the full line he was going to say was “I will bring you a new understanding of the universe” but it cuts to him saying violence. u can hear him say the UN - before it cuts to violence OMG THE MORE I WATCH IT I UNDERSTAND IT MORE AND MORE. he was going to say the universe, but him saying violence followed up by the gunshots is TALON brainwashing him and giving him his 3rd personality.. wow this short is brilliant mmm idk, u actually see him in his talon suit before u hear the gunshots.. so actually i think that violent tendency was in him somewhere already ACTUALLY, when he says “RELEASE ME” its a double meaning. Talon initially free’d him, only to tamper with his mind and make him violent. it was foreshadowing.. yea this is brilliant

[@HollowSanity]

He meant to say i will bring you a new understanding of the universe but this still gives unnaturally chills

[@jeffgiraffe1692]

"Gravity is a harness. I Have Harnessed The Harness." I love that line

[@EbonySerpent999]

Sigma hears the black hole because some say the black hole sings so he just hears it and it drives him mad the fact that he can hear it and no one else can. It just keeps singing and singing and it never ever stops. He tried to become the universe, but the universe became him. The black hole looks like the iris of an eye from above and Sigma has harnessed that. So "Gravity is a harness. I have harnessed the harness" means he's harnessed the black hole. It's depicted in the final scene where there is a Sigma with a light black and a dark black hole. You can also hear him say "release me" in reverse when he is shown with Talon as if the good in him is trying to escape.

[@kayandjaygamimg3387]

I also believe when ever he's says it again while stripped up is after the accident but now having being able to hold that power he realized it's to much. but as he said at the end, gravity is a harness I have harnesses the harness.

I mean... Quite literally to. If a black hole the size of a pea exists, its mass is basically almost our Earth (at about .42 times). So if one that's about the size of your palm exists, it would most likely weigh more than our solar system. Plus the Hawking radiation would've disintegrated him in an instant and I don't see him wearing any protection gear on his head. It is, in every sense of the sentence, "too much to hold on to".

@@Saimeren My unifying theory is that he looked into infinity itself when he made that black hole, and reality decided to look right back, shoving two other versions of himself into his brain. Thus, he really was unified across multiple realities, which would explain why one's a psychopath, and the other's a bit more stable while the one we're left with is literally trying to hold onto what's left of his split and fractured sanity/reality.

Overwatch could easily create one of the murkier ideas in cosmic horror. The fact that crossing such a physical boundary as controlling a black hole would tear you apart on an inhuman level both mentally and emotionally is terrifying. It can be interpreted as the doctor crossing a barrier to which it is impossible to use a minimum human understanding, to which the brain is not capable of processing what he lived there, permanently altering his reality. Thinking that the universe itself is "singing" to him. Perhaps it was what Sigma saw beyond her experiment. The terror of the unknown is wonderful.

I actually watched a video on Sigma, it discussed the idea that the melody is a way that Talon controls him. The melody most likely brings out the other side of Sigma, the violent side. In this video there are multiple hints at him having two personalities. (Most likely due to brain damage from the black hole) And in the game Sigma is insanely nice to the other heroes. Yet when he hears the melody, his ult activates. Making him powerful enough to kill multiple people at a time. It may be a little far fetched, but it's still a cool theory. Also, props the amazing voice acting for Sigma. This man deserves an Oscar.

You see, the background and Sigma keep shifting, as if he's being pulled back and forth through time, never knowing how long things had passed. For him, something that has yet to occur (such as a meeting for lunch) actually happened almost decades ago, just like as if he was pulled into a black hole, he probably know everything that had happened and everything that will, and that was too much for his "simple human brain" to understand.

In terms of lore, Sigma is one of my favorite characters. I honestly really like when games or movies do the whole "Scientist goes crazy studying the thing they're a professional in" trope. Sigma's study itself is extremely interesting anyways. The study of being able to summon, or possibly even control black holes at one's own will, as well as the power to harness gravity. It really makes you wonder just how powerful Sigma is. If he can make black holes anywhere he pleases, he could destroy the world, if not the galaxy. He's the most powerful character in Overwatch lore-wise.
