TIME TRAVEL POEM: MAKING TOMORROW YESTERDAY Prologue TIME IS NOT A LINE BUT A DIMENSION, LIKE THE DIMENSIONS OF SPACE. IF YOU CAN BEND SPACE YOU CAN BEND TIME ALSO, AND IF YOU KNEW ENOUGH AND COULD MOVE FASTER THAN LIGHT YOU COULD TRAVEL BACKWARD IN TIME AND EXIST IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE. Margaret Atwood, Canadian Poet, Novelist and Essayist. STANZA ONE Moving between different points in time Done through quantum mechanics or worm holes A transcendent experience sublime Events not subject to normal controls STANZA TWO Multiple diversified histories Or parallel universe time travel Encountering cryptic discoveries A future the past can void or annul STANZA THREE An effect occurring before its cause Einsteins spooky action at a distance A happening or feat that overawes Past, present and future in confluence CLOSING COUPLET Creating an alternative future Each hypothesis flimsy conjecture Epilogue WHEN TIME TRAVEL IS EVENTUALLY DOABLE TECHNOLOGICALLY, YESTERDAY WAS A DEAD MAN WHO IS GOING TO BE BORN TOMORROW. Toba Beta, Indonesian Author and Poet POET: DR MICHAEL VAUGHAN DATE: TUESDAY, 9 SEPTEMBER 2014 PLACE: BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA
