The masses of electrons, muons, and tau can be explained by the different curvatures of universe, galaxy, and solar system, respectively.

This is where I went from not following to being pretty sure it doesn’t make sense. I mean, galaxies and solar systems aren’t fundamental things, they’re clumps. They’re not always discretely defined, they vary in size, there might be other types of clumps between them, and not everything is part of them. And yet they casually assume the curvatures of these three things have set values that define the masses of basic particles? How the heck is that supposed to work?

And an excellent band name it is!!!

It is well beyond freaky that “The animation covers the first 80 minutes after the event.”
