about

It is an instrumental track, but also... it's not. The song name is "Gravitas", in Morse code. The lyrics (also on Morse code), and say two quotes by Sir Isaac Newton (who I admire). The track tries to represent on the hope and faith we have on science and technology, especially during these times were a vaccine was urgent, and also on how we must trust on it in order to cease the pandemics. It is an invitation to be skeptical, and paradoxically, skeptical to science and technology themselves. It also points out that science is very powerful, but it can't actually change ignorant and stupid people's mind.

In English:
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people. Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy.

Gravitas

Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.
