Example Poem
The Earth was Deemed
Flat ( Double Ballade Supreme)
For twenty-something
years he worked at Palomar
as staff astronomer,
and published works of note: *
The Atlas of
Peculiar Galaxies went far
and gained repute
through-out the field. His peers denote
some galaxies by
numbers from that book and vote
thereby for his
significance. "They are a
clue",
said Arp,
"these galaxies give us a means to hue
our theories of
formation by what we see".
For some entrenched,
his notions were a bitter brew
for Alton Harp
displayed what science ought to be.
The astrophysicists
have classified a star
as artifacts of
gravity alone and dote
on math based models
which grow more and more bizarre.
Though Alp did not
attack the fact that math hath smote
down common sense,
his questions surely rocked the boat.
Institutional dogma
had professed things true.
when they accepted
so much math as things we "knew".
His observations
shakes today's cosmology
His arguments
required no formulas that grew
for Alton Harp
displayed what science ought to be.
When Edwin Hubble's
claimed that galaxies all are
receding faster when
afar, his was the quote,
the key allowing the
Big Bang to be the Star.
A Doppler "Red
Shift" let that theory stay afloat
for now expansion
could be measured so they wrote,
and thus defined the
Universe's birth- in their view.
Though later Hubble
wrote of doubts, I will tell you
It came too late;
the "Law" was a fait accompli.
And only now are new
tools convincing a few
for Alton Harp
displayed what science ought to be.
At Palomar his
'scope-time was completely barred
so those involved in
relevance might well promote
projects that fit.
Arp soon bid them an au revoir.
As others now pick
up the cause and they devote
themselves to
validation, common sense and denote
"experimental
observation", there'll accrue
an ever larger group
that knows Big Bang is through.
That stars are
nuclear was ever but theory
and models never
worked; the EU theory grew
for Alton Harp
displayed what science ought to be.
The standard model,
grows noetic and bizarre
as better tools
disprove assumptions made. They bloat
their models with
new constants and reset the bar
as though
inventiveness conveys the right to gloat.
The established
names hold true science by the throat
but human history
keeps me from being blue,
they sought to block
ideas of Galileo too
and Arp's experience
repeats that history.
They're ticketed to
ride on notions now untrue
for Alton Harp
displayed what science ought to be.
Since plasma actions
can be seen in a Bell-jar
and gravity's known
force is weak and so remote
some looked to other
forces to create a star.
At ten to the
thirty-ninth, (and that is no misquote),
times stronger than
the force of G, where G denotes
the gravity's know
force, it's easy to construe
an magnetic role*
shown a model to review.
The Birkland
currents fill the gap satisfactorily.
Free-thinkers deem
those forces lie in their purview
for Alton Harp
displayed what science ought to be.
The geocentric folks
took plenty time to stew
and time will pass
before Big Bangers all come to.
Since faith's
replaced deduction, truth's now a decree
but that will
change; there'll be an academic coup,
for Alton Harp
displayed what science ought to be.
