11 Steps to Making a Science Rap Song

Here are 11 easy steps that you can take to make your own science rap song. Just follow these steps and wait for recording labels to contact you for million-dollar deals. Wow, so simple!  STEP 1: End up with a fantastic amount of free time A global pandemic is advisable. But if it is too hard to get or the last one didn't exactly leave you wanting for more, then maybe find it some other way. The point is to have so much time that outrageous ideas like writing, recording and making instrumentals to a rap song and then putting it out there online for less than ten to possibly millions of viewers to watch, butcher and hate on should steam slowly from a "Hell NO!" to "no one's gonna watch it probably, so why not try it out?" to "Hell yeah, either this is the origin story of a rapping legend or just another guy who's put a mediocre song online.

And you’re probably right, this is a flimsy attempt at original content meets SEO optimising. Prophet needs to focus on the business end too. The idea of using a local Lorentz frame to serve as some far-fetched analogy on life in general had come up to me back during the General Relativity course at college. And I had to revisit old General Relativity notes now since I had forgotten the whole idea, not that great a feeling. So I have to make this worth the effort. I’ll keep the science short. In a local region of curved spacetime, one can always choose coordinates where the metric looks approximately like the flat Minkowski metric. This is the local Lorentz frame. Ok ok that seems lik...
