The world, we now hear, br is all bits and pieces br that somehow cohere br (or only appear to), br on scales at once cosmic, br subatomic, and common br (some subsubs still to be sung), br all, all bundled up, br indubitably one, br each piece in its groove, br each string in its skein, br and proved on all tiers, br all bits fitted together, br without fuss or pain, br on one common tether br in synchronous stasis or flux br as scopes (tele or micro) br and colliders suggest. br The proof? That's what we crave, br a thesis that's proved br to the commonsense gang br and to physicists all, br the pro and con stringers, br met as bellringers br sweetly united, at last, br in one final big bang, br an astrophysical blast.
