Physicist Postulates Reality Of Chtulhu Mythos
Thursday, November 29, 2012 21:48
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
In the tradition of Albert Einstein’s thought experiment, Theoretical Physicist and Mathmetician Benjamin Tippett has wondered what would have to be the case for what is very possibly H.P. Lovecraft’s most disturbing story, “The Call of Cthulhu” to be true?
“The most merciful thing in the world… is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.”
H P Lovecraft
Of course the story is not true and no one is suggesting that it is, but the ramifications of his delving into the matter touch upon many facets of other mysteries. Our search for Dark Matter, that part of the universe that is required for the expansion we witness and formation of galaxies yet have never found one ounce of.
Scientists recently figured out that the mysterious sound known as ‘The Bloop’ is just an ice quake from Antarctica. Mundane isn’t it? Yet the source of thebloop is nowheres near the southern continent.
R’lyeh is a sunken underground city (Lemuria anyone?) where Chtulhu is imprisoned waiting for the stars to align for his return. Coincedently enough, on December 3rd, 2012, just 4 days away from now..
Food for thought. I shall leave you with a cosmically horrific lovecraftian tuneby a Norwegian metal band 1349.
Lyrics:
Ia! Ia!
The stars are rights!
For aenos they have slumbered
Dead but dreaming
Waiting beneath the waves
Awaken!
Daemon-gods of primeval times
Coming round full circle
Stirring in the deep
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Boiling wasters part
Cyclopean cities emerge
From the deeps
And then…
Insanity and fear
Overwhelm the humans
Outnumbered and inferior
Kraken, Leviathan, Cthulhu
So many names given
To the fear from the deeps…
Awaken! Kraken
Awaken! Leviathan
Awaken! Cthulhu
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
From the deeps…
Ia! Ia!
THE RISE OF OUR LORD AND MASTER WILL BRING ABOUT PEACE AND SALVATION TO ALL MANKIND…
Not that I believe ANY of that to be true Props to your musical tastes and I’ll add this from wikpedia:
The Call of Ktulu
“The Call of Ktulu” is the 8th and final track. It is the band’s second instrumental, following the first instrumental “(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth” from Kill ‘Em All. The song’s working title was “When Hell Freezes Over”.
The idea of the piece “The Call of Ktulu” is based upon H. P. Lovecraft’s book The Shadow Over Innsmouth which was first introduced to the rest of the band by Cliff Burton. The piece’s name was taken from one of H.P. Lovecraft’s main stories featuring Cthulhu, The Call of Cthulhu, which was written in 1928 for the magazine Weird Tales. The name “Ktulu” is originally written “Cthulhu” by H.P. Lovecraft. In the story, it says that mentioning the name Cthulhu (Verbally or written) will bring him closer.
“The Call of Ktulu” is also the last piece to include songwriting credit for Dave Mustaine. Mustaine later recorded the song “Hangar 18″ for Megadeth’s 1990 album Rust in Peace. Both pieces have the same chord progression in the intro.
The song was re-arranged by Michael Kamen for Metallica’s 1999 S&M project and won a Grammy for the best rock instrumental performance in 2000.[17]
