Here's a little fact I liked
About travelling at the speed of light
It's sudden
For you, sudden.
Now I know nothing with mass goes
As fast as the signals from what glows
But it's near
It's near it
Take intelligence, one or two
Send 'em to mars, tell 'em what to do
And quickly
A factory
Springs to being, springs to life,
what was once one or two's now five
Then twenty
There's plenty
Then they repeat the process
And it's very fast
And it's bound to pass
Exponentiality
Send rocketships to planets,
And to other stars
So much further than just Mars
A twentieth of c
(the limit of speed we be)
Anyway that doesn't matter
They can thrive well long after
We perish
We will perish
With nothing else to do or say
The robots will work to simulate
Reality
Alternate reality
Then we repeat the process
Of the universe
And it's bound to pass
The same set of events
Maybe it can outlast
Heat death of universe
Keep the fabric forcefully
Resisting entropy
Well nothing matters, I don't care
I'm not a speciesist, I'm a bear
And that's beauty
A beautiful idea
