Ripples & Quantum Convulsions 4.16.2009 Poem by Margaret Alice

....I love the idea of living in a giant hologram, all evidence
to that effect is a source of delight - herewith a summary
of an article by Marcus Chown - New Scientist 2009...

See a giant detector
called Geo Six Double-O
à la James Bond Double-O Seven

Looking for gravitational waves
from super-dense objects, mysterious
black holes and shining neutron stars,
rippling in space-time

Finding none, yet detecting
inexplicable noise, thus Geo Six
Double-O made the greatest
discovery in physics
in half a century

Craig Hogan,
Astrophysicist from Batavia,
Illinois, says the noise indicates
the limit of space-time, where all
dissolves into grains like zoom-in
dots on newspaper photographs,
the end of the smooth
continuum

Geo Six Double-O found the point
where space-time is causing
microscopic quantum
convulsions

Proof that we live
in a giant hologram:
the universe is a 3D image
recreated by light bouncing off
a two-dimensional cosmic film –
such is the fabric
of space-time!
