Red MatterJanet Kuypers1/16/15
Try to understand everything in the Universe.
Even the science geeks
can’t explain how matter can function
They only way they can explain it all “stuff”
and only guess it’s properties
Sounds crazy, no?
but at some point in the game,
you can think of,
Like the Big Bang Theory.
to support your theory
the Big Bang Theory
Well, it has to be a theory,
but as those science geeks
we start thinking of the Big Bang Theory
Well, those scientists have been
and they see everything
wait a minute, even though gravity
flying apart. It makes no sense.
as a theory, to explain it, is that there’s
And one scientist happened to say
and, although the phrase makes
A bunch of things
lets lump it into this elusive ###
But what if this elusive darkness fiery—hot
that instead of making
it crammed all that energy
Let’s come up with a term,
ignite the stuff
into a black hole?
could be enough to collapse a star,
You know, this might be the cool part
when you’ve learned all you can
you come up with theories and look
Who knows, maybe this stuff was created
like, an intelligent Vulcan race
Maybe it was created
let’s call it “Decalithium” —
to collapse a star that was about to go or a black hole.
You see, anything is possible
so, be like that Vulcan mind you imagine —
and you’ll be surprised
