It Might as Well be String Theory (book 3 of the hexology in seven parts)
Chapter 4: I am a Working Model of a Modern Major Universe

I am a working model of a modern major universe,

I am a working model of a modern major universe,

A concept that the ancients in their wisdom, would think quite perverse,

Although great men have strove to bring us all quite up to date through time,

Like Galileo Newton and Kepler, to complete the rhyme,

They showed us that the universe must follow a strict set of rules,

To kick those flat earth fellows in to touch, and make them look like fools,

Now Newton’s clockwork universe sent astronauts on a moon flight,

But Einstein’s observations calculated he was not quite right,

And so space-time was brought about with rapid serendipity,

When Einstein came up with the idea of his relativity,

New theories come to fit the facts, and we must test them with research,

I am a working model of a modern major universe,

Now Einstein’s field equations said that time would stretch for you not me,

If I got close to a huge source, of some sort of gravity,

And so my clock would slow down, as I disappeared out of sight,

While traveling in a space ship, that got close to the speed of light,

Then Hawking took the torch and showed us all the black holes in the night,

Along with Penrose and the others, math-a-ma-tic-all-y bright,

Now Witten said we all were strings our atoms were just notes not things,

Harmoniously dancing to a tune the cosmos tries to sing,

And still more theories come, we’ll have to store them Hieratical,

While stealing tunes from other songs, one might say piratical,

It seems that we’re no closer to our unifying theory search,

I am a working model of a modern major universe.

The very small is yet another aspect to our ceaseless quest,

The Hadron ring is just the thing, so far its results are the best,

It looks for all the particles too small for any eye to see,

To prove the theory put about, that we call super symmetry,

And replace the so elusive Higgs Boson that’s linked to gravity,

With Alice, Totem, Atlas among others just to name but three,

The early days of looking seemed to promise new reality,

Max Planck split light into his quanta, bringing us duality,

And other men like Schrodinger played guess the out come with his cat,

To prove the probability of our existence and all that,

So all in all we’re set on course for quite an interesting search,

I am a working model of a modern major universe.
