Spacetime

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Nov 04, 2016

Einstein called it spacetime, opposite sides of the same coin. The Universe is expanding. In fact, science says the expansion is speeding up. But what is it expanding into?
Time gives us a clue. What is time expanding into?
Yesterday is tangible our memories intact. Tomorrow just a concept yet to be fact. The arrow of time creates history as it blithely moves along, but it moves into nothing, nothing at all.
Einstein proved spacetime is a fabric with ripples and more.
Space then as time is expanding into nothing, nothing at all.

I love your deep thinking JG.....and the deeper you think....the more the whole concept becomes unimaginable......because we haven't been here long enough.....we are not clever enough.....yet......remember when clever men thought the Earth was....flat!....yes they were called geniuses at the time......now a five year old knows more than them about the shape of the planets!....give us another million years..then we might "know," ...where we came from?.....but I doubt it...love your thinking..
