The other day I was listening to the radio and I heard some lyrics that were inaccurate, physically speaking. The words were "the work I've done trying to move this immovable wall..."
These words are incorrect according to equation work=force x distance. No work is being done on the wall if it does not move any amount of distance. While work may be done with the person's muscles, no work is being done to the wall if the wall does not move even if he is pushing with all the force in the world. It is pretty amazing that I am hearing physics in music I listen to. I never thought I would think about school things when listening to music. That shows you anything is possible. I think I will try not to write anything physically inaccurate in my songs unless it gives another dimension to my music and I recognize it.
