A fact, Captain

Physical laws simply cannot be ignored

Existence cannot be without them

[Captain Kirk] What do you mean, Spock?

 

[Chorus]

Physical laws simply cannot be ignored

Existence cannot be without them

Physical reality is consistent with universal law

When the laws do not operate, there is no reality

There is no reality

There is no reality

When the laws do not operate, there is no reality

Physical laws simply cannot be ignored

When the laws do not operate, there is no reality

 

Doctor, in your opinion, what killed Mr. Chekov?

[Dr. McCoy] A piece of lead in his body

Wrong, his mind killed him

[Dr. McCoy] Come on, Spock! If you've got the answer, tell us!

Physical reality is consistent with universal law

When the laws do not operate, there is no reality

All of this is unreal (All of this is unreal)

[Dr. McCoy] What do you mean, unreal? I examined Chekov, he's dead!

But you made your examination under conditions which we cannot trust

We judge reality by the response of our senses

Once we are convinced of the reality of a given situation

We abide by its rules

 

[Chorus]

Physical laws simply cannot be ignored

Existence cannot be without them

Physical reality is consistent with universal law

When the laws do not operate, there is no reality

There is no reality

There is no reality

When the laws do not operate, there is no reality

Physical laws simply cannot be ignored

When the laws do not operate, there is no reality
