If Einstein's right, then space and time are all one thing, and it's all a big glass football, with a big bang at one end and a big crunch at the other, and all the moments making up our lives are there forever. Nothing's moving, nothing's changing, like a reel of film with all the frames fixed in place until the projector beam of our consciousness plays across them, and then Charlie Chaplin doffs his hat and gets the girl. Everybody is on an endless replay, every moment is forever, and every miserable wretch is one of the immortals, every clearance area the Golden City.

My first gateway into the wonder that is Pink Floyd. By far my most listened to album, of all artists of all time. I usually listen to it as one track, because my brain expects Time to flow into Great Gig in the Sky, to flow into Money, etc. Brilliant, and it opened the door into such wonderful albums as Meddle and Animals.
