Lately I've been curiously looking up information about not my EE topic or my history assessment (really should though), but about a unique rock group that depicts an epic sci-fi saga through their songs. Their albums parallel graphic novels penned by the band's singer. Anyway, in their latest album the story involves this mystical force known as the Keywork that holds together the entire known universe. One character boldly attempts to discover what the Keywork really is, and discovers that the universe is held together by the energy created by the souls of the departed. The balance of good and bad energy depends on the lives of the souls in the system. Additionally, those who lived a life of dishonesty or evil are doomed to repeat their misfortunes for eternity.
Mind=blown?
Bombastic theatrics notwithstanding, there is an interesting point shown here that relates not with the concept of afterlife but more like karma. If we behave in a harmful way that hurts anyone, we upset the universe. You'll never know how many people you harmed. We all leave a legacy for better or worse that affects everyone, and we also are forced to live with the things we have done and their aftereffects.
Could the Keywork's concept be based in reality of the lives of people?
PS: The band is Coheed and Cambria, for anyone interested. Their newest album comes out tomorrow but I already previewed it all online today. Not my type of music mostly but it's an indulgence of the nerdy/philosophical/cultural side of me ;P.
