Sarah And The Fabric Of Reality

Sarah meant a lot to me
Sarah meant a lot to me
Sarah meant a lot to me
But she’s just a freak on a rock out in space
And I’m a brain inside a man
Much too affected by the plan
To ever really understand it
I see through the window of a fish-to-frog
And frog-to-ape
I change my shape
Outside, inside, where’s my God?

Albert meant a lot to me
Hawking meant a lot to me
Dawkins meant a lot to me
But they say Sarah, she ain’t nothing but scum
But I know this to be a lie
‘Cause she can look into the sky
And she can start to understand it
Her brain is a mobile of the sun and moon
Behind her face
Is all of space and time
That’s why, there’s my God

How many million years? what does that mean?
How many billion years? was it fifteen?
Reduce it to nothing but luck
That’s enough time to make anything

Question my soul, unlock my code, dig up my bones, space-time unfold

(spark light quark bright fire mighty charge meet charge matter meet matter heat up cool down star quasar supernova
sun moon planet cell fish shellfish brain mouth eyes legs man fire sing shout fight fire with fire)

A multiversal view is more than Sarah can count cause that’s an infinite amount
And there are infinite types
Does that mean David is right? in at least one or most or all of them
If I’m a spiritual machine, take me back to the green
Hear me, hear me

I want to live forever
Shouldn’t be too long now

Sarah?

I was inspired to write this song after reading David Deutsch’s excellent book The Fabric Of Reality. He is the professor of quantum computation at Oxford.

I sent him this song and he said he dug it and some of his friends dug it. He also kindly answered lots of stupid physics questions I had. They are embarrassing questions now, but I was just getting into physics and science.

I was reading enough physics at the time to realize that there is no god, although I was still in that weird middle-phase of believing that there is “some sort of God of the Universe out there somewhere, maybe not the Christian God persay, bla bla bla….”

By the way, that’s all bogus. Most of this song I am very proud of, but the line “there’s my god” REALLY annoys me now. Putting god further away doesn’t make it any more legitimate. Don’t accuse Christians of ignorance, and then claim that god is part of the universe, or is quantum physics, and then believe in aliens or souls or nature’s spirits, or whatever. It’s all bogus, so it’s like, either believe it all or not.
