If you were to Zoom in phase-out,
move in focus on this Human whose cells magnify
as you fly through them, and see
Atoms, looming but you keep shooting past
protons, bosons, quarks til even a part of a particles too big Then
BOOM an end to the intrusion As you hit the resolution of the
universe the strands of its fabric the tiniest fragment the planck length,
past that, Gravity becomes fallacy, try contrasting that with the
galaxies try to grasp the huge magnitude of the universe it's unimaginable.
But let's try anyway.
If that insane length was one dollar bill
Then to reach the wavelength of the smallest particles
Quarks, that are so fundamental
they don't have an inherent size would be the current price you'd gain if you
sold Mount Everest made out of gold.
That is insane.
if you applied the Midas touch to my mind it'd be quite enough to buy a car to drive
And the gluons and 3 quarks combined make a large hadron those guys collide;
a proton and to magnify to that size would turn that Midas mountain
into a diamond my mind made of that could buy you an island
and next we ramp up, from quarks and protons to atoms,
atoms the fractions of matter the ones that that grant us our mass, and
if that quark was counted every time you take a
single breath you'd respire Midas mountains then
until your death
and if that life was compressed into one lock of hair then as we
climb / up the rest of these atomic stairs then we'd pass
DNA when we get to my red streak and the size of our cells
we equate to every hair on my head...
Sometimes you make me feel so small Can't comprehend your size
Yet I'm a giant in your eyes
If we took my head of hair that a cell represents
lifetimes of Midas Everest breaths and then you would stretch it out to the skyline,
again and again
you'd find circle round the earth 10 times before you meet me... and you.
Right here the reach of a human, a meter or two and if we were to choose
one song to represent those horizons, an MP3 on our
device then to reach the size of the earth compared to like our size
that's a terabyte hard drive filled with our files
it seems immense And if we compress that collection to one
word
to represent our world, then scaling coefficients from the planet to the solar system
would let me re-read the whole of deathly hallows
awesome.
And then to travel between stars as we take to the skies
Would be 10 times every word you'll ever say in your life
And as an analogy of the expanse of galaxies up in space
10 times the total of every word in every book ever made
And to move up to the scale of galaxy clusters would be every word said by everyone in Shanghai,
in London Berlin, Delhi, LA, Mumbai, Sao Paulo and Moscow
Jakarta, Karachi, Dubai, Telford, Tokyo and Stockholm
And then to galaxy superclusters in the large-scale structure
with filaments that feel inadequately described as humungous
since if we stay with the scale of Earth as a word that equates
to all the words everyone alive today will ever say
finally we reach the biggest physical thing we can confirm
The indescribable size of the observable universe which would be more than every word that every
person ever has said Every word that was ever written and every
word that was ever read
Sometimes you make me feel so small Can't comprehend your size
Yet I'm a giant in your eyes.
I can't control the scope But I'm not losing hope
To summarise Every word that every person has ever said
in their lives where each word implies enough MP3s to fill
a terabyte hard drive Where each song is 10 times the number drives
to the horizon that it'd take to ride around the world each
time you set eyes on one
where each horizon is a head of hairs and every hair there is the length of a lifetime
and each breath in that life is the price of mount everest made entirely by midas
and that finally describes it, and it's increasing in size
So each time you listen to this song again it'll be even more difficult to comprehend.
