the fundamentals report
Gog
said
looking
at the sun
“they say
it used to be
8
now it takes
13
minutes
for a sunray
to reach
earth”
we see
the past
x
on a metre bar
platinum and iridium
a metrologist
headache
krypton
standards and accuracy
perhaps
constants vary
libra
balances
weights and measures
on a cosmic
speed of change
Gog
said
“Magog
science does
not find truth
it understands
change”
slow
falling away
in a lull
dark matter
steady
in middletime
scientists
were intellectually
phase locked
and inquiry
took
forever
lost
in dogma
time
that evil
simulacrum
came to alter
things
fluctuating
the speed of light
in the vacuum
change
is truly
the only constant
Magog
gave
his weekly
fundamentals
report
it would be his last:
big G has gone lazy
newton
has gotten weaker
and weaker
electromagnetic force
is a bit stronger today
now let us talk about
the speed of light
it’s again slightly variable
oh bohr
and planck's constant H
electromagnetism
seems dimensionless
damn that large
number
may the force between
two electrons
all 25 parameters
be with you
lost tribes
lost people
assumed universal
electromagnetic
nuclear
magnetic constant
they say you’re exact
observed
the aging observer
from an aging
universe
you’re only as good
as your instruments
damn uncertainty
calculate
the spectra
of distant stars
anomalous luminosities
of faint galaxies
and quasars
orbital evolution
all decaying
like gabon
Gog and Magog
checked
the Oklo
phenomenon
alpha
the fine-structure constant
seemed well
fine
but light
does not
always travel
at the speed of light
nanoparticles fraction
look
strange planet
we need
the constancy of G
and the flux of a sun
gone
the iron wall
melts
a new age
carved in stone
homeomorphic
mugs and donuts
make peace
counting holes
in conflation
Magog
called out “Gog
there used to be giants”
oh jerusalem!
