MrLundScience | L-Unit - "You Got My Photo" (M87 Black Hole Rap) @MrLundScience | Uploaded May 2019 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
On April 10th, 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope Team shared with the world the results of a decade long project - the first photograph of a black hole. This tremendous achievement is to be celebrated world wide as one of the shining moments in scientific history of this century. It definitely deserved its own Hip Hop track, if nothing else, to say "thank you" for their hard efforts. Through their work, we were all able to peek behind the cosmic curtain.

Lyrics:
You Got My Photo
Hook:
Been playing hide and seek since Einstein predicted me.
An implication of your general relativity.
Now I'm the single most known singularity.
I am your black hole. You got my photo.
I'm the grand event. Always been on the horizon.
Since 1915, astronomers been trying to find 'em.
Searching the Ursas (Major, Minor), Cassiopeia, Orion,
To catalog among the stars, the one thing aint never shining.
Infinite density. No photon goes on from me.
Enterprise at warp speed inside my reach can't breach my gravity.
Shout out to EHT. Intergalactic paparazzi.
You got your page in history 'cause now we've seen the unseen.
(Hook)
With reports filed simultaneous,
Calculate my Schwarzschild radius.
Get close enough, I get dangerous.
I'm the space time chunk that made the fuss.
First computer mapped super mass.
No longer disputed fact.
At my center, both future and past
Are trapped in my time warp grasp.
Galaxy M87, that's my slice of the heavens
Where my accretion disk beckoned A photographic expression.
Not to mention new inventions, fine tuned and used for my detection.
From a patent clerk to Captain Kirk, it worked, and now I am legend.
(Hook)
