It's Up Uranus

Einstein The Wildeness Years. Between the years 1937-40, Einstein, became a script writer for George Formby films. But the combination of a gorky simpleton, with big teeth that inadvertantly stumbles across a theory of particle wave duality was never a comfortable one.

"It's Up Uranus" 1936 British Gaumont Films

Scene: scientists in an observatory. Head scientist calls, "Come on, George, give us a song! ", waving his pipe.
George: Alright then, hehehe.


Song:

In 1666, an apple fell on Newton's head,
as he was sitting out upon the lawn.
When he woke from his kip.
It gave him the pip,
and thus the law of gravity was born.

He said, this law, it's true.
I am telling you.
And applies to pairs of bodies everywhere.
An attraction you can state,
proportional to their weight.
In accordance with me little rule of inverse square.

But now we know,
these celestal equations,
Are, really on ocasions, pretty daft. Hehe
I'm impressed.
Would never have guessed,
When an object moves, it's heavier, than when it's at rest.


The laws of perihelion motion have changed.
Our cosmic notions now can't be compared,
One night in me observatory,
with drinks in me past.
Now tell me what's the matter said a lovely young lass.
I said it's latent energy, condensed into mass.
It's E, equals m, c squared, it never varies.
Yes, it's E, equals m, c squared, not on yer nelly.
No, it's E, equals m, c squared.

Turned out nice again, ain't it.
