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!

Is Our Galaxy In A Bubble?

We're Most Certainly In A Housing Bubble, Though 

Well, everything looks to be in a bubble on some level. One of the more encouraging things during all the lockdowns was how science kept progressing. One had to be surprised at how quickly they put together effective vaccines against the original strain. It's a shame the Omicron variant sort of watered down the effectiveness of the vaccines, but it was pretty amazing all the same. If this whole thing had happened a decade earlier, I doubt we would have been able to work fro him so effectively, and we sure wouldn't have been able to come out of the lockdowns with a modicum of confidence without the vaccines. 

In light of that, you take note that maybe the very galaxy we live in, is inside some kind of bubble. The information seems to be a metaphor for our state of being in lockdown.
