| It should be pretty obvious CELESTE has been taught to sing the song from memory without knowing what it means.

'''Cosmic Zoom'''

From the sudden [[Big Bang]] slowing to the gradual [[expansion of the universe]], it soon becomes apparent that it's now a gradual [[Cosmic Zoom]] pushing in through the [[Observable Universe]] down to local [[Superclusters]] down to our [[Local Group]] to the [[Milky Way]] to our [[Solar System]] to [[Earth]] to a [[Greater Toronto]] suburban hillside.

'''FYI'''

''[[Ah! vous dirai-je, maman]]'' was first published in 1761, later arranged by many composers including [[Mozart]], commonly popular as [[Twinkle Twinkle Little Star]], [[Baa-Baa Black Sheep]], [[Alphabet song]], etc.


'''Lyrics'''

These lyrics are intentionally excessively info-dense.  I'll gladly accept and consider rewrites for improvement (and the same goes for everything in this story - up for improvement).

The visuals show the official narrative of cosmic evolution from the [[Big Bang]], yet Celeste sings about the [[The Singularity Is Near #Exponential growth |exponential growth]] of the Universe through [[six epochs]] that [[Ray Kurzweil]] considers in ''[[The Singularity Is Near]]''.
