Lost his job from Sequester-based cuts.
Though he thought to pull strings
It would not have changed things,
And, besides, he did not have the GUTs.
For the umpteenth time I am
attempting to complete Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. GUT is a Grand Unified Theory which seeks to
unite the three forces of Electromagnetism, Weak Nuclear (radioactivity) and
Strong Nuclear (keeping protons and neutrons packed together). Last I heard, the fourth, Gravitational
force, is still odd-man-out.
Maybe my unfortunate
protagonist is related to Bob Lutz, American Davis Cupper and doubles whiz of
the 1970’s, who did know a thing or two about gut as applied to his
string theory.
I wonder what that theory is gonna be when they finally have it, and how they arrive at it. And if it'll be simple or complicated.
ReplyDeleteDavid, perhaps this weak knock-off will suggest how to keep you on your TOEs (Theory of Everything):
ReplyDeleteAn old nuclear theorist named Stutz
Was sent packing because he was nuts.
. He believes he has pensions
. In fourteen dimensions
And sniffs for dark matter up butts.
Two good ones, Okie! And I liked your "jokey" on Bob Lutz' string theory.
ReplyDeletePost more often -- yours are always clever and well-written!
I believe the most common interpretation of string theory has eleven dimensions - ten spatial, one temporal.
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, I liked the limmies, both of them. I too think you should post more, you're obviously talented.
