Here we walk
The Colorful Path
Green to the left
Now red on our right
Blue and purple underneath
Betwixt virtue and villainy
There’s darkness all ‘round
Yet ye cannae mis-tread
With Wizard Peter
As your alchemical guide
As our footprints
(the inverse space)
Change the path
The path also does
Change our selves

Tohu wa-bohu תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ
Bewildered and astonished
All begins
χάος, nihil
Ma 間 et Śūnyatā
One divided by zero
The infinite plane
Swirling excitations
Of four fundamental fields
Ringing out
Every direction
But definitely just
Forward in time
Eternally
We are hiding between
Detailed initial conditions
Shrouded ‘neath
Liminoid depths
Alakazam! emerges

Late Night Thoughts Listening to Mahler's 9th Symphony
WARNING!
IMMINNETN HASZARD!
Retep Draziw
separated isotopes of Uranium
to produce a weapon
based on some principles of
Newkular Fizsion
Abort, Retry, Fail?
Jesus said
"I am come to set the world on fire,
and how I wish
that it were
already burning!"
Professor Lawrence
Invented a device
To separate the U235
out of
natural uranium
high voltage accelerated the particles around
and the heavier ones
took a bigger circle
the lighter ones, a small circle
and landed in a container
This late night
Break it down for us,
Lewis Thomas
Tell us your thoughts
Yo
I cannot listen
to the last movement of
the Mahler Ninth
without the door-smashing
intrusion of
a huge new thought:
death everywhere,
the dying of everything,
the end of humanity.
All through the last notes
my mind swarms with images
of a world in which
the thermonuclear bombs
have begun to explode
in New York
and San Francisco
in Moscow
and Leningrad
in Paris
in Paris
in Paris
in Oxford
and Cambridge
in Edinburgh
...the outright death
of eighty million American citizens
in twenty minutes...
...radioactive fallout...
...we will have retaliated,
incinerating all of Soviet society...
If I were sixteen or seventeen years old
and had to listen to that, or read things like that
I would want to give up on listening and reading.
I would begin thinking up new kinds of sounds
different from any music heard before
and I would be twisting and turning
to rid myself of human language.
...
In Hiroshima the fires developed into a true firestorm.
Firestorms can melt roads, cars, and glass.
They can boil water in lakes and rivers,
and cook people to death in buried bomb shelters.
"Whoso is near unto me
is near unto the fire!"
Nuclear weapons can cause acute radiation sickness
The total energy absorbed by a 75 kg individual
with a whole body exposure of 600 rads
(fatal in most cases)
is 450 joules.
It is interesting to compare this
to the kinetic energy of
.45 caliber bullet,
which is about 900 joules.
---
I want you to forget about
the gaudy machines that scribble and babble,
about the liars and the heretics,
and focus now on this one thought:
Prometheus has stolen fire from the gods
Manhattan has separated unstable nuclei like the gods
hazard peter,
Now your fear is Total and Absolute
et
the Arc of Rebirth can begin
Transform yourself
from a dead stone,
into a living
philosophical stone!
Achtung!, Enso! Take caution
The circle is incomplete
Imperfect, insubstantial,
amorphous, non-separable,
transient, ambiguous
Now let trepidation and bravery intercept!
Welcome to the Lizard Peter show
