Greydon Square - Omniverse lyrics
[Greydon Square - Omniverse lyrics]
Started at the foam as a quantum burst
On a journey from the
Planck through the omniverse
The shortest distance you can travel
At the speed of light
Watch me take the same path
As the neutrino’s flight
Shot forward, zooming past the top quark
Where the space-time and energy
Roads do not fork
I’ve been slept on since the electron
West born, home of the place they’ll
Leave your chest warm
Photonic crystals are my playthings
Rap at this scale spoken
At gamma ray wavelengths
Blaze beats, on my way to H3
Unstable combustible isotopes at great heat
Fluid like a mickey mouse molecule
Breaking down all atomic rules
On the follow through
I traverse the alpha helix
On the way to complex chemistry
You’re bound to see it
Deoxyribonucleic secrets in the deep end
As I keep the beat and
Sow the seeds of reason
The only heathen that can
Bring you cell replication
Shoot questions dead through the
Barrel of investigation
Separation, 2 strands
Puffin' chiba with amoeba
Debating which came first
Consciousness or the creature with tapeworms
Cannabis tea poured from Russell’s teapot
To toast, to every person to ever win an EGOT
Pack a stadium, the size of a coliseum
Skyscrapers, high risers, tetrahedrons
Give me a beat and an ounce of leaf
And I’ll show you things from the
Crease of the mountain peaks
Stay artful as I chop
Countries to state parcells
Leave the planet completely
Become a space marshall
On the red planes exploring the Mars dunes
Scrutinize asteroid debris and small moons
Who you talkin' to? I spit the cold fission
Visit every world near then
Leave the solar system only one of many
All the space in between here and there is
Cold and much of it is empty
Still come across a nebula or two
A couple of parsecs and we’ve only gone a few
The void we launch into, from Orion’s arm
Starships, galaxy class we’re flying on
Galactic following barely known in
The local group
Training all alone near large
Voids evoking truth
Take it in, let it sober you
As we go out to get a
Better seat of the overview
An ocean of space engulfing you
With so many superclusters they’re
Singular in multitude
Every single one from Leo to Pavo-Indus
I’ve traveled it all from Columba to Ophiucus
I break jaws with the Great Wall
Of galaxies and filaments that would face all
One existence of distances that
You might fear from end to end that’s over
A billion light years
In a sea of universes it’s a bubble in
And this is from a human’s
Perch at the Hubble length
At scales like this I find it troubling
How can I describe one branch
When there are other limbs?
Fleeing singularities while they’re doubling
Coming out to face a multiverse
Right in front of him
Nowhere to hide, the vast smothers him
A Graham's number of gigaparsecs
To the upper rim
Hyper realms absent temporal cause
Every unique cosmic set with
Different physical laws
Plus every species capable of computation
Probably has supercomputer run simulations
With a population trying to explain it
With it's own Dr gates and it's own language
Dirty windshields hinder our comprehension
While tracking down great attractors
Aiming for ascension from here
The multiverses look like sheets of paper
In a library of books near
The speed of lasers
Xeno structures that are even greater
Built from every fundamental thing
You’d see in nature
At a hyper glance you wouldn’t even notice
The beauty of the balance damn they
Should have sent a poet
The omni, the top of the hierarchy
Where all modes are in play
Even the Aum probably
Cyclical birth, life, and death
Of a whole entire cosmos where
Your old life’s a speck
Of probability, swallowed by infinity
Existing longer than all cosmological history
Swallowed by infinity
Existing longer than all cosmological history
In nature, you’re right!
And then perhaps our human affinity for this
Is a reflection of what nature does
Because nature uses symmetry in
Enormous numbers of places
For the shape of a flower, a snowflake
Any place where we humans look out
And we find something beautiful
If you analyze it long
Enough you’ll probably figure
Out that we’re looking at a symmetric image
But then nature turns around and
Pulls a trick on us because if the world
Were perfectly symmetrical:
We could not exist
And so nature in the end breaks symmetries
And it turns out that it is by
The breaking of those symmetries that
The laws apparently… of nature that
Allow human beings to exist
Occur in the way that they do
