Question

A Spacey Time Poem
by C.S.Scotkin


Dr. Albert Einstein said
ride a light beam in your head.
Something strange will happen.

(you might want flight insurance!)

Are you up and belted in?
It would be a real sin
To fall, upon the blast-off!

(you see what I mean about flight insurance!)

Now at cosmos’ speed limit
Whoa! Hold on! Wait a minute!
Something strange does happen.

(I don’t think I can get my money back!)

When you see me coming through
What you see is very blue
When you see me go I’m red.

(Don’t blame me, talk to Edwin Hubble!)

This little fact fills my head
Not without a little dread
I return, you may be dead.

(…wait, just a thought experiment!)
( whew)

Answer 1

Hope TD wore his lead shorts! What do the kids look like? I often wondered if I'd be passing back through myself as I reached the speed of light. I know that time and space are both relative, much as we like to think them constant, and use them as such in our measurements. Ideas and thoughts are limitless and variable. History is monadal, packaged in parcels of importance to the individual, culture, or ethos, so that it constantly shifts with large chunks coming to occupy the foreground..



[Stalin was constantly editing the History books children in Russia used. It's amazing how people can disappear from pictures.]

Answer 2

Edwin Hubble and I went to different schools at different times. We both came up with the big bang theory. His observations were also different than mine. He thought it created the universe, while I considered it to be more related to getting someone pregnant or being pregnant... The result was the same though... your universe was forever changed when it happened.... nice writing there CSS

Answer 3

My middle name is Edwin. From my late uncle Edwin Darling Gupton, Union Carbide. He held the patent for the personal dosimeter. How's that for grooviness?

I also wore one when working on radar ( the old magnatron type,,, that dang radar was as old as I was,,, ) back when I was in the military so we could know if we should be expecting to sire any kids.
