Eternal Infinity

Our scientists say that before The Big Bang

There was Nothing

And therefore

No God.

 

Through red-shifted space they “see”

Back to The Beginning.

Exploding Singularity.

A photon winks into existence

And BOOM.

 

Yes they are conceited enough to think

That all we see is all there is to know.

Like people pre-Pythagoras

Who thought the Earth was flat

They Lord it

With Confidence.

 

Yet Eternal Infinity

Beckons us on.

 

A light year is 5,878,499,810,000 miles.

An estimated 81,000 years Ion-Drive flight to the nearest star.

About 100 thousand million galaxies in the universe:

70 thousand million million million stars.

But we know it all.

 

Some say our universe is a bubble

Growing within another

Like a baby in a womb.

 

Some say it will grow forever,

Slowly petering out

‘Til all is cold.

Others that it will stop, shrink

Implode

Then be reborn

With another Big Bang.

 

Who knows what will happen?

Not me.
