CHASING GHOSTS (From Stephen Hawking's last "speech"): "Classical general relativity breaks down and has to be replaced by a quantum theory of gravity" They're chasing ghosts In the Name of Science They're chasing ghosts In the Name of Science Do they know what they're doing - do they know what they know? Do they know what they're doing - do they know what they know? (Stephen Hawking): "The Laws of Physics hold everywhere - even at the beginning of the universe" They're chasing ghosts in defiance Of the laws of nature (Stephen Hawking): "The no boundary proposal predicts that the universe began with a period of inflation" "In other words the boundary condition of the universe - is that it has no boundary" They're chasing ghosts In the Name of Science Do they know what they're doing - do they know what they know? Do they know what they're doing? They're chasing ghosts in defiance Of the laws of nature (Stephen Hawking): "Thank you."

about

"We all need some cosmic relief from time to time - lest our brains turn into dark matter."
- Simon Shack

Thanks for purchasing this album so as to help our band escape from its financial black hole :-)

(Disclaimer: thankfully, "dark matter" and "black holes" do not exist. They are but a figment of our modern scientists' fervid imagination).
