COSMIC RECALCULATION

COSMIC RECALCULATION — to Dr. Wendy L. Freedman In the cosmos, a crisis brews today, regarding the standard model that’s held. “Things expand too fast,” astronomers say, “The Hubble constant is being excelled. “We’ve graphed predictions and made a table, but Expansion’s chosen another path. Unfortunately, we are unable to force Creation to […]

DARK DRIVER

DARK DRIVER What was there to slow cosmic inflation, which occurred shortly after the Big Bang? Nothing obstructed this fomentation, which from an infinitely dense point sprang. The claim is expansion somehow reduced its speed, the second after Creation, (yet, through observation, it’s been deduced there’s still light-speed-limit violation). As though this were viewed – […]

Catch As Cat Cat

Catch As Cat Can Due to quantum flux in which it is caught, Schrödinger’s cat’s both still and a breather. Something that has to be either or not can also be both while it is neither. The observer is the important part, determining the final feline fate. By measurement, there beats a feline heart. By […]

ENERGETIC EVENTS

(Wait for it …) ENERGETIC EVENTS Quarks flee bondage from gluons in forced collisions and matter annihilation. One good thing about nature is that there’s lots of it. This poem is the more standard fibonacci form, in the line syllable sequence: 1 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 8 – 13 […]

Fashion’s Model

FASHION’S MODEL The atom as a miniature solar system is a model we’ve abandoned for a century, yet we still picture it thus. The form of this poem is a reverse fibonacci. Like the Fibonacci sequence, you get the number of syllables for each line by adding the the number of syllables of […]

Quark Of Fate

Press play then scroll along QUARK OF FATE Since we ourselves learned how to create, we’ve pondered our night sky’s creation. “Twinkle, Twinkle,” was the song we sang, till Science showed stars are condensate of dust and background radiation from the silent light of the Big Bang. We thought their motions controlled […]

HONORARY ALIEN

HONORARY ALIEN Zee almost screamed; it had happened again: Another man had told her the same thing — about his light ship and cosmic spacemen — and from this one she’d accepted a ring! And she would have married him, so she sighed. He was so handsome, intelligent, strong… “How could a nut […]

OFF THE SCALE
