"curved spacetime" [poem]

every time i try to reach out for her cream-face,
space and time -
that dead tree,
the soldier without limbs,
the clock, the bell, and the light cone--
curve below my feet,
making me sink--
making me drown.

and just the moment before i disappear,
i see her eyes,
like dust,
drift away -
forever.

Pretty nice. I also recommend listening to R.E.M.'s "Feeling Gravity's Pull", which has some GR and Mach's principle references.

Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.
