Equality


E = mc2
and all is fair.

But "the approximate equations
in the original five
superstring models
proved too weak
to reveal membranes."


So into this universe we fall
into equilibrium,
membranes and all.

  3. Impressive, Philip! I don't believe we all fall into the equilibrium in the same way. We start out as equal and then.... boooom!

  8. Surprising new twist on equality. I am always amazed at how many different ways one subject can be presented. We are equally inspired in our unequal ways. :)

  9. Hi Philip, this is cool! Have you ever read Michael Moorcock? He has many stories that occur in his 'Multiverse', a similar notion and quite entertaining. Take care,
