Are you tired of hearing abouthow awesome it isthat we ’ve discoveredgravitational waves ? LIGO is so last month , correct ? Here ’s something to make the topic seem fresh and grand again : a delightful a cappella takeoff medicine video recording , set to the tune of The Weeknd ’s “ Ca n’t palpate My Face , ” by A Capella Science .
A Capella Science is the creation of purgative aficionadoTim Blais .

He got the melodic theme for A Capella Science while dilly-dally one night over his lord ’s thesis in drawstring theory .
The outcome was “ Rolling in the Higgs , ” a spoof of Adele ’s “ Rolling in the Deep , ” about the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson . Blais had no idea it would go viral . “ If I ’d known so many masses would see that video , I would have whistle it better , ” he confess . He ’s been making a cappella pasquinade videos ever since , spending a good 200 hour of body of work on each one .
establish his love for purgative , it ’s not surprising that his up-to-the-minute campaign is all about LIGO and the chirp heard ‘ flesh out the world — the first direct detection of gravitational wave , and the first grounds for binary bootleg holes . Check it out :
And here ’s his classic parody of Queen ’s “ Bohemian Rhapsody , ” inspired by his victor ’s thesis , for good standard ( “ Bohemian Gravity ” ) .
