:21.00] |
And every step follows the one before |
| [02:26.00] |
and opens up a new frontier to explore |
| [02:30.00] |
our 'scopes are dancing in space to see the beauty and grace |
| [02:36.00] |
Oh, Galileo would approve, that's for sure |
| [02:40.00] |
And still for me and you we can join in on this too |
| [02:46.00] |
Just climb up here with me where we'll see more |
| [02:51.00] |
It's a calm and cloudless night come outside with me tonight |
| [02:55.00] |
and I can show you wonders of the world to surprise and delight |
| [03:00.00] |
I've got my telescope with me just wait until you see (oh, wait until you see) |
| [03:05.00] |
we'll stand on the Shoulders of Giants (Galileo knew) |
| [03:10.00] |
That Copernicus was right (Johannes) |
| [03:12.00] |
Come outside with me tonight (Kepler found those) |
| [03:15.00] |
and I can show you wonders of the world (planetary motions on the) |
| [03:17.00] |
to surprise and delight (Shoulders of Giants) |
| [03:19.00] |
I've got my telescope with me (And Isaac) |
| [03:22.00] |
Just wait until you see (Newton found his) |
| [03:24.00] |
we'll stand on the Shoulders of Giants (Universal Laws) |
| [03:27.00] |
(He stood on the Shoulders of Giants...) |
| [03:31.00] |
...to see beyond! |
