• Scale of the Universe (feat. Vi Hart)

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 particle's 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
and 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 forces of 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

next 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 see

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 you'd

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 our solar system
would let me re-read the whole of deathly hallows
awesome.

then to travel between stars
as we take to the sky
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
Every word that was ever read

To summarise
Every word that every person has ever said in their life
where each word implies enough MP3s to fill a terabyte hard drive
Where each song is 10 times the number of 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
Oh
and it's increasing in size so
each time you listen to this song again
it'll be even more difficult to comprehend.
