“Only in mathematics will we find truth!”
But even in the numbers we can be wrong.
Now since truth itself is absolute, unlike time,
We cannot change the truth to equal our lies.
Time is only relative to your disposition in space,
But even that is as relative as your watch.
Trip the singularity of an event horizon,
See what the end results of your math will be.
I will tell you what I have found in the numbers,
“The distance between time and space are infinite,
Even if they are one fabric in this dimension!”
A finite mind cannot transverse an infinite truth,
And our knowledge at best is still obscure.
The wisdom in a string theory of quantum thought,
It is still a quest to find the infinite in a finite mind,
Again, at best, it is still faith hung on a theory.
Principles that bend and boggle the minds of men,
Can only open the eyes a little wider as we view,
The grand scale of this universe only in reverse!
A glimpse of a very distant past of time and space,
Where time speeds up as the space around us expands.
A dreamscape of knowledge and finite wisdom,
Where my mind travels into another time and place.
Playing with the numbers of a solution like a game,
“Only in mathematics will we find the truth!”
But tell me, in a poem it really all sounds the same.
