It is the Thunderbolt that steers the universe. (Heraclitus)
Feeble force of Gravity
Ill founded-university.
NB! Electricity
Overriding energy.
Universal current flow
Filaments may faintly glow.
Shorting yields an arc-light show
In short: all stars are “touch and go!”
Short and enlightening.... I like it!

For me, Tommy, ze var iss ofer. Thanks for enlightenment re Traven - I can either do Mastermind and get that one right, or just die with more info!
"Light-bulb? We ain't got no light-bulb. We don't need no light-bulb! I don't have to show you any stinkin' light-bulbs!"
Apologies to B Traven
A touch of the Marty McFly's! Cheers Simon.
The ebullient Isobel CHALLENGED me! And 'Switched On' was the result. Had she called me a coward, I would have simply admitted it.
Less is more! Sparking stuff.
A point well made Tommy. Well made indeed!
I see you haven't fixed that lightbulb yet.
Hi Barrie-it's taken 4,500,000,000 years for modern humans to evolve from a molten earth; 5/6,000 years ago for the development of recorded science; the first accounts of recorded astronomy 3,500 years ago; 400 years ago for the development of the telescope; the first confirmed detection outside our solar system of a planet occurred 11 years ago, it's taken 11 years to confirm detection of over 1000 more. Last month (September 2013)cloudy with sunny spells was forecast on Kepler-7b over 1000 LIGHT years away or 5,878,499,817,000 miles from Michael Fish :) Tommy ps-all timings and distances are an approximation.
Oh gawrsh! (:o)
Good on ya Barrie!
I'm also impressed that anyone can write a scientific poem without a soulful artistic response to it all :)
Thanks for posting. x

Great pun Cate! If you want to be cosmically blown away, search 'Electric Universe'. Visual stuff will have you writing poems till you drop.
