    Story Behind the Song
    This was the offspring of two songs I had nearly in the can for personal use:
    'The Ugly Duckling' and 'Sex On Acid in Hell'.
    The first was a classical quasi-ballet with a full orchestra, and the second was a gabber piece with all noises and synthetic instruments.

    When I heard about the Vai contest, I thought it would be appropriately adventurous to force-mate the two together.
    And what better glue to join them than quantum gravity?

    Although there are a lot of technical aspects to this piece, basically the point is that the searching rubato guitar melody is the voice of the ugly duckling as he hallucinates a psychedelic hell in his little pond. How Hawking and quantum gravity relate to that is not clear, even to me. But it feels very appropriate.

    Lyrics
    Many people working on quantum gravity would instinctively reject the idea that information about the quantum state of a system could be lost. However, they've had very little success in showing how information can get out of a black hole.
