“They’re last recorded album and they went out on top. What an album and what a band.”

I agree 100%

The song was well taken in the physics department because we were sure it referred to Maxwell’s Equations.

I read where George Harrison just hated this song because of Paul’s insistence on practicing it over and over again.

One of my favorites on Abbey Road is the song “Because The World Is Round”.
Gold plated harmonies, wonderful phrasings of sound from beginning to end. Its a song that rests long within your head. Mostly a Lennon composition.

I remember when I introduced The Beatles to my little son this was his favorite song.

That was filler for the "White Album",

EIGHT MINUTES of Filler. It seems like half of the tracks are filler, maybe more if you don't like McCartney dance hall numbers (e.g. Martha My Dear). With that much filler they had no business making a double album.

I am not a fan of Yoko Ono, but this song did more to break up the Beatles than she ever did.

There’s a lot of truth to that Paul spent a lot of time on this song and the other Beatles reaction to it was a factor in Paul deciding to leave.

It wasn’t filler. Lennon was quite serious about it. The others begged him not to put it on a Beatles album, but he insisted.

Maxwell’s Equations.

The phrase "pataphysical science" was a pretty clever line, I figure. I only recently connected that with the Spanish "pato", duck, and subsequently "quack science".

Whether that's on the mark or not, I've just read that "pataphysics" means "the science of imaginary solutions", and was a real term used to make fun of science. Radical.

Radical? Maybe. Complex? Definitely!

Wait ... imaginary ... radical ... complex ... are you saying there's some #real science to "pataphysical" after all?
