Terms such as "expanding Universe", "big bang", and "initial singularity", are nowadays part of our common language. The idea that the Universe we observe today originated from an enormous explosion (big bang) is now well known and widely accepted, at all levels, in modern popular culture. But what happens to the Universe before the big bang? And would it make any sense at all to ask such a question? In fact, recent progress in theoretical physics, and in particular in String Theory, suggests answers to the above questions, providing us with mathematical tools able in principle to reconstruct the history of the Universe even for times before the big bang.

The music is dedicated to the grandeur and beauty of God´s gift in giving us this earth upon which to dwell, hence the hymn-like leitmotif. It is also a commentary on the foolishness of science in trespassing the bounds of our natural realms, and the decay of science as it loses contact with reality and the metaphysical, by delving into the non-existent worlds of the hyper-Micro and the hyper-Macro - lying to mankind, and pretending that their "photographs" are more than just a logarithmic splotch forced into their machinery by the masterful existence of Mathematics. Like Icarus, science has flown too close to the Sun, and is falling, Yet long ago, man was focused on this his world. Everything that was important happened here.
