A Trippy Foray into the Astrophysics of Bach With more than 62 vigintillion individual notes, "Mandala" is the longest palindrome in existence. Composed using the first nine partials of the Natural Harmonic Series repeating at the accelerated tempos of our solar system, Mandala would continue without repetition for over 532.25 septendecillion years. In homage to "Art of the Fugue" by J.S. Bach, blah blah blah just watch it.

This guy is going to be so bummed when he finds out Pluto isn't a planet anymore.

It would be neat to include the various moons as well, maybe just around the time their primary's note plays.

For 2012 I'm taking a break from videos where some guy holds up cards with hand written text. Feel free to join me.

Cue to Gustav Holst's "The Planets".
