π The Universe¶
Welcome to the less musical but no less ridiculous wing of the Opera of Weirdness.
This is where we document the rules of physics, metaphysics, semi-physics, anti-logic, and soft-wiggly-probability that govern the greater cosmos β or at least the parts of it we haven't accidentally turned into vapor through interpretive vibraphone performances.
While the Sound Archive catalogs what the universe sounds like, and the Curiosities catalog what it does when it's being dramatic, The Universe is where we explain the how (and sometimes the what now?) of existence itself.

π History¶
Key moments that shaped the universe, or at least left a memorable dent:
- Before Time β The universe was mostly static until someone tapped a rhythm on a hydrogen atom.
- 0.0000001 seconds after the Bang β First sound emitted. Immediately went platinum.
- Cycle 7 β The first intergalactic groove war broke out. No casualties, but a lot of burned disco records.
- The Great Remix of the Orion Arm β Caused by a misconfigured reality loop. History briefly repeated itself, but with more cowbell.
- Emergence of the Groovitons β See: Groovitons. Caused by too much music in close gravitational proximity. Standard mistake.
- Temporal Licensing Act of Sector 9 β Banned polyrhythmic time travel solos. Still under protest by the Temporal Jazz Guild.
π² Fun Facts¶
- The universe is 13.8 billion years old and still canβt keep time in 5/4.
- Wormholes are technically just solos that got out of hand.
- Light bends around gravity. Sound dances around it.
- Black holes do emit sound β it just takes 82,000 years and a very patient subwoofer to hear it.
- The universe is expanding. Mostly to make room for longer intros.
- The only known creature to harmonize with a gamma ray burst was later promoted to Cosmic Ambassador.
- Lucy the Cat is listed in five galactic encyclopedias as both a researcher and a minor celestial body.
π§ͺ Department of Universal Theory¶
All research here is overseen by the Operaβs Department of Universal Theory, Obscure Possibility, and Snack Breaks.
Theyβve been granted full authority to define scientific fact, so long as they phrase it like an album note and document their findings in a readable Markdown format.
"Some laws are made to be broken.
Others are made to groove."

π€ A Note on Accuracy¶
Please remember:
While the science here may sound improbable, implausible, or even unsanctioned by multiple known galaxies β it is extremely well-documented.
You may trust nothing.
Except the vibe.
