i just find it really weird that there is no fixed ground. the planet Earth is moving through space, at an arbitrary velocity, depending on what you compare it to. if you push hard enough, you can make the earth’s speed change, in fact you could even split the planet up into pieces. there is no fixed, absolute ground. it’s not even “turtles all the way down”. if you dig down deep enough, you get out the other side, and there’s just nothingness. it’s so weird that we’re all built on nothingness. we’re excitations of the void. in fact, nothing can ever be kept constant because there’s no fixed ground to anchor it on. we’re like a dream that’s constantly volatile, always evolving, in fact we cannot even stop time right now at all.
Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
It’s orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it’s reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It’s a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it’s just three thousand light years wide
We’re thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe…
And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space
’Cause there’s bugger-all down here on Earth!
Can we have your liver, then?
Making you some Liver and onions are ya!
