Gravity Rap

What’s up with gravity?
Who’s down with gravity?
Listen to this rap and,

Blind man, you’ll see -

Inverse square laws scare you?

What is the m-one, m-two?

From these fellas, take your clue:

Kepler – he showed the ellipse

Explained the eclipse

On a ton of data he sits -
Into planetary motion he dips

And Solar System nectars he sips

Newton – he’s so versatile
Made others look infantile
Saw gravity fields universal
Mass: more than just inertial
Action at a distance:
Controversial

Einstein – his mind so fine
Showed gravity warps space-time
1919 eclipse he predicts
A star’s light-stream slips
Down a bowl in which the Sun sits
Punchin’ holes through space and time -
Black holes – no friend of mine!
Tidal forces pull me thinner than a fork tine

Big G little g
What begin with g?
Gladly Grounded by Gravity
Jordan had hang time
Seuss made the words rhyme
For you, I can’t make the time -

You thinkin’ little g is small

But the 9.8 makes you fall
It’s not small at all!
On facebook you try to friend me
I deny before you hit send key

Big G: so very, very small
Trying to reach out, gravitational?
Can’t feel your gravity, hardly at all
Got Caller ID: I don’t take your call

Need mass on a planetary scale
To keep me down, close this sale
I deleted all your voice mail

To Mother Nature, I say “Yes Ma’am!”
To 3 body problems, I say “Shazam!”
