It's ironic but he came up with the mathematics which underpin all of modern physics and almost nobody has ever heard of him. Emmy Noether is the same, her symmetries form the backbone for all modern physics yet and almost no-one outside of physics has ever heard of her.

I want to believe that in another universe, an alternate branch of time where the musical science wave function collapsed just slightly differently, THIS is what's playing on Broadway and winning Tony awards

Perhaps consciousness creates simulations at will to do the computations and see which realities survive (consistency checks). Keep dreaming about these wonderful universes. The probability that we end up in such an awesome universe is dependent on it. I have a theory that we shouldn't waste time asking questions like "Is Warp Drive possible," and just assume it is. Because we will probably end up creating it if we do, but if we don't, we'll never find out. Someday, there will be Science musicals on broadway. You'll see.

Every time I write down a Hamiltonian or see a Hamiltonian in any paper I automatically start singing "my name is William Rowan Hamilton, and no one uses my quaternions, but just you wait..." :)) this happens several times a day lol. Great job. I LOVE this parody.

Purely because of this song, I impressed one of my favorite professors (who I hadn't had a class with yet, but had chatted with several times because he is cool and gets very animated talking about subjects he finds interesting) a few years ago. He mentioned his son, Rowan, and I asked if he was named for the tree. My prof answered, no, he's named after William Rowan Hamilton. I then said something about quaternians or i j k, and he was quite shocked that I knew who he was talking about. I then showed him this video.

About 2017 I learned about Hamiltonian mechanics in university. At that time I was totally obsessed with Hamilton's life and his way of thinking due to this song. For an exercise-sheet I solved a rotational geometric problem using quaternions instead of using a spherical coordinate system. The tutor added a little smilie to my solution. ^-^ It may not have been much; but it was honest work.

Woooooo it's out! Thanks for inviting me to sing in this, I had a real blast and it's come out so so well. Would love to sing with y'all more in the future! P.S. Love the Airy disk reference ;)

This is such a great song, gives me goosebumps every time.

Hi! I love this song, and I wanted to tell you something great that just happened. I listen to music while working on things, because it helps me concentrate, so I had a playlist going while working on a mathematical model, and I was on this song while nearly getting it to work, and sang along while writing the last couple lines of code I needed, and the song got to a big part just as I got it to work!

As a Biology lover, I thought it is William Donald Hamilton. Someone should make a song on William Donald Hamilton too.

That was amazing! Great job all of you, and especialy to you, Tim, for putting it all together.

He is not truly unsung, not anymore, now Mr Hamilton is the well sung hero of physics.
