SOLAR SYSTEM SURPRISE

New plane called PLANET GHETTO
Scientist didn’t expect and know nothing about
Telescopes had no effect in sighting
Mars said, “Don’t look here”
The Milky Way responded, “Don’t even come our way”
The Moon stated, “Don’t even think about it”
What do these planets know about Planet Ghetto that we don’t
I certainly won’t perpetuate
A planet that became a create
Planet Ghetto appeared out of nowhere in space
Not much to say
Don’t bring any Earth waste
Being new to the Solar System
In fact, all the planets are protesting that they don’t share the solar system with anyone
NASA says beware with care, and they must study more for sure
Planets have made history with stories
There are still some mysteries
Planet Ghetto certainly is a surprise
No one had any idea nor realize
Unknown element in the principle
Planet Ghetto distance far
You won’t even find any car
Don’t expect to look like Earth
Planet Ghetto being a new birth
No comparison to Earth.

A World Obsessed with Technology

       A world obsessed with technology
           leads mankind to dismiss teleology

       God has not been found by telescopes ~
           I’d suggest they try a stethoscope

A Cosmic Chuckle

They probably lay about up there,
peering down through cosmic telescopes,
giggling over their mugs of stardust tea.

“Another ‘new’ get rich quick scheme?
Or a means of living forever on nothing but kale and green juice?”
They laugh, nodding — no thanks, Earthlings.

And we keep searching, sending out signals,
as they coast back, soles on placid moons,
thinking, “They’ll figure it out… eventually.”

Where are we going

Where are we going, an endless question in our minds, 
Do science or destiny lead our ways? 
Life takes several paths, some lead to despair, some to the glory, 
Should we blame the failures in the name of destiny? 

If we do not believe in destiny, 
Let science be our guide, 
Through telescopes, we gaze at the distant stars, 
Unveiling secrets of worlds afar. 
Genomes mapped, we trace our lines, 
Understanding the code that intertwines. 
Curing diseases, we push the bounds, 
With each breakthrough, new hope resounds. 

Robots and AI, our new frontier, 
Ruling our lives as advancements near, 
The future may be bright, 
But soon learning hard way will be over, 
It is a dangerous precedence, 
AI influence on education should be legally controlled. 

If we believe in destiny, 
Let faith and understanding be our guide, 
Our deeds(karma) will shape our destination, 
You only have rights to your deeds, not their outcome,
In solemn moments, we should look within, 
To find the divine, where it all begins.

The Giant Eyeball

Single cell organisms 
scatter the gigantic globe 
(Ten times the size of Earth, perhaps the size of Jupiter). 
We, mere humans don’t exist there.
We couldn’t, gravity is too strong. 
Only amoeba like creatures could live there, alien planktonkind. 
We would be too heavy, even children. 
They exist many many light years away from us, 
next to a Red Giant star, 
just a sparkle in our night sky. 
We share a common history inside the Milky Way galaxy, neighbors really. 
They have vast oceans and land masses, just like Earth. 
And as a single person contains trillions of cells, 
organized to make us who we are. 
Their planet may be organized too. 
At least, I think so, 
as I peer through one of our most powerful of telescopes, 
                  I see what looks to me a giant eye 
                              looking back at me!

discussing sirus tonight

Sirus is unaware we are watching him
Through telescopes, for he never gets dim.
his effulgent light so radiant, vivid and bright
Shows us a blazing brilliance tonight

Sirus means glowing in Greek, my daughter says
She is a genius, named for my great-aunt Inez.
Sirus is also called the dog star says my little son Jake.
He is lighting up the sky tonight, sparkling up the lake.

Eyes are telescopes

My lenses 
might not always see 
everything clearly 
but when I focus in 
I 
 can 
  see 
    every   
      detail

An Existential Curiosity

Human ingenuity leapfrogs beyond ordinary
Buoying upon wings of intellectual curiosity
Sustaining innovation, creative imagination,
Breaking barriers once thought impenetrable,
Daring to conquer the arduous, unknown~ 
Resistant to understanding, inert to inquiry.

Unfathomable is force of scientific curiosity
That opened doors to discoveries, inventions:

Telescopes that explore the origin of universe,
Space flights landing on Moon and Mars,
Defying gravity, exceeding the speed of sound;

Telephones, electricity, computers, automobiles,
Untold preventive medicines, therapeutics, 
Vaccines holding in check reign of pandemics,
Treatments for diseases, cure for hepatitis,
Nuclear fusion searching new source of energy
Reducing emissions to sustain life on earth.

Curiosity is the flame of wisdom, inspiration,
Lifeline for mortality pursuing life and liberty;

Promise of yesterday, today, and tomorrow,
For explicating phenomena less understood,
For guiding aspirations of cognitive intellect,
For directing journey on roads not traversed.

Such Ancient Stars

Such ancient stars so nightly nigh
may seem, while viewed through aided eye,
that we can only wonder where
or if they shone on beings there
who once won out to do or die

within a when so long gone by
as to bewilder with a sigh
our visioning from earthly lair
such ancient stars.

Though sight we might yet amplify,
our senseless senses often lie.
While animals with talents rare,
in seeing self, we’re unaware,
albeit telescopes descry
such ancient stars.

The More We Know

While novel revelations come and go,
discoveries that shed uncharted light,
the more we know the more there is to know.

We seek to see into the heavens’ show
with telescopes that stretch our earthly sight
while novel revelations come and go

plus suppositions pertinent although
while seeming sapience to overwrite
the more we know the more there is to know.

Discoveries bring queries apropos,
some theories rejected reignite,
while novel revelations come and go.

Sagacity in science may outgrow
existing thought amongst the erudite.
The more we know the more there is to know.

How can we humans fathom cosmic flow?
Infinity evades our senses’ flight.
While novel revelations come and go,
the more we know the more there is to know.

The inner region of the Orion Nebula as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam instrument…

Pray, Friend

Beams criss-cross Infinity's skies
    powerful telescopes, like trillions of eyes

  Seeking signs of intelligent life ~
    Pray, friends, it won't cause us strife

Tears of a Valiant Soldier

She wept for this cause, 
They couldn’t see beyond the present,
They didn’t deem it an urgent course,
While few are willing to listen, the majority choose to resent.

They say that how could a child’s eye see beyond the wall,
They are also not without their periscopes,
She can envisage their fall,
It’s like viewing falling meteorites through telescopes.
 
A doomsday disaster,
All-inclusive none the master.

Science Effort Again - Universe Looks Same and Flat

I
Why does the universe look the same no matter where we ( humans and telescopes) look?

II
The question is complex for this reason: an expanding universe from the Big Bang, has voids, columnar structure, and may be akin to the biggest sponge, between galaxies.

III
A possible answer is the theory of Inflation, and the role of theoretical.particles called inflatons. In the milliseconds after the big bang, inflation is said to have occurred. Quantum mechanics, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, speed of light ... explain if a small start to the universe is true, "homogeneity" in the universe depends on particles behaving in unpredictable ways.

NOTES:
1. A finetuned universe from Genesis / START makes the most sense. The theory of Inflation replaces the Creator with Inflation.
2. This theory has failed to produce the required FLAT SPACE TIME (a la Einstein) in experiments. Spacetime is a coin with heads and tails likely; our universe landed in the edge! ( Fine tuned?)

Smart Telescopes Beaten By God - Nothing

I
Humans took Ancient Stories of constellations to science
And laughed  - all the way to the modern laboratory
Just as Copernicus and Galileo would -  at Ptolemaic Flat Earthists
God laughing when our inventions "saw" twin quasars in 1979!

II
Better and bigger telescopes all the way to Hawai'i ignored God
God is NOTHING at best; SATAN rules, or just PROTOPLASM
Until we see Earth is not central; lost in the cosmos
300,000 million planets in our Milky Way alone may have life!

III
The best telescopes and inventions got lost with Dark Matter
All that we see - however totaled - is 5 percent of the Cosmos
No scientist can see or dissect DARK Matter & Dark Energy
Yet, these are keeping the Coma Cluster of galaxies "untorn" -
And Einstein knew, too, GRAVITY can help us see (quasars, trajectory)

IV
Hail, Vera Rubin for finding the speed of stars in Spiral Galaxies
Hail, Fritz Zwicky, the one who gave us "neutron stars" and "Supernova"
And Einstein for Gravitational lensing, the key to moving Science on
Also said, "Science without religion is blind; Religion without science is lame."
God hides as Gravitational Lens and Glue in the cosmos; Know Him? No Him?
