201. Breaking Symmetry
ASTRO, COND-MAT, HEP-TH/PH, Various — By Jim on January 24, 2009 at 11:01 pmOur universe has things in it because
Chance quantum fluctuations enable.
Nothing is what violates Nature’s laws -
Something is apparently more stable.
Super-symmetry was asking for it.
It was just too perfect to be withstood,
And once it took the predictable hit
It lit up the entire neighbourhood,
And in that Big Bang, the forces all split.
Gravity, of course, was most serious
And left, having little to do with it,
And, to this day, remains mysterious.
Though we still work to unify them all,
Entropy says it’s too late for that call.
