Special Relativity
It starts with a Bang
Pure energy
Slowly the Universe
Is glued together
It begins to paint
Exquisitely coloured
Arranged forces
Amassing reality
Stardust nurseries
Cradle charges
A star is born
What wonder will perform?
Chaos ensues
A blazon struggle
In equilibrium
A marvellous beauty
An audience can never keep up
The faster they go
The slower they see
Holding equivalence
It cannot bend
It’s up to space and time
My mind cannot fathom
This fabrication
Celestial bodies
With a certain gravitas
In a lovers embrace
Falling for you
Why this is
God only knows
But is this reality?
And does it matter?
About this poem
This is somewhat esoteric as it depicts Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. This includes: quarks and gluons to form mass; quantum chromodynamics also referred to as colour force, and spacetime curvature. The specific reference to God represents the Higgs boson, otherwise known as the "god particle". Throughout the poem, a parallel is drawn between the Universe and that of human sentience. That is, the Observable Universe (at the subatomic level) and the perceived universe that exists within each of us. more »
