Huff and Puff
Something from nothing and kicks for free. Nod to Dire Straits.
Space doesn't expand at a speed. It expands at a speed-per-unit-distance, a very different kind of rate. Light's 186,282 miles-per-second limit only applies to mass moving through space. The rate at which space itself expands, again speed-per-unit-distance, has no physical bounds on its upper limit.
far far away
beyond beyond
along the raging rim
of it all
creation's engines
flat out inflate
slinging something
from nothing
at a rate
meaningless
to any earthly
understanding
a hemorrhagic
cornucopia
of Higgs laced
ink
oodled with jitters
strings
and other
silly
braned things
just barely
there
itsy bitsy
dodgy dots
never
to be
fully found
somersaulting
up and down
top to bottom
both charming
and strange
sometimes material
others ethereal
but a few
of the grounds
sloshing around
our cagey eight ball's
murky mix
no matter though
the myriad marvels
their majesty or magnitude
for the primal pitch persists
indifferent
that bleak tsunami
ever bloating
bearing
the inscrutable heat
of invisible shadows
and shapeless silhouettes
like vague titanic lovers
thrashing
in their sleep
more
and more
and more
and more
it comes
spreading between
the ancient
calico swarms
of firefly furies
strewn
by the billions
upon trillions
from the blistering
plasma
which bound them
to ignite
once
the dazzling
jewels
of the heavens
the sheer
architects
of light
now
mere zirconium
litter
antiquated afterthoughts
to be bullied
inexorably apart
to places
so laughably remote
not even photons
might hold
a hope
of reaching
each stranded
as isolated islands
forsaken
in a vast
black ocean
of unfathomable depth
then
one after another
the dusky clouds
of candles lit
shall lose
their flames
vanishing
as wicks burnt
scattered in
an everlasting
night
dead drift
destined
for consumption
like chum
devoured
by lurking monsters
who
at long last
the good
Professor Hawking
has predicted
will
in turn
whittle themselves
away
Higgs field - Named in honor of physicist Peter Higgs, is the field in particle physics theory that causes otherwize massless particles to acquire mass. A way to envision it would be as an aetherlike molasses permeating the universe which allows ethereal fragments of energy to manifest mass as they move through it. The drag of the molasses, so to speak, bestows mass.
brane - In string theory and related theories such as M-theory and supergravity, a brane is a hypothetical object with as many as eleven spatial dimensions to which string theory strings might adhere or occupy.
up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom are designations of quarks, i.e. nuclear building blocks which come in these six types also sometimes referred to as flavors.
Anyone who may wish to learn about cosmology will do well to read the following books by Brian Greene listed earliest to latest. He is an excellent writer and interpreter who can convey wild physics to mere mortals:
The Elegant Universe
The Fabric of the Cosmos
The Hidden Reality
Until the End of Time
