CAUSAL CONTROVERSY
-- James Ph. Kotsybar
The cosmos, once conceived as a clockwork,
we now believe was begun with a Bang
that’s thought to have come from a quantum quirk
of uncertainty from which matter sprang.
The laws of physics, carefully described
from observations of cause and effect,
to which for generations we’ve subscribed,
have come into question as incorrect.
Determinism’s been made obsolete.
Probability’s the new ruling force.
Newton’s been shown to be incomplete,
and we’re no longer sure who to endorse,
since Einstein refused to get up and dance
with random dervishes spinning with chance.
