Day6 and their super cool physics references we should appreciate more: a thread.
Starting with the upcoming cb: A gluon is a quantum, more specifically the exchange particle for the strong force. That means it literally glues together our matter, making protons and neutrons (atom cores are made up of these) possible. +
And since protons are nearly impossible to destroy due to the gluons, the title "gluon - nothing can tear us apart" is so genius.
Also the release schedule is a star chart. Astronomers use that as maps for orientation on the nightsky. In the past, stars were the one constant thing so people have used them as calenders. The stars would tell you the time of year and what happens when.
Now the Entropy album. Entropy is a prosperity in physics. Simplified it's the state of disorder. The title track being named Sweet Chaos is a clear reference to the name of the album!
You see those letters falling apart and spreading? That's exactly what entropy does. The universe thrives for high entropy (more chaos), and all the red being in one place is not very chaotic. So the letters falling apart is due to the very thing they spell out.
Oh and the blurry figures! This is the butterfly effect, meaning that we can't predict the future when we have unknown factors, for example quanta. It leaves us with multiple possible states, which would make an image of blurry.
This one's obvious. The curved net looks like the commonly used 2d-analogy of the curvature of spacetime. Gravity (caused by heavy objects like planets or stars) bends space and time around them, leaving the usually even dimensions curved like those lines in the album cover.
Not sure if this one was intentional, but since gravity is the one thing that effects time (time dilation), the title track "Time of Our Life" is a nice easter egg. And "Wanna Go Back" even more, because gravity might slow down time, but could never make it run backwards.
The stage design for the gravity tour used that 2d-analogy too!! You can see those curved lines behind the letters.
That's all I could think of as of now! Feel free to add more if you noticed more. I hope I didn't make any mistakes with the scientific terms, English isn't my first language. Oh and if you have questions, be my guest!
