Cosmos, my dear friend, John is a term that was used for the first time by Pythagoras the 6th century BC. He wanted to indicate that the universe was an orderly harmonious whole that obeyed the universal laws of cooperation and coexistence thus the idea of Chaos and disorder was not possible! Cosmos therefore was a unity without beginning or end (Telos)! Mathematics for Pythagoras was the constructive blocks of the universe! Well done my friend! Good luck!

I enjoyed your fine poem about space, John. My favorite line is "Chronometer perfect." Good luck!
Hamilton Avatar

It boggles my mind how these vast celestial bodies with millions, billions of planets galaxies all in their orbits and they are more accurate than a rolex chronometer, and it all happened by chance? The rolex needs a maker but the universe no? Sorry, I got off on a tangent. Thanks Daniel.

Very well written, John. This is a hard form for me to write in. I really loved the choice of words.....especially that last one that is from Greek origin. Good luck in the contest.
