Is Our Galaxy In A Bubble?

Doom-scrolling In A Pandemic 

Sometimes you lose perspective on what to write about. That's at the best of times. During lockdown, you lose way more perspective than you realise. My Pandemic Lockdown Rock-down has turned out to have yielded some bonkers ideas for lyrics according to the Dude at Audio Darnok. 

I tend to think the whole galaxy being in a bubble is possibly the most emblematic theory of the universe that befits our time. After all, I'm convinced that we're all living in a financial bubble and nobody ever seems to notice it. If the whole galaxy were in a bubble of its own, who would care? 

There used to be a phrase about the economic bubble in Japan - they called it "that bubbly feeling". Even now when they refer back to that time, they say "that bubbly feeling era". The bubble, metaphorical and otherwise, is all around us. all the time. 

You've been warned!
