What was that?
[Break]
[Instrumental, Timpani, Rototom, Gong]
[Break]
I can’t seem to remember
What I was going to ….
[Verse]
Memory, will you last
Transitory, in the past
Reality surely lasts?
Folding into our collective pasts
[Chorus]
So many days
In so many ways
Threaded together
Forever
The seams sown at the seems
Holding our dreams
[Bridge]
The fabric of the universe
The backdrop of our scenes
Acting out our play on your stage
In each day and age
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Piano]
[Break]
What?
[Bridge]
The fabric of the universe
The backdrop of our “seen’s”
Acting out our play every stage
In each day and age
[Chorus]
So many days
In so many ways
Threaded together
Forever
The seams sown at the seems
Holding our dreams
[Verse]
Memory, will you last
Transitory, in the past
Reality surely lasts?
Folding into our collective pasts
[Outro]
I can’t remember what I was going to…
Hey!
[End]
A SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT
The “fabric of the universe” is a metaphorical concept used to describe the underlying structure and composition of the cosmos. It refers to the fundamental components and forces that govern the behavior of matter, energy, space, and time at the most fundamental level. While the universe’s fabric is not a tangible material like fabric in the conventional sense, it represents the interconnectedness and interplay of various physical phenomena that shape the universe’s existence and evolution.
In the framework of modern physics, the fabric of the universe is described by theories such as general relativity and quantum mechanics. According to general relativity, spacetime is the fabric of the universe, where matter and energy warp and curve the fabric, giving rise to gravity. On the other hand, quantum mechanics describes the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, revealing the probabilistic nature of particles and the fundamental forces that govern their interactions.
Additionally, the Standard Model of particle physics provides a framework for understanding the fundamental particles and their interactions through three of the four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. However, the fabric of the universe remains incomplete without a complete understanding of the fourth fundamental force, gravity, within the context of quantum mechanics.
In summary, the fabric of the universe encompasses the fundamental principles and phenomena that underlie the cosmos’s structure and dynamics, including spacetime, fundamental particles, forces, and their interactions. It represents our ongoing quest to understand the universe’s deepest mysteries and uncover the laws that govern its existence.
