The Universe Weird

Well, a quark can never exist by itself in isolation

Something very odd happens when you try to separate them

The energy it takes, to break up those two best friends

Is just enough to create two more to join back up with them

And a photon has no mass and thus, it travels at light speed

If you could imagine going that fast, and if you try I think you might be

You'd be emitted and absorbed both in the exact same instant

Even if you traveled from a place 13 billion light years distant.

'Cause the universe is weird

I'm kinda freaking out

What the heck is this all about?

Infinite unbounded sets and hadronizing gluon jets and

We'll never understand half of what we have at hand

At least that's what I fear

'Cause the universe is weird

An electron has a strong charge, as strong as a proton

And a tiny mass but not nonexistent like the photon and

You might want to take a seat now, 'cause this might blow your mind

It has mass and charge, but not, apparently, a size

And there's a lot of stuff all around you right now

Your chair, your friend, your planet, and your sister's neighbor's cow

And all that mundane mass and energy is all we know and understand

But it's only 4% of what the universe has at hand

'Cause the universe is weird

I'm kinda freaking out

What the heck is this all about?

Infinite unbounded sets and hadronizing gluon jets and

We'll never understand half of what we have at hand

At least that's what I fear

'Cause the universe is weird

Well, I was driving in a van with my brother and I said,

Hey, john, guess what, like, dude, no edge!

Because the universe does not exist in any way we can conceive it

No center, no edge, no none of that, whether or not you can believe it

And once upon a time, in a gassy liquid stew

A molecule was like "hey, I turned me into you"

This may be the biggest mystery of all the ones in which we dwell

How the universe created a tool with which to know itself

Yeah, the universe is weird

I'm kinda freaking out

What the heck is this all about?

Infinite unbounded sets and hadronizing gluon jets and

We'll never understand half of what we have at hand

At least that's what I fear

'Cause the universe is weird

Oh, yeah,

Oh, it's so weird

It's so freakin' weird,

Oh, yeah,

The universe is weird.

The universe is weird.

Oh, why on earth is the earth so weird?

And the universe

Why, and the universe

Is the universe so weird

It's kinda freaking me out

I don't know if you noticed

But it's freaking freaking me out

It's so weird, oh, it's so weird.
