While I agree that modest mouse was heavily into quantuam mechanics before they sold out, I don't think that this song was particularly about it. I think that perhaps, since brock read a lot about string theory as a youngster, that it might have influenced his art significantly. Specifically, when you listen to most of their songs, you can sense the 7-dimensionality aspect of the music. They are not simply songs, but representatives of our strangely formed universe that stretches towards oblivion in more dimensions than we can possibly conceive. However, while the music is composed of well-formed strings being played on strings (and drums), the lyrics I believe are composed of a more elementary nature, and are addressing the response of his mother to his more simplistic art as a child. Modest mouse might name a song about relativity "nothing", but the addition of the "new" sort of pokes a hole in your thought process. Since nothing is simply nothing, one can not discover new nothing. New nothings are the same as old nothings, and are composed of the exact same substance as the old nothings. Even if you found new nothings, they would not be new because they always existed, just like the old nothings. Since modest mouse understands this so well, they would not have intentionally led the listener astray by adding the "new" to their title.
I think that you are wrong, as well snmmm, not only about your interpretation but of your extrapolation. Since modest mouse are extremely intelligent and well-read, they would know that the bible has in fact changed as the years have gone by. Its original enscription is the subject of controversy in its hebrew language, and different parts of the bible have some arguments over them there. Once it is interpreted, especially into english, many of the meanings have changed dramatically. That is why there are so many translations, and the translations change once in awhile. I remember in an interview that brock said none of them were jewish and don't know hebrew, so they would be used to the translations such as the "king james" or "new living". Your interpretation is very jungian in nature, and a little off the wall. I think you have juped off the ship of reality into the sea of jupian jismo's jiant jail.
