[Intro]
Has he some

Dense and unstable
(Laugh if you’re able)

[Verse 1]
Heavier than it looks
(And it ain’t from reading books)
You barely have a half-life
(… the antonym of rife)

[Bridge]
Has he some
(Hassium)

[Chorus]
Dense and unstable
(Laugh if you’re able)
I suppose we should probe
(His various isotopes)

[Verse 2]
Solid as a rock (Rock solid)
He did what he did (He did)
… needs to get a life
(Macroscopic strife)

[Bridge]
Has he some

[Outro]
He is unable

ABOUT THE SONG
The densest unstable element is predicted to be hassium (element 108). While osmium and iridium are the densest naturally occurring, stable elements, hassium is a synthetic, highly radioactive element whose various isotopes have half-lives ranging from milliseconds to an estimated 11 minutes (for Hassium-277).

Scientists predict that hassium has an extremely high density of around 40.7 g/cm³ (grams per cubic centimeter). This is nearly double the density of osmium (22.59 g/cm³).

Due to its instability and short half-life, a macroscopic, visible quantity of hassium has never been produced or measured experimentally; its properties are based on predictions from its position in the periodic table and studies of a few atoms at a time.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE: Violent Rain
One physical result of warming is the formation of larger raindrops, as well as an increase in the number of raindrops falling per square foot. Momentum of Rain is defined by the equation p = mv (where p = momentum, m = mass, and v = velocity). Mass and velocity are part of a larger equation that includes density. Together, these variables increase the intensity of flow forces (flow dynamics). Wind and water flow forces scale with the square of velocity (v²). As flow speeds increase — due to heavier rain or more intense heating — damage scales as the square of that increase.

According to drag physics, force is proportional to density multiplied by the square of velocity (v²). For example:

  • A 20 mph wind exerts 4 times the force of a 10 mph wind.
  • A 40 mph wind exerts 16 times the force of a 10 mph wind.
  • A 50 mph wind exerts 25 times the force of a 10 mph wind.
  • A 60 mph wind exerts 36 times the force of a 10 mph wind.

Density further multiplies this force. Water is about 800 times denser than air, so a 10 mph flow of water exerts 800 times the force of a 10 mph wind. As flow velocities increase due to climate change, the resulting forces and damage scale exponentially. While the exact rate of velocity increases with climate change remains under study, we are already seeing the impacts as flood systems fail, sewage systems overflow, and hillsides collapse under the amplified force of violent rain and runoff.

ABOUT THE SONG
The densest known stable material is osmium, with a density of about22.5 9 g/cm3. Other extremely dense materials include iridium, platinum, and rhenium. If you include synthetic and less stable elements, hassium is estimated to be the densest element at around 40.7×103 kg/m3.

Densest stable elements

  • Osmium: 22.59 g/cm3
  • Iridium: 22.56 g/cm3
  • Platinum: 21.45 g/cm3
  • Rhenium: 21.02 g/cm3
  • Gold: 19.32 g/cm3
  • Tungsten: 19.25 g/cm3

ABOUT THE SONG

The new release of the day, “Face Down in the Dirt,” is a song of thanksgiving—an ode to the moment you realize just how deeply you love Mother Nature and the astonishing gift of being alive. Built around an acoustic rhythm guitar with piano, organ, and layered synthesizers, the track drifts between humility, humor, and heartfelt devotion.

The lyrics tell the story with a playful kind of reverence.
It opens with a confession:
“Hey! Mother Nature / Didn’t mean to flirt…”
but the narrator quickly admits where that flirtation leads—
“Here I lay… face down in the dirt.”
Rather than defeat, it’s a moment of awakening.

The recurring bridge, “Slipped (tripped) / Fell in love,” captures the accidental, irresistible pull toward the natural world—how easily we forget our place until we stumble right into it. Each repetition deepens the realization: love found not in triumph, but in humility.

By the end, the song leans fully into that surrender.
“Head over heels / Know how I fell / Came the day / We both lay / Face down in the dirt.”
It’s gratitude expressed through grounding—literally—recognizing that connection to the earth is both humbling and healing.

“Face Down in the Dirt” is a thanksgiving anthem for anyone who has ever been knocked down by life only to discover, in the soil and silence, something worth loving even more.
