Background sound (press ESC to stop): Jakub Jan Ryba's "Czech Christmas Mass" (Hey master, get up quickly); a 41:39 MP3 recording here
Merry Christmas! This special season is also a great opportunity for Matias Zaldarriaga and Nima Arkani-Hamed to sing for all the victims of the anthropic principle who try to live in the bad universes (audio - sorry, the true artists have not been recorded yet):
- WE WISH YOU A TINY CC
WE WISH YOU A TINY CC
WE WISH YOU A TINY CC
SO YOU GET GALAXIES!
GOOD TIDINGS WE BRING,
FROM FROM VILENKIN
DON'T CRY IF YOUR WORLD SUCKS
IT'S MUCH BETTER OUT THERE
WE WISH YOU A TINY HIGGS VEV
WE WISH YOU THE RIGHT UP QUARK MASS
WE WISH YOU A GOOD WEAK SCALE
AND A HAPPY VACUUM.
You can't live until you get stars
You can't live until you get stars
You can't live until you get stars
So bring them right here.
GOOD TIDINGS WE BRING,
FROM FROM VILENKIN
DON'T CRY IF YOUR WORLD SUCKS
IT'S MUCH BETTER OUT THERE
WE WISH YOU A TINY CC
WE WISH YOU A TINY CC
WE WISH YOU A TINY CC
IN A BIG MULTIVERSE!
Single vevs
- Trashing discretuum,
with a one-choice vacuum.
Laughing with our boss
and with David Gross... (( Ha, ha, ha ))
Vevs are 'bout to ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it's to determine
the one background that's right.
Oh, single set [of] single vevs, single all the way!
Grab all other vacua and throw them right away.
Single set [of] single vevs, single all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to thrash anthropic beasts of prey.
Landscape is now gone,
so let's have some fun
Take Witten along
And sing predictive song.
Begin with the state
Two-fourty-eight E-eight
Start to calculate the numbers
and crack! You won't be late.
Oh, single set [of] single vevs, single all the way!
Grab all other vacua and throw them right away.
Single set [of] single vevs, single all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to thrash an..thropic beasts of prey.
Incidentally, the most famous classical old Czech Christmas carol "Nesem vám noviny" (lyrics, imprecise English lyrics, LM audio) is also sung by those who bring you good news from the landscape of Bethlehem.
