The Space Cadet --
A Waste of Space
"For countless romantics, outer space is another of life's great mysteries --
each having flunked basic physics
(in addition to skipping each astronomy class)."
-- Reality
in need of a bit of breathing space from
the "multiverse"
* * *
But three dimensions yet has outer space,
with nothing much of note therein to see,
just galaxies of stars still commonplace,
and planets large or average-sized or wee --
no proof of any photoshopped "black hole,"
no "wells of gravity," no "bent space-time,"
no Starship Enterprise on cruise control,
no "warping" scientific paradigm --
nor evidence of "worm holes" short or long,
for cutting travel time in "time machines,"
or any famed "ET" named Neil Armstrong,
or moonwalk dances held behind the scenes --
or even quanta "waving" as they "spin"
when bands of "angels" the beguine begin.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
scientific Facts
as opposed to "physicists'" fictions
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
the mainstream, romanticized belief sans proof
in a "multiverse" of wonder --
a clueless conviction of cosmic crap
may, 2023 -- yet each modern "physicist"
on the bestseller list
but a talking head
full talking out his ass
