In an Universe
Doomed by entropy,
That cruel and cold
Unavoidable death
Will dark matter
Add enough to total mass
So gravity wins over
Inflationary expansion?
Forces centrifugal
Giving way to centripetal,
Reversing the arrow of time
In a Big Crunch?
Through the nexus of
A supreme singularity
Into the heart of
An all-consuming Black Hole
Something called Reality
(Relatively speaking)
Would fold into itself
To greet patient Oblivion
When extremities shall meet
Yesterday becomes tomorrow
The all that is nothing,
The nothing that is all...
Will the mother
Of all White Holes
Throw 'It' elsewhere/elsewhen
In a reverse motion?
Or will the explosive Universe,
Going beyond
Its own event’s horizon,
Get unimaginably bigger and cooler?
To die...
At last...
As a timeless and infinite void,
Devoid of all light and heat?
Or is a cosmological constant
Reigning over?
Is a systolic/diastolic cosmic metabolism
The rule?
Will the fabric of reality
Tear itself apart
By it's own
never-ending growth?
Does Eternal Return
Have anything to do
With conventional concepts
Of beginning and end?
Maybe it's all parts
And no whole
As in the poet's intuition
About the so-called mystery
Or it could be
A circular "motu continuo":
The Ouroboros
Eating its own tail
Be it a non-dimensional zero,
A complex fractal infinity,
Or even an unthinkable
Combination of both
According to Heisenberg
And Bohr’s way
Ying and Yang must preserve
The equilibrium of the Tao
So, from victorious death
New life must rise
Again and again
As ever and ever
Pehaps escaping
Through myriad Worm Holes
Or replicating itself
In probability clouds
After No-time
In No-space,
That never manifested
Non-being,
(By a Mystery Ineffable
Fueled by Forces Unknown)
Surfaces from
The deep Beyond
Creating an Anomaly
In Hyperspace
And thus igniting
The eternal Big Bang
A collapsing Chaos
That died as a Null
Is born again
As a radiant Unity
Multiplying itself
In an expanding Cosmos
And generating space-time
By Necessity
Bringing on inexorable
Patterns of Order
While opening Fields
Of interaction
Granted by Chance,
Blind and mighty,
Creating the Possibility
Of transformation
Primordial axions
Coalesce!
Weightless photons
Coruscate!
Where is all
The Antimatter
That should
Be/Not-be?
What is
Dark Energy
And its supposed
Antigravity?
Why is
General Relativity
Incompatible with
Quantum Mechanics?
Give!
Me!
My!
Higg's boson!
Supersimetry, supergravity, superstrings,
Eleven dimensions, p-branas, M-theory,
Mesons and gluons,
Leptons and quarks
Up, Down
And Strange!
Charm, Top
And Bottom!
If Physics was a religion
All its priests would be praying
To their gods and saints
In mathemathics' Heaven
Aristotle, Galileo, Newton
Maxwell, Plank, Einstein
Dirac, Feynman, Hawking
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
Heartly pleading
For the 'Holy Grail'
Of an unified theory
Of Everything
In a Multiverse
Of impossible possibilities,
Parallel worlds,
Transfinite sets and open totalities
Schrödinger’s cat dreams
About imaginary numbers,
Half-dead, half-alive
Inside a hidden variable
When Energy
Becomes Mass
By polarization into
Opposite particles
And wave patterns
Interfere among themselves
There is just one thing for sure:
Uncertainty...

POST-SCRIPTUM:
De vez em quanto gosto de me arriscar a traçar algumas linhas poéticas, seja em português ou em inglês. Neste caso, trata-se de uma tentativa 'filosófica' de abordar a cosmologia a partir de alguns conceitos da física teórica.
BECOMING = DEVIR [do latim ‘devenire’] - Verbo intransitivo; vir a ser, tornar-se, devenir.
