Starting from the beginning of the formation of the universe to the modern world's inventions, Bryson provides clear answers to all the questions we've been wondering about ourselves and the world.]]> 2020-05-22 05:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588372681 555818 https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588375799 Interstellar Main Theme- Hans Zimmerman
Summary: This theme highlights many magnificent scenes in the film, specifically when traveling through space and discovering new things.
Connection: The scenes that this song plays through details many scientific feats- hope for humanity as they attempt to save earth. In specific, this song plays during a scene in which the main character's daughter receives a binary message that says "stay". Throughout the book and specifically through the end, humanity is referred to very briefly in the end to note how lucky and hopeful we are to exist. This symbol is used to perpetrate that theme.]]> 2020-05-22 06:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588375799 555818 https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588382051 Lucky- Aurora
Summary: Aurora sings about how we are lucky to be alive, to touch the ground, to be able to experience the things we do in our lifetime.
Connection: Throughout the history of the world, there have been many circumstances where if things have not gone perfectly- for example, evolution- we would not be standing here. The book connects to this theme, explaining in detail how lucky it is that the sequence of time happened the way it did.]]> 2020-05-22 06:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588382051 555818 https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588385615 Exist for Love- Aurora
Summary: The reason why we exist is to love one another. This heals us and makes life better.
Connection: Throughout the novel, chance, chaos, and randomness threaten the path of time. Any small number of things could have happened, which would invariably change the course of what we know. Bryson himself notes how since these factors didn't happen, we have no way to know any of what could happen, but what has happened. Bryson says that why we could exist can be many things- but for me, I know that love is probably one of them.]]> 2020-05-22 06:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588385615 555818 https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588391279 Time by Hans Zimmerman
Summary: This piece reflects the theme of the famous movie Inception. Time is always of the essence and the past plays an essential part in the movie.
Connection: The book ends with telling us that time is a constant- ebbing and flowing- and revealing our history to us. Looking into the past and learning this history is what we do to look into the future.]]> 2020-05-22 06:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588391279 555818 https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588395583 Cosmos- Hazy
Summary: The song captures the wonder and the feelings of curiosity that comes with dreaming of the cosmos.
Connection: Although the history comes back around to humans and earth, the book doesn't ignore the universe and it's role in history. It's much more correct to say that the setting is in the cosmos/ the universe.]]> 2020-05-22 06:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588395583 555818 https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588398443 *Lucky by Aurora wasn't on Spotify]]> 2020-05-22 06:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588398443 555818 https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588407189 2020-05-22 06:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/555818/5wxotkjumw7zw6z3/wish/588407189
