Models, Models, all so Wobbly

 

The universe is expanding, so the model goes,

all galaxies receding beyond our view,

until our galaxy is the sole proprietor of all that man can know…

 

but wait- there is a Great Attractor pulling us toward Virgo,

an area with a hundred thousand galaxies

all doomed, quite possibly, for their own dark end

in a big gravitational crunch and subsequent bang…

 

So do we have an expanding universe

with areas of galactic accumulations that eventually crunch into new little-bangs?

 

Then we would have a Big Bang, progenitor of swirling Little Bangs,

and if this goes on long enough an equilibrium; but wait-

shorter cycles can occur with longer cycles,

thus, equilibriums losing their equilibriums within the Grand Cycle of the Big Bang…

 

...and what about the other half of the universe?

Based on the eta Carinae explosion below, now a model in itself for large bangs,

the Big Bang should have produced two lobes

ejected 180 degrees in opposite directions

with central debris ejected along a magnetic axis at 90 degree angles to the lobes…

 

and… as is possible with supernovae, matter may remain at the core of the explosion,

such as a neutron star or black hole, or the star itself, as in eta Carinae's case;

therefore it follows that the Big Bang may have left something at its core,

only partially ejecting its matter,

and the core may still be lurking out there somewhere, as the "Grand Body"…

 

Therefore the question should be: Have we been hurtled beyond the threat

of falling back into the Grand Body's event horizon, and, if having survived that,

only to be pulled toward another mini one

coalesced from the crunched galaxies of a minor Great Attractor?

 

Not that any of it matters, for all this matter strung together,

down to the last subatomic particle, will evaporate in fourteen trillion-trillion-trillion years…

 

Models, models, so new and exciting; so conflicting, all so wobbly!

 

 

 

 

the star eta carinae exploding:

(my hypothesized model for the Big Bang, and hence the shape of the resulting universe)

the star survived, by the way, it only went nova, merely blowing off matter;

it is still at the center, large and unstable, threatening to go super...

 

 

an attempt at making it more poemy:

 

The universe is expanding, or so the model goes,

all galaxies receding beyond our view,

until our galaxy is alone in space

and is all that man can know…

 

but wait- there is a Great Attractor pulling us toward Virgo,

an area with a hundred thousand galaxies

all doomed, quite possibly, for their own dark end

in a big gravitational crunch. then a mini-bang quite possibly…

 

So do we have an expanding universe

with areas of galactic accumulations

that eventually crunch into new little-bangs

expelling new mini-universe creations?

 

Then we would have a Big Bang,

progenitor of many Little Bangs,

and if this goes on long enough,

then an equilibrium would ensue;

but wait-

shorter cycles can occur with longer, and so

within the Grand Cycle of the Big Bang 

we can have an equilibrium or two…

 

...and what about the other half

of our Big Bang-ejected universe?

Based on the eta Carinae explosion below-

now a model in itself for large bangs-

the Big Bang should have produced two lobes

ejected 180 degrees in opposite directions

with central debris ejected along a magnetic axis

90 degree to the lobes…

 

and… as is possible with supernovae,

matter may remain at the core of the blast,

similar to a neutron star or black hole,

or simply itself, as in eta Carinae's case;

therefore it follows that the Big Bang

may have left something at its core,

having only partially ejected its matter;

and this core may still be out there somewhere,

the "Grand Body" of time and space…

 

Therefore the question should be:

Have we been hurtled beyond the threat

of falling back into the Grand Body's event horizon,

and, if having survived that factor,

only to be pulled toward another one

created from the crunched galaxies of a Great Attractor?

 

Not that any of it matters,

for all this matter strung together here,

down to the last subatomic particle,

will evaporate in fourteen trillion-trillion-trillion years…

 

Models, models, so new and exciting;

so conflicting, all so wobbly!

Universe Contest note: with all the beauty, mystery, and mysticism entered, you need at least one scientific entry!

born from reading Astronomy Magazine and the conflicting models it presents... (sent as a letter to the editor, we'll see where that goes!)

Poem Points- A Summary:
-one model of the universe has all the galaxies being pushed away from each other by dark matter, until all we can see is our own;
-another model has the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies hurtling toward a large cluster of galaxies (100,000 or so) in the constellation Virgo;
-I bring up the possibility of differing Big Bang models, and the possibility of cycles;
-I bring up the model of all matter eventually disappearing in 14 trillion trillion trillion years...

Given the nebulous nature of the current states of the universe's models, that is mysterious and mystical enough for me!

    I did not need for you to leave your name in the author's notes. I would know my son's style of writing anywhere! There is so much here to breathe in.... Some very interesting facts and acknowledgements. I am in awe that this work of genius was your first post here. I do wonder why you did not receive the Gold Cup! Guess Sprite (who I miss around here) got a bit confused. No disrespect intended to my friend Sprite either.

    What truly caught my eye after reading this wondrous work of poetry;

    "Not that any of it matters,
    for all this matter strung together here,
    down to the last subatomic particle,
    will evaporate in fourteen trillion-trillion-trillion years…"


    In the scheme of things the only thing that matters is that we love one another. Not much we can do to alter the universe. LOL

    Excellent work dear heart! I wish you the best in this challenge.


    Much Love Always ♥

    Mom

    On this reading of your poem, I still find it very very interesting to read. But, I mean that from the standpoint of the knowledge it imparts. The poetry seems to be second to that. The flow is very uneven...actually, I couldn't really find any! The first stanza is the best in that respect.

    I love the energy of the writing and the title is terrific.

    I would say this is written more like a thesis than a poem. But I am giving you high marks for the information. It rocks. ~ Joyce

      yes, you're right, after the first stanza it is just pure energy... lol I thought a bouncing meter would not have fit, as for rhyming... don't know- I'll have to try one with it; thanks...

    This is very interesting, quite an experience to read! Science turned poetry, I would have never imagined it possible!
    Well penned.

    This is a lot to digest for most readers. Thanks for entering a very scientific poem in the contest. I will further comment at the judging. ~ Joyce
