Cosmic Insights: A Reflection on Scientific Minds
Lyrics
While listening on my cosmic phone
Reflecting on cosmic matters while using a metaphorical "cosmic phone."
I caught words from the Olympus blown
Heard messages or information from a higher realm, possibly symbolic of divine or extraordinary communication.
A newcomer was shown around
A new entity or individual is introduced and guided around this cosmic space.
That much I could guess, aided by sound
The speaker infers details through sound, indicating an awareness of the surroundings.
There's Archimedes with his lever
Refers to Archimedes and his lever, symbolizing ongoing problem-solving and intellectual pursuits.
Still busy on problems as ever
Archimedes remains engaged in intellectual challenges.
Below, on Earth, they work at full blast
Shifts focus to Earth, where activities are intense and information is abundant.
And news are coming in thick and fast
Rapid and continuous updates or news reports are being received.
The latest tells of a cosmic gun

To be pelted is very poor fun
Being targeted or affected negatively is not enjoyable.
We are wary that there is so much at stake

Those beggars are a pest, no mistake
Refers to challenges or nuisances that are bothersome.
Too bad, Sir Isaac, they dimmed your renown
A lament for Sir Isaac Newton, whose reputation has been diminished.
And turned your great science upside down
Criticism of how Newton's scientific contributions have been misrepresented or undervalued.
Puts on your high teaching all the blame
Assigns blame for the misrepresentation of scientific teachings to others.
Says, matter and force are transmutable
Claims that matter and force can be transformed, contradicting established laws.
And wrong the laws
States that the laws are incorrect or flawed.
I am much too ignorant, my son
The speaker admits to insufficient understanding of complex ideas.
For grasping schemes so finely spun
Acknowledges difficulty in comprehending intricate schemes or concepts.
My followers are of stronger mind

And I am content to stay behind
