Name My Sci-Fi Chill Band

Blue Shift

Currently, as stars move away from the center of the known universe, their light spectrum is shifted to the red side. Thus indicating that the universe is still expanding.

If those spectrum shifts ever switch to a blue shift, look out... it means that they are moving back towards the center of the universe and a contraction is now happening.

One theory concerning the big bang is that eventually there will be a blue shift and everything will fall back into one small space, all the matter in the universe compacting down... the big crush. At which time this matter will reach a critical mass and explode into the void once again. Another Big Bang.

Blue is cool... chill... it's a state of being... a state of mind.
Shift can represent a break from the norm... a shift in thinking or perception.

So the name can have many, many meanings.
