universe symphony
There are strange, loud, noises outside my window. I suppose it is just the construction workers: I like to think they are working on the fabric of time itself.
There is banging and pounding and a sound like a jack hammer. In the distance, as always, there is the wail of the freight trains. Every now and then something hard strikes a hollow metal pole and rings like a sour church bell.
If there had been a God I wonder what those first moments of the His world sounded like? It is more exciting to imagine the sounds and sensations of the Christian history of the universe. Since the size of the world was born in the human imagination at a time when little of geography and space was known to us, it seems more likely that the events of that history would be dynamic, but on a humanly perceivable scale.
But, when I think of the story found by modern science, I know that the sounds and sights and smells are beyond my comprehension, too extreme for my soft sensitive organs. Perhaps this is why Charles Ive’s Universe Symphony is so successful. It tells the story the way we’d like to imagine it.
Verisimilitude is frequently incomprehensible.
