About this meme

A multi-panel meme series that began on Reddit in early 2017. The video version often pairs these images with a slowed-down remix of "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye.
The video shows a sequence of 3D renders of a human head and brain. As the music builds, the brain begins to glow with increasing intensity. Mathematical and physical formulas—such as $E=mc^2$ and $F=ma$—float around the glowing head, suggesting a state of cosmic or divine understanding. The visuals eventually transition into a fully "transcended" state where the head is purely light.
