Einstein’s failed search for the Theory of Everything A truth that mathematically reflects the universe Those poor Platonists so sure that numbers and equations are the true reality behind this pathetic reality we call here and now The ideal realm of which we mere psyches sense nothing but flickers and shadows Those special minds Their beautiful equations bring us multiplicities Multiverses and the immensity of black holes’ negativity A string that leads from this umbilicus mundi to that where sometimes a pipe is not just a pipe And time is not just a moment gone faster than the length of one’s lament
No experiments demonstrate a + b = c because there is no absolute The one thing Einstein could take pleasure in knowing was that he was right about that one thing But was he really? Or is it all just psychology, just another construct? That arrow shot from the back seat of the celestial omnibus arrives later than the one liberated from the hood At once an ornament and a memory
The answers are in the stars after all Relativity’s proof Like the comparative thickening principle of corn starch or flour from wheat The difference between pudding and roux Without the attentive spoon all is scorched Not even the dogs will eat it There is no imaginary time when stirring the pot Once burned it’s done No way back from black
If Einstein could not solve this problem of the now then even less can I a mathless victim of uncertainty’s principle I can’t see direction and speed at the same time I am just one example of indeterminancy The observer always changes the observed Ask an honest social scientist if you can find one
Escape from the easy comfort of Ptolemy Embrace the fact that all truths are truncated There is no escape from the passing of time
While drunk on youth behind us the mighty all is gone
