Relativity

Lyrics

The Earth is located approximately 93 million miles away from its host star, the Sun. With light traveling at about 671 million miles per hour, it takes 8.3 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth. Therefore, humans on Earth observe the Sun 8.3 minutes in the past... fuck that’s insane.

The speed of light is constant
even when matter warps space and time.
Special and general relativity;
one day we’ll quantify gravity.
I don’t mean to educate you.
I just want you to know what’s true.

Did you know if the sun exploded
you wouldn’t know for about eight minutes?
Who would you call? Who would be in your thoughts?
Who’s the last face you’d see before you die?

Sometimes I sit and think about
how I don’t know how I could just sit and think.
Now my mind is blown but in other words
I’m amazed when I learn a brand new thing.
So the next time I write a song
I’ll sing about how I know a brand new thing.

Did you know if the sun exploded
you wouldn’t know for about eight minutes?
Who would you call? Who would be in your thoughts?

Who’s the last face you’d see before you die?
