The ramp is divided into 2 parts. A zig-zagged part that's on the wall connected to Nobel's lab, and a 2nd part which extends to Cousteau's lab.
Once the viewer steps out of Nobel's lab, they realise that the division from the lab is continued onto the zig-zagged part of the ramp. The different materials on each side of the division relates back to the duality of the quote.
The materials that make up the turning part in the ramp becomes darker as u go up (as shown in the image above). It also gets heavier in a sense, and builds up towards the explosion towards the end.
An overall look of the material applied to the other side of the ramp
The idea of the ramp was to incorporate the ideas of the 2 quotes. In the post on 'Electroliquid aggregation', i have identified the main concepts behind the design of the ramp - the main idea being division. With that in mind, i combined he idea of explosion from Nobel's quote and the weight of gravity from Cousteau's quote while creating the ramp. The materiality of the ramp becomes darker and heavier as u go up, and it gets to the point where it cant support itself and falls apart [gravity] in an explosive way. The red lighting is used here once again to highlight the division (also used in Nobel's lab space and the other division part of the ramp on the wall).

Entrance to Cousteau's lab. The walls slanting in allude to the heaviness of the lab.
Looking back out onto the wall from the inside of the ramp connecting Cousteau's lab.
Another view of the ramp - looking from the water.
Note: Quite a few of the screenshots (like the close-ups of the explosion from below) and the last 2 posts were taken standing on the broken pieces of the ramp
