Eric Idle, Professor Brian Cox and Noel Fielding are explaining the universe in a forthcoming BBC musical - The Entire Universe - showing over Christmas, on Boxing Day, I believe. I thought it relevant to resurrect this piece.
To start:
Hydrogen bombes,
Delicate, nascent cosmic embryos
Of pure fusion universes,
Less than a nanosecond old,
As big as grapefruit and as dense
As all there is.
