Notes About The Poem

"Because space consists of 3 dimensions, and time is 1-dimensional, space-time must, therefore, be a 4-dimensional object. It is believed to be a 'continuum' because so far as we know, there are no missing points in space or instants in time, and both can be subdivided without any apparent limit in size or duration. So, physicists now routinely consider our world to be embedded in this 4-dimensional Space-Time continuum, and all events, places, moments in history, actions and so on are described in terms of their location in Space-Time."

Four Walls


Four Walls
 

There are four walls in 
   Four-Dimensional Space-Time.
      Like a gallery, they safeguard 
         our beginning to end
with images from our
       birth, 
         childhood, 
              adulthood 
                   and death,
saved from every second
   of our life in this Universe.
      The gallery of our life
         in the gallery of time;
            in Space-Time Continuum,
forever and ever in
    Four-Dimensional Space-Time.
