Here’s a (near) play on full moon: null foam = what existed before the (supposed?) Big Bang That reminds me of an old (1994) play of mine on “do not worry”: donut whirry though in that I was thinking whirry was a noun when actually it is a verb meaning to go quickly. I was thinking that whirry meant a foam. Oh, in my original usage in 1994 I wrote “donut whirry/wherry” and wherry is a word for a rowboat or barge, so combining the two (whirry and wherry) you would have a fast rowboat. From Wikipedia: "Quantum foam or spacetime foam is the fluctuation of spacetime on very small scales due to quantum mechanics. The idea was devised by John Wheeler in 1955.” Also from Wikipedia: "Zero-point energy (ZPE) is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system may have. ... Physics currently lacks a full theoretical model for understanding zero-point energy; in particular, the discrepancy between theorized and observed vacuumenergy is a source of major contention.” I also have postulated that time has an imaginary component which was much more important near the (supposed?) Big Bang. And of course there is tmy Wild Rover Poe-M from mid-June, 1993 which is supposed to contain some physics clues: ...FrEE_Lancers' G_yNhAME G_naw f/l/NAmiss, NuNe our Never 'n MOreo oo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OUIow, the uni-verse, L.whee DRUInk-rD aura FU-syZY, G_ee, circle-T P/ToeMa-knEE dense eNFanTime 'round T'Wean dark, from light Dis lex 'ick T-waIsted AC-Scent PR-One to M/LIce S/B hare, leaf is / all re but-t fruit loops chopped, sum bits dropped, sLaphter and PneUNs a par fait danSH Z\'est nu f(1) T fore too Chi/me dark to light C/Home light to dark _ sea, ole Port ‘eh have & helf, black et tan, wHEY t' fur the rigged barE, tinders of nut and dew. onDe leFt le femME noIre BB uRe gidde all weigh fael sLlabelLs Where the P/Toe is a reference to the p/tau method in Geophysics, and the beer references in the last few lines I think are again referring to a foam in part, and the onDe leFt is partly a reference to ondelettes (wavelets). I’ll try to interpret all of it someday but not tonight. (But there are multiple meanings, e.g. have & helf refers to Half and Half and also to Heaven and Hellfire and also to that Farside cartoon where the guys stranded on an island have helf in the sand instead of help, and are not rescued.)
