Chorus:
The universe is a mysterious place.
Blast off into outer space.
The smaller it is, the more you see it glow.
Journey into a black hole.
Massive stars collapsing under their own gravity.
(Into a black hole.)
At the center of the singularity.
(Into a black hole.)
Light cones bending inward.
(Into a black hole.)
This is not the end, be assured.
(Into a black hole.)
Future of singularity.
Time slowed down by relativity.
Chorus
The gravitational field of a star changes paths of light rays in space-time.
(Into a black hole.)
Bending light rays. Time unwinds.
(Into a black hole.)
Dimmer and dimmer goes the light.
(Into a black hole.)
Soon it fades out of sight.
(Into a black hole.)
Future of singularity.
Time slowed down by relativity.
Chorus
Cones bent inward. Light can't escape.
(Into a black hole.)
What if it was dark when we wake?
(Into a black hole.)
Stars collapse in on themselves when they die and when they form.
(Into a black hole.)
Recycled interstellar dust being reborn.
(Into a black hole.)
Future of singularity.
Time slowed down by relativity.
Chorus
Future of singularity.
Time slowed down by relativity.
Chorus
The smaller it is, the more you see it glow.
Journey into a black hole.

black hole
good explanation of some odd things.. black holes are really mysterious..even today scientist are not sure what it is..they know how they form but ..inside them, known nothing...there are some theories out there..but no general consent..
you know Einstein didn't believe in existence of black holes..whose very theory lay foundation of black hole theory...? -

Thanks. yes, black holes are a real mystery, but I think that's what's so intriguing about them. no-one knows what goes on inside, it's all speculation. yes, I have read that Einstein didn't believe in black holes, he refused to believe in them despite his theory of relativity telling him that they must exist without a doubt. In fact, didn't he also try to prove his own theory wrong, the part about it including black holes, because he doubted it so much?

Well done. Don't want to ever journey into a black hole, though they are very interesting, I admit. Good job.
-
I love Black holes don't even get me started to study them alone is magnificent. Hopefully I don't get to study them too closely if you know what I mean. You were completely correct on one thing at least, how light bends into the black hole isn't that crazy? The only thing I'm not fond of is how it's in the form of a song, I prefer poetry, if you could snip and cut some pieces I would be thankful.

well done

That was amazing especially how you break down the "Blackhole." Good job!

This is a great poem which I liked a lot. I liked the philosophy here
Thanks for your comment

cool and original
Hey Arz
This is very original, very unique. I love it...I think there could be some very cool music to this.
Your hunger for astronomy.. and physics is very cool

Oufff you got me there big time! I am a total addict of quantum physics! I own this book too Stephen wrote also that a medium planet size orbiting around an average star in a spiral galaxy is part of only one of many million and million galaxies. Fantastic! How can an anthropic principle would claim that a whole huge cosmos exists simply for the prototype in human being? Hard to reconcile God-centredness and man-centredness into proper perspective. Science points the stages, creation reverses that proportion. Anyway truly enjoy that song. Regards.

Arzab, this is an awsome song! I love this one, wow, this is so cool. what a great idea for a song, this would be awsome to hear the music for. I really liked this. nice one! This is my favorite of your songs so far.
