Smarty Party! [Countdown beeps] Smarty Party! Got a question? Bring it here. How big? How tall? How far? How near? Every why becomes a song, so come on, everybody, sing along. Here's Scout with a map and a teal blue car. Here's Pip with a camera. Say cheese, superstar. Rooney's out measuring. Kimpy's monkeying around. Ziggy takes a bow, and Gus is already in town. Spotty brought a backhoe just in case. Mikey built a gadget. Mia's got it all in place. And here comes Lenti with style to spare. The whole crew's here, throw your hands in the air. Smarty Party. Big ideas, loud songs. Smarty Party. Everybody sing along. From the tiniest bit to the biggest star. Smarty Party, here we are. Big ideas, loud songs. Smarty Party. Everybody sing along. From the tiniest bit to the biggest star. Smarty Party, here we are. Smarty Party Songs! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Smarty Party Songs: Educational Bangers Volume One, the movie! Let's start things off with the very first Smarty Party Song ever made. It started with one big obsession: every car brand in the world. 63 brands, 13 countries, one fox in a teal roadster. Buckle up for Cars of the World. Buckle up, kids! Here's every car on the planet! Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Lexus, Acura, Suzuki too, Infiniti, Daihatsu, Japan's got a crew, Now beep beep, cross the sea, there's plenty more to view! There's Ford and Chevy, Tesla, Jeep, and Dodge and Ram, Cadillac and Buick, Lincoln, GMC, wham bam! Chrysler, Rivian, and Lucid charging down the lane, That's the USA, so hop aboard, we're switching lanes again! Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Opel, autobahn best friends! Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Pagani, mamma mia, what a sight! Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover, McLaren, Lotus, and the Mini car! Cheerio to Britain, now it's France, bonjour! Peugeot, Renault, Citroën, Bugatti, vroom for sure! Volvo, Polestar, Saab, and Koenigsegg from Sweden, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, Korea's got 'em speedin'! BYD and Geely, NIO, China's on the go, Tata and Mahindra, India steals the show! Škoda! SEAT! Dacia! Czech Republic! Spain! Romania! Those are the cars of the world, from sea to shining sea, If you can name 'em all, you're smarter than me! ...Wait, did anybody see where I parked? 63 car brands and one parking spot nobody can find. Next up, our second song ever made. Eight bits make a byte, and one robot takes way too many selfies. From kilo to mega to giga, all the way up to bits to yottabytes I taught my robot to take a selfie. He took a billion. A bit is a zero, a bit is a one, Eight bits make a byte, and the party's begun. A plain letter A takes a byte in our code, Now here come the selfies! We're ready to load! A thousand bytes? A kilobyte! A thousand of those? A megabyte! Songs and pictures, save them here, My robot took a photo of his robot rear! A thousand of those! A thousand of those! Stack 'em up, pack 'em up, watch how it grows! A thousand of those! A thousand of those! Same little bytes in a much bigger crowd! My little robot is getting quite proud! A thousand megabytes, a gigabyte, A thousand gigabytes, a terabyte. Movies and games in a digital stack, He photographed his front, then he photographed his back! A thousand terabytes, a petabyte, A thousand petabytes, an exabyte! Please stop photographing your bottom. A thousand exabytes, a zettabyte, A thousand zettabytes, a yottabyte! Yotta lotta data! Yotta lotta fun! Are we at the top? Not done! Not done! A thousand yottabytes, a ronnabyte, A thousand ronnabytes, a quettabyte! These are giant numbers, not a box we bought, Real files change size, some a little, some a lot. Eight bits to a byte, then thousands as we go, That's our decimal ladder, now sing the names you know! Kilo! Mega! Giga! Tera! Peta! Exa! Zetta! Yotta! Ronna! Quetta! What a lotta! A thousand of those! A thousand of those! Stack 'em up, pack 'em up, watch how it grows! Great. A quettabyte of robot bottoms. And not one photo of my birthday. A billion robot selfies and not one photo of the birthday. Song number three completes the trio that started it all. Jupiter is 11 Earths wide. The sun, 109. But how big can a star get? Big, bigger, Betelgeuse Okay. I measured the Earth. It's big. ...Then I looked up. Here's our Earth, our home, so round, About eight thousand miles from the top to the ground. Then Jupiter rolls in, the planet king— Eleven Earths could line up across that thing! But the Sun leans over and says, "Excuse me, please," A hundred and nine Earths wide with ease. You think that's the biggest? Well, hold on tight— There are bigger stars out there tonight! Big! Bigger! Biggest in the sky? Not yet! Big! Bigger! Betelgeuse! Bigger than you'd ever bet! Sirius shines the brightest at night, Almost two Suns wide, so white. Pollux is bigger, nine Suns across; Arcturus, twenty-five—now who's the boss? Aldebaran, the Bull's red eye, Forty-four Suns wide in the sky. Rigel's blue-white, burning hot, About eighty Suns—that's quite a lot! Hold on. Hold on. I'm gonna need a bigger ruler. Antares glows, the Scorpion's heart, Hundreds of Suns wide—now we're off the chart! And Betelgeuse, on Orion's shoulder, Is a red supergiant, puffed up and older. If you set it down where our Sun should be, It would swallow Mercury, Venus, Earth, and me— Past Mars it would bulge, nearly Jupiter far! Now that is a seriously supersized star! Big! Bigger! Biggest in the sky? Not yet! Big! Bigger! Betelgeuse! Bigger than you'd ever bet! But here's a star that's tiny and tight: A neutron star, a city in size, Heavier than our whole Sun, packed in so small— A teaspoon would weigh a billion tons in all! So big isn't everything, and small isn't weak; The universe is weird—let's take a peek! Big! Bigger! Biggest in the sky? Not yet! Big! Bigger! Betelgeuse! Bigger than you'd ever bet! Big! Bigger! Betelgeuse! Bigger than you'd ever bet! So which star is the biggest of all? Astronomers are still measuring. ...See? Everybody needs a bigger ruler. That was big, bigger, Betelgeuse. And somewhere, an astronomer is still looking for a bigger ruler. Now, let's come all the way back down to Earth, to your dinner plate. Spaghetti, fusilli, farfalle. Everybody bring your shape. It's pasta parade Welcome to the pasta parade! Dress code: delicious. Spaghetti brings the long thin strings, Linguine brings the ribbons. Fusilli does a corkscrew dance, Then bumps into the lemons! Penne wears a slanted tip, Rigatoni, ridges! Macaroni bends its elbows, Making tiny bridges! Twirl, twirl, wiggle and bow, Everybody bring your shape somehow! Long or little, bent or straight, There's a whole parade upon my plate! Farfalle brings the butterflies, They look like little bow ties. Orecchiette, little ears, Can you hear the sauce? Surprise! Orzo looks like grains of rice, But pasta's what you're seeing. Ravioli, little parcels, Keep their filling from fleeing! Someone's wearing spaghetti as a wig. It's the conductor. Lasagna sheets make layer on layer, Tortellini rings arrive with flair. Conchiglie brings a shell-shaped boat, A basil leaf becomes its coat! Penne! Fusilli! Rigatoni! Farfalle! Ravioli! Macaroni! Twirl, twirl, wiggle and bow, Everybody bring your shape somehow! Long or little, bent or straight, There's a whole parade upon my plate! Please applaud the conductor. Not with your fork. Please applaud the conductor, but not with your fork. Now, a word puzzle. Some words read the same forwards and backwards. Noon. Wow. Race car. And one cat who is also a taco. It's Taco Cat Okay. Spell "tacocat." Now spell it backwards. T-A-C-O-C-A-T. Whoa. A palindrome's a word that you can flip around— Read it back to front, it's the same word you found! Noon is noon, and wow is wow, Mom is mom—try it now! A kayak paddles either way, And level's level every day! Hannah, Anna, Otto, Bob— Spell 'em backwards—good job! Tacocat! Tacocat! Spell it backwards—still tacocat! Left to right or right to left, It's the same both ways—how 'bout that? Tacocat! Tacocat! Now whole sentences! Skip the spaces, Skip the commas—just the letters in their places! "Was it a car or a cat I saw?" Backwards, too! "Never odd or even!" Backwards, too! "Step on no pets!" Backwards, too! And the famous one from nineteen forty-eight: "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!" Great! Tacocat! Tacocat! Spell it backwards—still tacocat! Left to right or right to left, It's the same both ways—how 'bout that? Tacocat! Tacocat! Wow! Aha! Racecar! Aha! Wow! Aha! Racecar! Aha! Wait! Numbers do it too: one-two-one— Eleven times eleven, that's how it's done! Check the clock at twelve twenty-one— Read it backwards, it's the same one! Even a date: oh-two, oh-two, twenty-twenty— Any way you write it, it's the same—how nifty! Nine ones, times nine ones, makes... One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! The tune goes up and comes back down the same— This bridge is a palindrome! That's the game! Tacocat! Tacocat! Spell it backwards—still tacocat! Left to right or right to left, It's the same both ways—how 'bout that? Tacocat! Tacocat! Spell it backwards—still tacocat! Wow! Aha! Racecar! Aha! Wow! Wow! Aha! Racecar! Aha! Wow! Okay. Spell "stressed" backwards. D-E-S-S-E-R-T-S. ...Desserts! I feel better already. Taco Cat. Forwards, backwards, still delicious. And now, one lemonade stand. Total value, $4, and a dream with 12 more zeros. Welcome to the Trillion Dollar Club Welcome to my company. Lemonade. Headquarters: the sidewalk. Total value... four dollars. And a lemon. I sell lemonade, a quarter a cup, Made four bucks today—yeah, I'm moving up! But the biggest companies play a bigger game: Worth a trillion dollars! Let me explain— A thousand's got three zeros, a million's got six, A billion's got nine, then add three to the mix: Twelve zeros—a trillion! Now that's an amount! A million millions, stacked up for the count! If you counted to a trillion, one number every second... it would take you about thirty-two thousand years. ...I'm gonna need a snack. Trillion-dollar club! Club! A million millions—that's a whole lot of dough! Write a one, then zero-zero-zero! Zero-zero-zero! Zero-zero-zero! Zero-zero-zero! Twelve zeros in a row— Trillion-dollar club! Club! Right now at the top, Nvidia's the name, Making chips for AI and your video games! Apple's got the iPhone, right there in your hand, Alphabet's got Google and YouTube—understand? Microsoft's got Windows, Xbox, Minecraft too, Amazon brings boxes right to you! TSMC in Taiwan makes the chips inside, SpaceX rockets, Meta goggles, Tesla rides! Trillion-dollar club! Club! A million millions—that's a whole lot of dough! Write a one, then zero-zero-zero! Zero-zero-zero! Zero-zero-zero! Zero-zero-zero! Twelve zeros in a row— Trillion-dollar club! Club! Trillion-dollar club! Club! Money coming in? That's called revenue— Amazon's number one, and Walmart's right there too: Seven hundred billion dollars, each, a year! And the biggest crew? It's Walmart, loud and clear: Over two million workers! Two million! That's a lot— More than any company on the planet's got! Every giant started tiny—here's the proof: Nvidia was planned in a Denny's booth! Amazon shipped books from a garage in the back, Google had a garage too—and look at 'em, stacked! Walmart began as a single store, So I'll squeeze these lemons, and I'll dream some more! Trillion-dollar club! Club! A million millions—that's a whole lot of dough! Write a one, then zero-zero-zero! Zero-zero-zero! Zero-zero-zero! Zero-zero-zero! Twelve zeros in a row— Trillion-dollar club! Club! Ka-ching! Ka-ching! Count it up! Count it up! So your company is worth... four dollars. Now I just need twelve more zeros. From the biggest companies on Earth to the biggest creatures that ever stomped across it. Long necks, sharp claws, and one very small surprise guest. Please raise a claw or a wing for Dinosaur Roll Call Dinosaur roll call! Please raise a claw. Or a wing. Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, strutting on two feet, Velociraptor's feathered coat is looking pretty neat. They're theropods! Stomp, stomp! Here comes something grand: A long-necked crowd of sauropods has joined our marching band! Diplodocus, Brachiosaurus, necks above the trees, Apatosaurus, big plant muncher, "Pass the salad, please!" Not every giant lived together, places, times apart, But in our make-believe parade, there's room for every heart! Stomp with the big ones, tap with the small, So many dinosaurs, welcome them all! Claws and feathers, horns and plates, Which one is waiting at the gates? Stegosaurus wears back plates, a spiky tail behind, Ankylosaurus brings a club, the tail-end kind! Triceratops, three face horns, and a frill on show, Parasaurolophus has a crest, now watch it go! Pterodactyl, you're a pterosaur. Different club. Excellent wings. But someone very tiny has arrived beside my shoe, A sparrow hops onto the stage and sings a little tune. Birds are living dinosaurs! The family carries on! The smallest singer in the band gets everybody's song! Stomp with the big ones, tap with the small, So many dinosaurs, welcome them all! Claws and feathers, horns and plates, A little bird is opening the gates! The sparrow would like a smaller microphone. Birds are living dinosaurs. And that sparrow still wants a smaller microphone. Next, the cat family. Lions, tigers, cheetahs, snow leopards, and one house cat on the couch who is absolutely sure she's a tiger. Big cat, little cat My cat thinks she's a tiger. Honestly? She's not totally wrong. The lion lives in a family pride, The only cats who hang out side by side. The tiger's the biggest, with stripes on its skin; The jaguar swims and the bite's where it wins. The leopard hauls its dinner up a tree; The snow leopard's tail is a scarf, you see— And here's a little secret that you might not know: The snow leopard can't roar! It just purrs in the snow. Big cat, little cat, whiskers and a tail, Pounce like a spring, walk soft on the trail! Roar or purr or chirp or meow— Big cat, little cat, all family now! The cheetah can't roar, but it chirps like a bird, The fastest on land—have you heard? The puma's got more names than any cat around: Cougar, mountain lion, and panther, I've found! The lynx has got tufts and big snowshoe feet; The caracal leaps up for a bird to eat. And a black panther? It's a jaguar or leopard in a dark disguise! Big cat, little cat, whiskers and a tail, Pounce like a spring, walk soft on the trail! Roar or purr or chirp or meow— Big cat, little cat, all family now! The serval's got long legs and satellite ears; The ocelot's spots have been sparkling for years. The sand cat has fur on the bottoms of its paws; The fishing cat dives in and fishes with its claws. Pallas's cat has the grumpiest face; The clouded leopard's got long fangs for its space— And on the couch, curled up in a ball... The littlest tiger of them all. Big cat, little cat, whiskers and a tail, Pounce like a spring, walk soft on the trail! Roar or purr or chirp or meow— Big cat, little cat, all family now! Roar or purr or chirp or meow— Big cat, little cat, all family now! She just knocked a glass off the table. Yep. Definitely a tiger. She knocked a glass off the table. Yep, definitely a tiger. Now we have an engineering problem. The picnic is over there, the pie is over here, and there's a river in between. Beams, arches, trusses. It's bridges. Get the pie across The picnic is over there. The pie is over here. We have an engineering problem. A beam lies across its supports, a simple place to start, An arch makes a curving path, each stone can play its part. A truss has lots of triangles, a framework strong and light, Our pie is getting restless. Let's get the crossing right! Get the pie across! Get the pie across! Over the water with nobody's filling lost! Big bridge, small bridge, reaching side to side, Build a way to get there, take the pie for a ride! Suspension bridges hang their road from cables curving high, Cable-stayed has straight ones to the towers in the sky. Cantilevers reach right out from where they're held in place, Our pie has put its goggles on. There's jam upon its face! Get the pie across! Get the pie across! Over the water with nobody's filling lost! Big bridge, small bridge, reaching side to side, Build a way to get there, take the pie for a ride! A drawbridge lifts a roadway so a boat can pass below, The traffic waits behind the gate, until it's time to go. Engineers plan carefully for loads and wind and rain, Now lower down the roadway and we're on our way again! Get the pie across! Get the pie across! Over the water with nobody's filling lost! Beam, arch, truss, we're arriving safe and sound, So why is everybody on the OTHER side now? They came over to help. We'll meet in the middle. Pie delivered. Everyone meets in the middle. Now, somebody drew one tiny picnic table, and somebody brought an excavator, and a bulldozer, and a dump truck. 16 machines, one very small lunch. Big machines, tiny picnic Let’s build a picnic spot. I brought some help! That’s… a LOT of help. Excavator curls its bucket, digs the ground. Bulldozer’s blade pushes piles around. Wheel loader scoops; dump truck takes the load. Backhoe loader, two jobs in one: Front bucket scoops; the back digs down. Trencher cuts a channel, narrow and long. I only drew a table… did I draw the scale wrong? The little picnic sketch is spreading down the street. Spotty brought a whole construction fleet! Dig it! Lift it! Roll it flat! Big machines are good at that! Move it! Build it! Make some room! Here comes the crew with a rumble-boom! Big job, little job—what do we need? The right tool for the job. That’s the key! Scraper cuts and carries soil, motor grader smooths. Asphalt paver spreads the mix to build the road. Road roller packs the layers, firm and slow. Concrete mixer turns its drum; the mix tumbles round. A path around a flower bed, a place to sit and talk— We asked for somewhere nice to eat. We’re getting a whole party! Dig it! Lift it! Roll it flat! Big machines are good at that! Move it! Build it! Make some room! Here comes the crew with a rumble-boom! Big job, little job—what do we need? The right tool for the job. That’s the key! Forklift lifts a pallet; telehandler reaches out. Skid-steer loader turns within a little patch of ground. Tower crane can lift the load up overhead. Scissor lift: a platform rising with the crew. Sixteen kinds of helpers, different jobs to do. Now park the mighty machines. There’s lunch for all the crew! One little pea has rolled away. Shall I bring the excavator? Wait. I’ve got a spoon. Dig it! Lift it! Roll it flat! Big machines are good at that! Big job, little job—what do we need? The right tool for the job. And a spoon for one pea! Best scoop of the day. Best scoop of the day. Best scoop of the day. Best scoop of the day. One little pea rolled away, so somebody grabbed a spoon. Next, a 3D printer that can print any shape. Sphere, cube, pyramid, and one very important question: What shape is a donut? A donut is a torus I built a 3-D printer. It can print any shape. Any shape at all. ...Let's test it! A sphere is a ball, like a marble or the Moon— Round every way, like a big balloon. A cube has six faces, all squares, like dice; A cylinder's a can, and a cone's ice cream—nice! A pyramid points up with a square at the base; A triangle prism's like a tent in a sunny place; A hexagon prism's like a pencil, long and thin— Or a honeycomb cell with the honey poured in! Faces, edges, corners, too— Every shape's got a shape for you! Round and flat and pointy, wow— Print it, print it, print it now! And what's a donut? It's a torus! What's a donut? It's a torus! Now here come the perfect dice, the fairest you can find: Every face and every corner match—just five of this kind! Four triangles make a tetrahedron, sharp and small; Six squares make a cube, you've seen it all; Eight triangles? Octahedron—watch it shine! Twelve pentagons: a dodecahedron—so fine! Twenty triangles: the icosahedron, rolling far— The only five perfect dice—and there they are! Faces, edges, corners, too— Every shape's got a shape for you! Round and flat and pointy, wow— Print it, print it, print it now! And what's a donut? It's a torus! What's a donut? It's a torus! Here's a secret trick that the mathematicians knew: Take the faces and the corners, then subtract the edges, too. On a cube: six plus eight, take twelve away... It's two! It's always two, on shapes like these, hooray! A cone, a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, a prism, whoa! The printer's printing faster and it's printing more, you know! Dodecahedron, icosahedron, one more try— It printed a donut! It's a torus! My, oh my! Faces, edges, corners, too— Every shape's got a shape for you! Round and flat and pointy, wow— Print it, print it, print it now! And what's a donut? It's a torus! What's a donut? It's a torus! I love geometry. It's delicious. Delicious geometry. Now let's go up, way up. Taipei 101, the Shanghai Tower, the Burj Khalifa, 828 meters tall, and all we brought to measure them is a banana. Sky high, going up I brought a ruler. Mine's a banana. This may take a while. Petronas towers, side by side, Kuala Lumpur, double the pride! Landmark Eighty-One, lift your eyes, Ho Chi Minh City, a stack in the skies. Lakhta Center! Saint Petersburg! My little ruler needs a growth spurt! Going up! Going up! Who put the clouds in the window? Going up! Going up! How far down does the ground go? So many shapes in a great big sky, Small little me with my eyes up high! Hong Kong! International Commerce Centre! Shanghai World Financial Center! Taipei One-Oh-One, tiers in a row, Beijing's CITIC Tower — up, up, up we go! Tianjin, Guangzhou, C-T-F— Two tall towers! Take a breath! Going up! Going up! Who put the clouds in the window? Going up! Going up! How far down does the ground go? So many shapes in a great big sky, Small little me with my eyes up high! One World Trade Center, New York City, Seoul! Lotte World Tower—still too tall for me! Shenzhen! Ping An Finance Center! Makkah's Royal Clock Tower—what a timekeeper! Shanghai Tower, a twisting sight, Merdeka One-Eighteen, reaching for the light! The world's tallest building! Burj Khalifa, Dubai—look up straight! Meters of height? Eight-two-eight! We count built-in spires when we compare, Not the extra antennas sticking in the air. We need a longer banana. Going up! Going up! Who put the clouds in the window? Going up! Going up! How far down does the ground go? So many shapes in a great big sky, Small little me with my eyes up high! How many bananas tall? Can't tell. I ate the ruler. How many bananas tall? We'll never know. Somebody ate the ruler. From the tallest buildings to the capital cities. Ottawa, Paris, Nairobi, Tokyo. A whole wall of postcards from around the world. Capitals of the World: Postcard Parade I promise to send you a postcard. I may have got carried away. Canada, Ottawa! U.S.A., Washington, D.C.! Mexico, Mexico City, with a postcard just for me. Cuba, Havana, put a stamp upon the top, A little tour of capitals, we've many more to stop! Brazil, Brasília! Peru, Lima, here we go! Argentina, Buenos Aires, Colombia, Bogotá! Every card a little window, every place a different day, I'm running out of pencils but I've plenty left to say! Postcard! Postcard! Pin it on the wall! One big world, a big hello for all! Every name a place where somebody calls home, A world of little hellos, wherever we may roam! France, Paris! Italy, Rome! Germany, Berlin! Spain, Madrid! More postcards, let the next verse in! A capital's a country's special government address, Not always its biggest city! More to learn, not less! Kenya, Nairobi! Ghana, Accra! Sing along! Senegal, Dakar! Morocco, Rabat! Keep it strong! Four of many capitals across this mighty place, Another card, another hello, another smiling face! Postcard! Postcard! Pin it on the wall! One big world, a big hello for all! Every name a place where somebody calls home, A world of little hellos, wherever we may roam! Japan, Tokyo! India, New Delhi! Here we fly! South Korea, Seoul! Thailand, Bangkok! Wave goodbye! My suitcase full of postcards has been growing rather wide, I think I'll need a second one to fit the stamps inside! Australia, Canberra! New Zealand, Wellington! Fiji, Suva! Samoa, Apia! What a run! Antarctica has no country's capital to send, So here's a penguin doodle for my very patient friend! Postcard! Postcard! Pin it on the wall! One big world, a big hello for all! Every name a place where somebody calls home, A world of little hellos, wherever we may roam! The postcards got home before I did. Please put the kettle on. A suitcase full of postcards and a penguin doodle for Antarctica. Now, a choice: a million dollars right now or one penny that doubles every day for 30 days. Choose wisely. Double it A million dollars, right now? Or one penny that doubles every day? For thirty days. ...I'll take the penny. Day one, one penny, shiny and small, Day two, two pennies—that's nothing at all! Day ten, five dollars—still kind of a joke, The million-dollar kid says, "Ha! You're broke!" Day twenty, five thousand—hey, look at that! Day twenty-eight, a million! Tip of the hat! All from one penny that doubled, slow-slow! Double it! Double it! Two, four, eight—keep going! Slow, slow, slow, slow... Whoa! Now look at it growing! Double it! Double it! Double it again! Take a sheet of paper, fold it in half, Every fold doubles it—go on, do the math! Most people get stuck at seven or so, But a high-school student folded twelve! Let's go! If you could fold it forty-two times, oh my, That paper would reach the Moon in the sky! Double it! Double it! Two, four, eight—keep going! Slow, slow, slow, slow... Whoa! Now look at it growing! Double it! Double it! Double it again! Two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two! Times two! Times two! Oh-oh! An old, old legend: a king and a board, "Inventor of chess, pick any reward!" "One grain of rice on the very first square, Then double it, square after square." But by square sixty-four—oh no, oh no— He'd owe more rice than the world could grow In hundreds of years! Whoa! Some two dozen rabbits let loose Down Under Became hundreds of millions—a hoppy blunder! Save up some money, and it earns a bit more, Then that more earns more—that's compounding, for sure! Slow, slow, slow... then whoa, whoa, whoa! Stack every loop, and here we go! Double it! Double it! Two, four, eight—keep going! Slow, slow, slow, slow... Whoa! Now look at it growing! Double it! Double it! Double it! Double it! Double it again! Two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two! Times two! Times two! Oh-oh! Day thirty. Let's count my penny. Five million... three hundred sixty-eight thousand... seven hundred nine dollars... and twelve cents. ...Can we do day thirty-one? One penny. More than $5 million. Never underestimate doubling. Now, some of the best inventions started with a mistake. A melted candy bar, a frozen soda, a spring that fell off a shelf. Oops, I invented it So... I broke something in the lab. But wait! Some of the best inventions started with an "oops." Eleven-year-old Frank left his soda out one night, With a stick in the cup—by morning it froze tight! He licked it, and he loved it, and he called it Popsicle! Then a spring fell off a shelf and it walked—that's the Slinky, a spectacle! Percy Spencer worked on radar, and the candy in his pocket went splat— It melted! So he built the microwave oven, just like that! Oops! I invented it! Didn't mean to, but I'm glad I did! When something goes wrong, don't run away— Look a little closer: it might change the world today! A glue that didn't stick so well sat on a shelf for years, Until a guy used it on bookmarks—Post-it notes! Three cheers! A putty meant for cleaning walls became a toy called Play-Doh; A goo from a rubber experiment bounced—that's Silly Putty, whoa! The Kellogg brothers left their cooked wheat out way too long— They rolled it into flakes, and breakfast came along! Oops! I invented it! Didn't mean to, but I'm glad I did! When something goes wrong, don't run away— Look a little closer: it might change the world today! Alexander Fleming found some mold that made a mess, But it stopped the germs around it—penicillin! What a success! Wilhelm Röntgen saw a glow he didn't plan— He'd found X-rays! Now doctors see inside your hand! And George came home from a hike with burrs all over his hound— Tiny hooks, seen up close, gave us Velcro, holding things down! Oops! I invented it! Didn't mean to, but I'm glad I did! When something goes wrong, don't run away— Look a little closer: it might change the world today! Look a little closer: it might change the world today! So what did I invent? ...A mess. But I'm looking closer! Look a little closer. It might change the world. Now look even closer. Right now, all around you, there's light you can't see: radio waves, microwaves, X-rays. Your eyes catch only a tiny slice. Light you can't see Right now, there's light all around you... that you can't see. Radio waves are the longest, some as long as a football field, Carrying songs to the radio—that's the music they yield! Microwaves are shorter; they wiggle water till it's hot, And your phone and Wi-Fi use them too, believe it or not! Infrared is heat you feel, glowing warm without a sight; Your TV remote flashes it—a secret beam of light! Some snakes can sense it, seeing warmth out in the dark; Night-vision cameras use it too—they find you like a spark! Light you can't see! All around you and me! Radio, microwave, infrared glow— Then a rainbow, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma—whoa! It's all the same light, just a different wave! Then comes the part that your eyes can find: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet in line! It's a tiny little slice of the whole big show, Just a sliver of the light—but it's the one we know! Light you can't see! All around you and me! Radio, microwave, infrared glow— Then a rainbow, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma—whoa! It's all the same light, just a different wave! Ultraviolet's just past violet—it's the light that makes you burn; Bees see it on flowers: secret landing strips—now you learn! X-rays zip right through your skin, but stop when they hit bone— That's how the doctor spots a break and checks on every bone! Gamma rays are the tiniest waves, with the most energy of all, Blasting out from exploding stars—way too far to call! Long waves, short waves, big and small, They all go the speed of light—the fastest of all. Your eyes see just a sliver, like a crack in a door, But the universe is glowing with so much more! Light you can't see! All around you and me! Radio, microwave, infrared glow— Then a rainbow, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma—whoa! It's all the same light, just a different wave! Wait. My TV remote shines invisible light? Can I use it as a flashlight? ...Only if you're a snake. You just saw the light you can't see. Now, let's catch the light you can. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and one disco ball that is definitely not a diamond. Catch the Light, The Gemstone Show I found a giant diamond! That's a disco ball. It’s still pretty. Ruby red, sapphire blue; Sapphire comes in other colors too. One mineral, corundum, two gem names; Different colors, family the same. Emerald, aquamarine, Morganite joins the beryl team. Green, sea-blue, pink on display— Three beryl beauties lead the way! Catch the light! Turn it round, turn it round! What a little world we found! Red and gold and green and blue— Look a little closer: something new! Some shine softly, some shine bright— Come on, come on, catch the light! Amethyst! Citrine! Rose quartz, too! Three quartz cousins wave hello to you. Purple, yellow, rosy pink— Closer cousins than you think. Diamond's made of carbon; little facets gleam. Kimpy's disco ball rolls through the beam. That giant shiny, shiny thing blocks half the view; The little gems would like a spotlight too! Catch the light! Turn it round, turn it round! What a little world we found! Red and gold and green and blue— Look a little closer: something new! Some shine softly, some shine bright— Come on, come on, catch the light! Garnet and spinel, step into the light; Peridot green, a fresh-lime sight. Topaz, tourmaline—colors in a row; Tanzanite blue-violet joins the show. Alexandrite can change its hue With a different light shining through. Moonstone's shimmer seems to glide; Some opals flash with colors inside. Lift that disco ball up high— Now our little gems can catch your eye! Catch the light, catch the light! Turn it round! What a little world we found! Red and gold and green and blue— Look a little closer: something new! Some shine softly, some shine bright— Come on, come on, catch the light! So, your disco ball isn't a gem. Nope. It's the lighting department. Every little gem got its moment in the spotlight. Now let's zoom all the way out. The first stars, our planet, the dinosaurs, people, and then finally, breakfast. The history of everything How long until breakfast? Well... first, the universe. About thirteen point eight billion years ago, A hot dense universe began to grow. Space kept stretching, cooling on the way, Then stars lit up. What a very big day! About four and a half billion years ago, Our Earth came together in a fiery glow. A crust and oceans, ages rolling by, Tiny life in water, underneath the sky. Long, long ago, then on we go, The world's got a story and it's still in the show! Turn another page, what will we see? A very long road to you and me! Life grew many branches, fishes in the sea, Plants spread over land where there hadn't been a tree. Dinosaurs arrived; little mammals lived there too, They didn't wait their turn for a dinosaur "Shoo!" Sixty-six million years ago, a dreadful asteroid came, The world changed quickly; it never was the same. Most dinosaurs were gone, but birds kept flying on, Mammals spread and changed beneath the rising Sun. Much, much later, humans, with stories, songs and art, We learned to ask our questions and we learned to play our part. And after all those ages, all that history somehow, Here we are together in the only little now. Long, long ago, then on we go, The world's got a story and it's still in the show! Turn another page, what will we see? A very long road to you and me! And finally... breakfast. Oh. My toast has gone cold. 13.8 billion years of history, and the toast still went cold. For our final song tonight, something very small. One acorn, one tiny chair, and a whole lot of patience. Seed to tree I put a little acorn in a little patch of ground, I whispered, "Are you busy?" but it didn't make a sound. I offered it a pillow and a very tiny chair. It didn't need the furniture. It needed water and air. Down go the roots, up goes the green, Something is happening I haven't seen. Slow little wonder, wherever you are, Small is a start. Small is a start. With warmth and water, waking, the seed begins to grow, A root goes reaching downward where the water waits below. A shoot goes reaching upward, little leaves unfold, I measure it with fingers. "You're three fingers old!" Down go the roots, up goes the green, Something is happening I haven't seen. Slow little wonder, wherever you are, Small is a start. Small is a start. Leaves use light and water and air to make their food, Roots bring water, minerals; the tree is in the mood! Years go by, the trunk grows wide, the branches spread their shade, A squirrel checks the acorns: "Look at all the lunch you've made!" Down go the roots, up goes the green, Look at the wonder that grew unseen. New little acorns, wherever you are, Small is a start. Small is a start. I still have the tiny chair. The squirrel wants it.
