SAN MATEO, Calif. - Californer -- FOR ECLIPSE DAY (April 8, 2024):

To help you celebrate Eclipse Day, treat yourself to a poem about the origin of the universe called "Cosmolo…Gee." It's by Robert Barrows of the Planet Earth.

HERE IS THE POEM:

"COSMOLO...GEE"

Copyright 2006 by Robert Barrows

The universe began a long time ago.

How and when, we'll never know.

Did it begin with a great big bang?

Will it end in a tiny black hole?

Is it one continuous loop?

Again, we'll never know.

How does matter begin in a world without anything in it?

How does life begin and does it begin the first minute?

Do you think we will ever be able to go back to the beginning of time?

And will we find out the future there, too?

Is there reincarnation and déjà vu?

Is the speed of light the ultimate limit?

is E=mc² just one plus one equals two?

The answers to these might keep you up at night.

And how do you prove if you're wrong or right?

And imagine our surprise if we can someday go back to the beginning of time,

and we hear someone say..."Let there be Light."

You can also see the poem "Cosmolo...Gee" and some more poetry by Robert Barrows in a book called "Crazy Robert's Poems and Potential Song Lyrics" that you can download for a dollar on Amazon.

And…as to the origins of the poem and my thoughts about the origin of the universe…

"When I went to college, I was originally planning to become an astrophysicist, says Barrows, but I couldn't do the math."

Also please note: In some computer programs, the formula E=mc squared may wind up as E=mc2 (which would be a much different universe, indeed).

And of course, have a Happy Eclipse Day! While you are waiting for the sky to darken, you can celebrate it with a reading of "Cosmolo…Gee."
