'The Big Beginning' (ft. Hawking, Sagan, Dawkins, Shears, Tyson)

Letra

[Hawking]

We observe that distant galaxies are moving away from us

They must have been closer together in the past

It was the beginning of the universe

And of time itself

Anything that happened before the big bang

Could not affect what happened after

[Dawkins]

The poetry of the expanding universe

The poetry of the complexity of life

We're not normally equipped to understand

And science gives it to us

Science is opening your eyes

To the wonderfulness of what's there

Science is opening your eyes

To the poetry of the expanding universe

[Sagan]

The early cosmos was everywhere white hot

But then as time passed

The radiation expanded and cooled

Then little pockets of gas began to grow

Steadily brightening, we call them the galaxies

[Shears]

In the big bang we had equal amounts of matter and anti-matter

And as soon as they met each other,

They annihilated together

And this battle played out

Whilst the universe expanded

In its first minute of existence

[DeGrasse Tyson]

It's not all that hard to detect the big bang

All you need to do is change the channel

Until you come between two stations

About one percent of the snow and noise

Comes from the big bang itself

We're all eavesdropping

On the birth pangs of the cosmos
