"I'm thinking about this conceit:" "Knowing that there are these string models which are addressing these problems" "These string models are predicting that other universes could be, could exist" Eternally inflated, I spent most of my early career learning to be hated Journeying to greatness, so it should come as no surprise that I open eyes Revoke disguise, and blow the minds of your chosen side Frozen inside, exterior star surface The only man that's unafraid to slay a god's purpose My genetic code stores my genius seven fold While they compare you and your people to a vegetable They'll say my later music was exotic Ekpyrotic, one of the best who ever messed with logic Test your knowledge, it's worthless if you don't Learning that you were wrong is perfect when you smoke Blown pot, destination known not At home in the the early universe's cold spot Checking my mixes in false vacuums For lost baboons, if you miss it it's all bad news "...and inflation in cosmology" "That these universes can just inflate out of vacuum fluctuations" "I guess makes us think about other possible values of the fundamental constant" "And of course that these have so-called "anthropic principles" as well comes in" "That why the universe has the constants" Gawk at what's possible You have to close your eyelids to process the opticals Progress is optimal, premises to suffer Are our deeply held truths invented or discovered? I'm interested in structure Rich and complex, the very type predictions inspect Picture the next, classify existence in sets Procreating universes is intimate sex Grab every book of life skim through the texts Through the wall Swear it's unique 'cuz you're involved, due to gall Remain ignorant and we'll lose it all Peruse the logs, searching for inconsistencies Cosmos with similar pasts and different histories Something amiss the mystery Unintended, at once vision becomes the symphony All the realities are connected In a loose landscape of the omni is what you're left with "So I suppose the multiverse... I mean there's some interesting controversy" "I mean I'd like to think that the multiverse sort of removes god" "Which I'm quite happy to push it as much out of the way" "I hate the idea of metaphysics coming into physics" "So I'm rather attracted to the multiverse scenario" "Because it pushes those two things further apart" Quilted sets among the inflaton Whisked along, reducings discographies to a simple song So many different environments hidden inside of it To find a bold mission of scientists The mind screw is that physics seemed to be fine tuned Something that creationists love to remind you The nerve to try it without acknowledged observer bias All because you think some word is righteous Scaling rap flow within a self-replicating fractal The things that are seen are crazy astral Unnerving deep ends that I learned to think in Subverting non-fixed physical laws in certain regions Varied minima values, dimensions to house you Aspects and features to count through Fantastic arrangements of compactification Trapped in the basement, patterns that predate the last iterations Nothing really relates, so let's just witness expansion and watch the symmetries break For entropy's sake, we slumber upon the beds of wonder And ponder on how our native reality's just a set of numbers This was always inhomogeneous But still sacred like the spiral nature of the nautilus My humble attempt to connect the bases But they'll degrade it And forget all of this is purely speculation "The question is: what's the mechanism by which the universe gets populated" "With lots and lots and lots of different environments" "So the mechanism that we're mostly playing around with now" "Is called eternal inflation, and basically I'll tell you what it is" "In the following simple way: there's a landscape" "A landscape means an energy landscape" "It means a configuration space of some kind" "Many many different possibilities" "That gives you the possibilities that questions what brought them into reality" "The key phrase that cosmologists and physicists" "Like myself are thinking about is called eternal inflation" "And it's the idea the entire landscape, the entire landscape" "Means all the possibilities, will get populated" "By this bubbling structure which eventually fills up" "With essentially every possibility that could be there"
