In classical mechanics, linear momentum or translational momentum (pl. momenta; SI unit kg•m/s, or, equivalently, N•s) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object:
Like velocity, linear momentum is a vector quantity, possessing a direction as well as a magnitude. Linear momentum is also a conserved quantity, meaning that if a closed system is not affected by external forces, its total linear momentum cannot change. Although originally expressed in Newton's second law, the conservation of linear momentum also holds in special relativity and, with appropriate definitions, a (generalized) linear momentum conservation law holds in electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and general relativity. In relativistic mechanics, non-relativistic linear momentum is further multiplied by the Lorentz factor.
William Sanford "Bill" Nye (born November 27, 1955), popularly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, is an American science educator, comedian, television host, actor, mechanical engineer, and scientist. He is best known as the host of the Disney/PBS children's science show Bill Nye the Science Guy (1993–1998) and for his many subsequent appearances in popular media as a science educator.
William Sanford Nye was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Jacqueline (née Jenkins; c. 1920–2000), a codebreaker during World War II, and Edwin Darby "Ned" Nye (died 1997), also a World War II veteran whose experience in a Japanese prisoner of war camp led him to become a sundial enthusiast. Nye is a fourth-generation Washington, D.C. resident on his father's side of the family. After attending Lafayette Elementary and Alice Deal Junior High in the city, he was accepted to the private Sidwell Friends School on a partial scholarship, graduating in 1973. He studied mechanical engineering at Cornell University, where one of his professors was Carl Sagan, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 1977. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by The Johns Hopkins University in May 2008. In May 2011, Nye was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree from Willamette University where he was the keynote speaker for that year's commencement exercises.

Verse 1:
Oh, for the sake of momentum
I've allowed my fears to get larger than life
And it's brought me to my current agendum
Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive
Chorus:
And I know life is getting shorter
I can't bring myself to set the scene
Even when it's approaching torture
I've got my routine
Verse 2:
Oh, for the sake of momentum
Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day
But I hate to think of effort expended
All those minutes and days and hours
I have frittered away.
Chorus
And I know life is getting shorter
I can't bring myself to set the scene
Even when it's approaching torture
I've got my routine
Bridge 1:
But I can't confront the doubts I have
I can't admit that maybe the past was bad
And so, for the sake of momentum
I'm condemning the future to death
So it can match the past.
Bridge 2:
when I can't confront the doubts I have
I can't admit that maybe the past was bad
And so, for the sake of momentum
I'm condemning the future to death
So it can match the past.
Did you really think that I was born yesterday'
Like I would never find the reasons why you fled the
scene and left me
Well I hope you choke on every word that you say
Cause your reasons don't just make all these problems
go away
Everybody knows, everybody knows
You're gonna get what you deserve
When you turn on your friends
You lose more than you planned
Everybody knows, Everyone knows
You had a future but it slipped through your hands
Your first shot's becoming your last
Now that you've lied to everyone else here but me
I had started to feel like I've been missing out on
something
I hope you choke on every word you say
Cause your reason don't make
Everybody knows, everybody knows
You're gonna get what you deserve
When you turn on your friends
You lose more than you planned
Everybody knows, everyone knows
You had a future but it slipped through your hands
Your first shot's becoming your last
With friends like you, who needs an enemy
With friends like you, who needs an enemy
You let me bleed, it's unforgivable
What you've done to me
You gone and changed it all
You're not the man you used to be
It's not that I don't get it, believe me I do
I've had to walk more than a mile in your shoes
These thoughts they tear a hole in my chest
A decade wasted cause of your selfishness
Everybody knows, everybody knows
You're gonna get what you deserve
When you turn on your friends
You lose more than you planned
Everybody knows, everyone knows
You had a future but it slipped through your hands
Your first shot's becoming your last
Your time will come, you'll get what you deserve
Your time will come, you'll get what you deserve
Fear in your eyes is all I see. Your weakness is a sign of defeat. I've been here before. This is nothing new, but my stomach is in knots from thinking of what I'll do. A bead of sweat is dripping from my head. My addrenaline's high, and my fists are clenched. I've thought of this all fucking night. My anger wants me to end your life. My mission is to fucking destroy you, bury you where demons haunt you. I'll take it away. I'll ruin you, and I don't give a fuck what the consequence is. I will destroy, I will destroy, I will destroy you. You think you had your rise, I'm here to deliver your fall. You showed me your hand, now it's my turn to call
Abandoned in exile
A veil to conceal
What on eath could be worse than
not to know what you feel
A piece of me still holding on
to what is lost
and gone
You know every liar will burn in my fire
and still I keep asking me why do you lie to me?
You know every liar will burn in my fire
and still I keep asking me what do you want from me?
So desperate with grace
A disguise to protect
Still no words to describe
what it is that I feel
A piece of me still holding to what is lost
and gone
Your soul consolation
is the time that goes by
and the only companions:
the grimaces of life
Did it hurt now to end here
or is the pain more distinct
Was it worth to give in now
All by myself, writing another page
A list of deep thoughts to deal with what
Was unfair
But I can't believe I'm sober
And the pain is flowing through
Knowin' that within my soul a regret digs
The deepest hole
Over and over, still sober
Bearing the sacrifice, unholy paradise
That's why I will surrender
I shouldn't have trust the lie
It's sad I have tried
What am I gonna do?
Just another quick addiction
Is not what I wanted
You will understand
I'll learn how to heal myself
A cut needs to mend
Erase, destroy and repent?
And I can't help but take cover
From the storm we are sailing through
Drowning in a sea of regrets
Falling in lake of fire
Lie's over. I've been there.
I can trust myself, I have paid my amend
Can you live with the remembrance?
I can trust myself, me and no one else
Will you fear the consequences?
No you won't
What are you gonna do?
Bearing the sacrifice, unholy paradise
It will be the reason why
I shouldn't have trust the lie
It burns like a fire
What am I gonna do
Beginning to move
Slowly changing
Cells connect
The sum of the parts
Process quickens
Continues to grow
Never ceasing
Getting stronger
Getting louder
The pulse of life
The heart beating
Quantum motion
Power taking over
Energy flowing
Gaining momentum
Like the beat of drums
Like the beat of drums
Slowly decreasing
Decelerating
Slowing down
Losing momentum
Losing momentum
I Still Can't Sleep Sometimes
I Saw God That Day
Can't Get Out On Borrowed Time
Watch It Flow Away
If I Don't Wake Up
If I Don't, If I Can't Make The Change
I Try To Take Up There's No Way To Escape, Get Away
Don't You Walk Out Don't Look At Me
No, I'm Not Blinded But I Just Can't See
Some Thing You Can't Push Away
Still Don't Eat Sometimes
My Thoughts Run Away
And If I'm Drowning
Will You Help Me
I'm Here Just In Time To See
You Regret, You're Not Hearing Me
You Descend, To Your End
Not A Friend, Think Again
Back To When You Were So...
Lost And Losing Sleep I See
You Knew It Wasn't Far
Don't Shift The Blame On Me
You Knew About This All Along
And You Thought You Were Strong
Six Years, Six Months, Six Weeks
Six Days, Still Times To Go
You Never Know What Comes
Until Tomorrow Lets You Know
If I Could Make You Understand
If I Knew What To Say
Life Is Full Of Changes
They Don't Always Go Your Way
Six Years, Six Months, Six Weeks
Six Days, Still Times To Go
You Never Know What Comes
Until Tomorrow Lets You Know
If I Could Make You Understand
If I Knew What To Say
Life Is Full Of Changes
They Don't Always Go Your Way
These words are like paper ships
On the river of your attention
Sent to reach your ocean
And sink into its depths
Its water may help to unfold them
And its salt may wash their letters
Into the very meaning of who can see
The scene described right now
These words are like paper ships
On the river of your attention
Sent to reach your ocean

Somebody said you better let go
'Cause they said so
But I could never let this thing go
Don't they even know what that means
They call me obscene
Say I wear my faith on my sleeve
But I ain't here to seek no glory
End of story, I know the judge and the jury
People always gotta ask who, what, when, and why
But never wanna step to the light
So I hear you say you wanna come and get some
Should I mention I got your attention
Know that I'm a man on a mission, my position is
Momentum
Been on a roll for two thousand years or so
We've got momentum baby
Livin' on the edge of obnoxious
They call me raucous
I'm a freak, I can't stop this
Ardently enthused about God
No hand-me-down nod
Your gonna get all I got
High-steppin' from the twenty on in
Knees to my chin
I'm rollin' deep in momentum
Burnin' with the hard core flame
No shame in this game
I'm followin' my heart not my brain
Been on a roll
Cause we got souls that won't die
And this party ain't over 'til we take flight
You've been told that we come bold on this side
You ain't never known the dilly 'til we testify
Cause have you ever heard of turnin' water into wine
And have you ever heard of givin' sight back to the blind
It's undeniable we're droppin' the Truth on this track
Why am I walking barefoot
Upon this road with no one around
I close my eyes to this decision
The night's like coffee to my tongue
Like waking up without a sound
I map the words out
Maybe you will say them
Won't you help me rise up
Touch my face and watch me try to breathe again
Would you let me do this
Burn down the final wall
Overcome me, baby
Overcome me, baby
Overcome me, baby
Overcome me, yeah
All I'm asking is to be alive
For once
Always I am mistaken
I look for love, I find a stone
Of all the seasons, winter befriends me
I come to you in friendship
And hold my breath against the snow
What are you thinking as I gaze into you
Forgive me the confusion
Forgive me as I realize my thoughts betrayed
You are the answer
Cry and smile the same
Overcome me, baby
Overcome me, baby
Overcome me, baby
Overcome, yeah
All I'm asking is to be
All I'm asking is to be
Alive
Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby
Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby
Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby
(overcome me)
Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby
(overcome me)
Overcome
Overcome
Overcome
Overcome
All I'm asking is to be
You are the dark ocean bottom
And I am the fast sinking anchor
Should I fall for you
You are the scar on my tissue
That I show all of my new friends
Should I show you me
All we need is a little bit of momentum
Breakdown these walls that we've built around ourselves
All we need is a little bit of inertia
Breakdown and tell breakdown and tell
That you are the rain on the fire
Deep in the trees when no one was looking
Should I speak of this
You are a mirage in the distance
That defies the heat of the desert
Should I believe in you
These rules are made to break and these walls are built to fall

The world sags beneath our weight
Parasites, we suck it dry
Like rats lost in a maze
Stupid creatures born to die
There is no destiny
No higher hand of fate
No place in history
Just eternity to waste
We collide
Then break away
Our lives
Are just momentum
We attract
Because we can't
Turn back
It's all for nothing
Search for meaning from above
Assemble random events
To support the myth of life
It's just cause and effect
We turn our backs on reason
Deny our inevitable ends
Narcissistic hypocrites
It's our last defense
Somebody said you better let go
'Cause they said so
But I could never let this thing go
Don't they even know what that means
They call me obscene
Say I wear my faith on my sleeve
But I ain't here to seek no glory
End of story, I know the judge and the jury
People always gotta ask who, what, when, and why
But never wanna step to the light
(chorus)
So I hear you say you wanna come and get some
Should I mention I got your attention
Know that I'm a man on a mission, my position is
Momentum, baby
Been on a roll for two thousand years or so
We've got momentum, baby
Been on a roll for two thousand years or so
We've got, we've got momentum
Been on a roll for two thousand years or so
We've got momentum, baby
Been on a roll, we've got the mo
We've got the momentum for show
Livin' on the edge of obnoxious
They call me raucous
I'm a freak, I can't stop this
Ardently enthused about God
No hand-me-down nod
You're gonna get all I got
High-steppin' from the twenty on in
Knees to my chin
I'm rollin' deep in momentum
Burnin' with the hard core flame
No shame in this game
I'm followin' my heart, not my brain
(repeat chorus)
We'll we've been on a roll
Cause we got souls that won't die
And this party ain't over 'til we take flight
You've been told that we come bold on this side
You ain't never known the dilly 'til we testify
Cause have you ever heard of turnin' water into wine
And have you ever heard of givin' sight back to the blind
It's undeniable we're droppin' the Truth on this track
Cause once you start an avalanche there ain't no turnin' back
The pedestrian auto walkway
Rushes on and it's crowded today
See the jets as they jump behind you
And the light from the street it blinds you now
Neon buzz and the smell of Bombay
There's a lady who stopped; she's so afraid
And the business men fall into her
With black cases flying she goes down
You've got some new momentum
You better keep on going
Tomorrow soon will be your yesterday
You've got some new momentum
You better keep on going
You've got to move to make it all the way
So you feel like you crashed God's party
And it's winding down to doomsday
How he used to call upon you
Now the wind is gone and it's got you down
But He is still in the midst of your mayday
Crying out don't stop, don't be afraid
Keep on pressing through the changes
The momentum that's moved you will not stop now
You've got some new momentum
You better keep on going
Tomorrow soon will be your yesterday
You've got some new momentum
You better keep on going
There's one who's going to take you all the way
You've got some new momentum
You better keep on going
Tomorrow soon will be your yesterday
You've got some new momentum
Move forward always knowing
You are the dark ocean bottom
And I am the fast sinking anchor
Should I fall for you
You are the scar on my tissue
That I show all of my new friends
Should I show you me
All we need is a little bit of momentum
Breakdown these walls that we've built around ourselves
All we need is a little bit of inertia
Breakdown and tell breakdown and tell
That you are the rain on the fire
Deep in the trees when no one was looking
Should I speak of this
You are a mirage in the distance
That defies the heat of the desert
Should I believe in you
These rules are made to break and these walls are built to fall
These rules are made to break us all
With egos swelled, our minds are spent
So fixed on our entitlements
Yet we deserve nothing after all
An imminent system collapse
We've reached a point of no turning back
We can't keep on pretending nothing's wrong
Nothing can stop our momentum
The self-inflictions we've endured
But we can't stop begging for more
Oscillate between a rise and fall
The forces of a thousand years
We'll close our eyes and disappear
Sediment upon sediment
Lapping like waves at my spine
To linger in this fury
You versus I
Welcome opponent
You versus I
Negation in smothering grip
To behold and despise
Yet if I strain my eyes
I still glimpse an unspun
Mile of lies between us
So tread lightly
My enemy
Sediment upon sediment
Lapping like waves at my spine
To linger in this fury
You versus I
Welcome opponent
You versus I
Negation in smothering grip
To behold and despise
Yet if I strain my eyes
I still glimpse an unspun
Mile of lies between us
So tread lightly
