Now, this is, again, a sort of a very genuine, physical poem.
I have my weakness.
As a biologist I have my weakness
for the most exact, hard sciences.
Therefore, I was so moved by having the possibility to see
the Kitt Peak observatories where they just
have observed something which proved the string
theory of the universe.
And, so, here studying Scientific American,
I used a few legitimate scientific terms
as Kaluza's theory and 11-dimensional supergravity.
So it's not my metaphors.
I read it.
They must know.
And, actually, it's a dialogue with a little kid--
with my little kid.
"Spacetime."
"When I grow up and you get small, then--
in Kaluza's theory, the fifth dimension
is represented as a circle associated
with every point in spacetime--
then when I die, I will never be alive again?
Never.
Never never?
Yes, but never never never?
No, not never never never.
Just never never.
So we made a small family contribution
to the quantum problem of 11-dimensional supergravity.
