Astronomical Wonders (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

In our universe, the dark chest of wonders
Of Possibility and Probability opened up
In just the just right way:
Naked quarks spewed forth,
Among other things,
And boiled and brewed
Into one of the steamiest broths
Ever cooked up.

They somehow simmered and combined
Into the ordinary matter
Of protons and neutrons.

Quite independently,
By some unknown means,
Dark matter/energy arose, as well,
In just the right mix, and, luckily, too,
Some very long filaments,
Called cosmic strings,
Formed and survived long enough
To be useful as collection agents;
They were merely imperfections,
As in an unevenly freezing pond
A kind of a cooling flaw.

So, 'fortunately',
The cosmic strings attracted,
By their gravity,
Both dark and ordinary matter,
Which, in turn,
Attracted even more of the same.

These pearls of embryonic galaxies arose
And were strung along these cosmic necklaces,
As can still be noted today.

So it was
That some almost incidental irregularities,
Frozen out as cosmic anchors,
Were latched onto by matter, both light and dark,
The proportionate portions of which were favorable,
The dark matter dwarfing our ordinary matter
For some reason of a happy 'circumstance'.

Fortuitously, as well,
Anti-matter, if there ever was any,
Did not fully cancel out the uncle-matter.
