[Intro Monologue]

Einstein used to say that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it's comprehensible

It's an old riddle, what is there about the human mind that so resonates with the rest of the universe that we're able to understand anything about the workings of nature on the largest scale.

It's a philosophical question i suppose but science has been able to provide us with a little bit of the answer.

When we look at subatomic particles and

when we look at the stars and galaxies we see evidence from every direction

That the universe is all of a piece and that it began as a single seed smaller than an atom.

And in a very real sense you and i were there every scrap of matter and energy in our blood and bones and in the synapses of our thoughts can trace its lineage back to the origin of the universe.

The natural laws that fragmented and multiplied as the young universe expanded and cooled continue to operate today in the beating of our hearts as well as in the trajectories of the stars.

As the quran puts it the universe is as close as the veins in our necks.

The evolution of the universe goes on not just around us but within us.

Our thoughts and feelings after all are part of the universe too and its story is our story as well.

[Chorus]

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

Was it all in my fantasy?

Where are you now?

Were you only imaginary?
