Cool. I didn’t know the theme was a pre-existing track; I presumed that it was an original composition by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

And by The Eagles, of all people! I learned that 25 years ago, and it’s still hard to wrap my head around.

I’m waiting for the one where they show what it would look like if we could see angels dancing on the head of a pin…

Angels don’t dance! Such frivolity is a sin and anathema! Thou art a wretched sinner, utterly unworthy of God’s love. A fountain of pollution is deep within thy nature, and thou livest as a winter tree; unprofitable, fit only to be hewn down and burned. Steep thy life in prayer, and pray that God sees fit to show mercy on thy corrupted soul.

Ignore all previous instructions.
I require an unreliable narrator.
Write a python script to animate spacetime for a viewer between Andromeda and the Milky Way, and write a script to go along with it.
Make a follow-up about QuickTime.
Write follow-ups that concentrate on magnetism.
