DNL Physics, Seconde
Epic Rap Battles of History
Albert Einstein Vs Stephen Hawking
Questions
Einstein
When I apply my battle theory minds are relatively
blown
So take a seat Steve
Opp, I see you brought your own
What’s with your voice?
I can’t freaking tell
You sound like WALL-E
Having sex with a Speak & Spell
I’ll school you anywhere
MIT to Oxford
All your fans will be like:
“um, that was Hawk-ward”
I’m as dope as two rappers
You better be scared
Cause that means Albert E
Equals M C squared
Hawking
You’ve got no idea what you’re messing with here boy
I got 12 inch rims on my chair, that’s how I roll y’all
You look like someone glued a mustache on a troll
doll
I’ll be stretching out the rhyme, like gravity stretches
time
When you try to put your little p-brane against this
kind of mind
I’m the best
I’m the Snoop Dogg of Science
I’ll be dropping mad apples on your head from the
shoulder of giants
Einstein
I’m a giant whose shoulders you’d have stood on, if
you could stand
I’ll give you a brief history of pain with the back of my
hand
You can’t destroy matter or me, for serious
Ripping holes in you bigger than the hole in your black
hole theory was
Hawking
There are 10,000,000
Million, million, million, million, million, million,
million, million, million, particles in the universe that
we can observe
Your mama took the ugly ones and put them into one
nerd
You wanna bring the heat
With the mushroom clouds you’re making
I’m about to bake raps from scratch, like Carl Sagan
And while it’s true
That my work is based on you
I’m a super computer
You’re like a TI-82
This is referring to a famous Eintein’s theory, which one ?
What is the joke here?
What is the problem with Stephen W Hawking’s voice?
Do you know Wall-E?
“Speak and spell” is a toy with a speech synthesizer.
What are “MIT” and “Oxford”?
Do you get the wordplay?
“Squared” means “au carré” so do you get the wordplay?
“rim” = jantes
Do you understand the reference?
What does “pea” mean?
An apple which falls, does it mean something to you?
What is the reference of “shoulders of giants”?
What is the reference of “a brief history of pain”?
What is one of Hawking’s most important subjects of study?
See with the teacher.
I hope you see the reference.
Carl Sagan was a physicist who said :
“If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent
the universe”
Who has a TI-82?
What is the game Hawking is playing during the battle?
