Sir Isaac Newton:
Of all the scientific minds in history,

They put Beaker in a bow tie up against me?

I'm a master, I discovered gravity,

I drop rhymes like they're falling from an apple tree,

You're no match for me, you got a Bach Degree

I got a unit of force named after me,

You wanna battle, guy? That's a crazy notion,

When I start flowing, I stay in motion!

First law! Did you catch that? Or did it go too fast to detect?

Perhaps it'd be better if I added in a "bleep" or a "bloop" or another wacky sound effect,

I was born on Christmas, I'm God's gift

I unlocked the stars that you're dancing with.

You waste time debating creationists,

While I create the science you explain to kids!

Bill Nye:
Yes it's true, what I used to do is teach kids science on my PBS show.

But now I do what I gotta do to make sure scientific thought can grow!

And I'm still in my prime, hitting my stride.

What'd you do with the back half of your life?

You freaked out, started counting coins for the bank and you sure didn't have no wife! (ooh!)

You wrote the book on gravity, but you couldn't attract nobody!

Your work on orbits was exemplary, but your circle of friends was shoddy. (oh!)

You don't wanna mess with the guy, Bill Nye.

Why? I rap sharp like a needle in your eye! (oh)

Stick to drinking that mercury.

Cause I hypothesize that you're about to get beat!

Sir Isaac Newton:
Well, I conclude that your methods are the wackest

You wouldn't even pass in one of my classes.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

Except for when we both start rapping.

I accelerated the minds of mankind to a higher plane of understanding

And I can calculate the weight and the size and the shape of the shadow of the mind you're standing in

And I will leave with a page from a book I wrote at half your age to rebut

The integral sec y dy from zero to one-sixth of pi is log to base e of the square root of three times the sixty-fourth power of what?

Neil deGrasse Tyson:
Why don't you pick on a brain your own size?

We got a badass over here, plus I got your back, Nye.

Astrophysics black guy, Hayden Planetary fly

By the way, the answer to your little calculation is i

As in I put the swag back in science

While Isaac Newton was lying and sticking daggers in Leibniz.

And hiding up inside his attic on some Harry Potter business

The Universe is infinite, but this battle is finished.
