We mistake theories for models
that only exist in the mind,
making definite predictions
based on large-scale observations
using a handful of arbitrary elements.
But unlike earth, air, fire, and water,
distinguished by all our senses,
there lives a force--
proportional to its mass, and
the square of two objects' distance.
An eloquent proof
of a delicate and physical dance.
Experiments devised to falsify,
emboldened confidence, or
demoralized by refutation,
upon further evidence--
justify further pursuits.
And new theories begin
to extend the old ones:
from Newton's gravity
comes Einstein's relativity,
explaining Mercury's revolution
with greater accuracy.
So too might we strive to contrive
that of everything?
Our current laws informing us,
we anticipate with our logic gates
how our last step shaped our present place
yet, still we contemplate:
what was our initial state?
Whether it be a metaphysical
or a religious take,
within an otherwise random design
we found these laws dictate
the leaps and bounds we've made,
all calculable, and giving reason
to further speculate.
Do all these bits and partial theories
predicate a grand and unifying story?
An unisolated, fundamental hypothesis
from gravity, to relativity, to quantum engineering--
we have inconsistencies,
fringe cases not rolling up
into any known meaning.
We find ourselves on the frayed edge
of a blackhole,
littered with Rosen Bridges.
Connecting the universe
from end to end,
we follow each thread
on an expedition into a quantum land,
where gravity is still
a force to be reckoned with.
Might we discover God, or
determine our actions predefined?
Our free will, obsolete--
a relic of an antiquated time.
Might Darwin's Principle
of Natural Selection suggest
as we self-replicate
and our genetics produce variables
at a slow and steady pace,
our dominant behaviors
become intelligence,
driving development
at an ever-increasing rate,
having no natural brakes,
we only accelerate
toward our own demise
or, perhaps,
this is how we all survive…
In either case, we are unsatisfied,
disconnected, and pining for
a complete description.
Our deepest desire--
a world order that predicts
even the most extreme circumstance.
And each day, many a brave scientist
searches for the next profound twist,
altering their thoughts,
to consider new features that might fit.
They endeavor to upend,
append, and defend,
unearth the next limit,
to what we consider
modern scientific.
