Leaving my general pettiness aside, I had not meant to condemn the use of science, or scientific terms and insights, in poetry. I think everything should be available, to be used, from Cockney to archaic language, to the language of the sciences, or of the Church for the matter of that.
I had been thinking really of chit-chat where advanced physics suddenly rears its head, trumping me of course, and I was amazed to see (not on the Pig) a recent discussion about where peop0le had got to -- the same people who spoke so easily of Nils Fanackerpan and Albert Oojamedoo, strings and I don't know what. It was nice to see what people can pick up in later life -- but as for arguing that Mr X was correct, and Prof Y was wrong, well, no.
Leanne, I am deliberately not calculating what day it is there, as I choose to believe you would not make such a tasteless remark about Sylvia, as much as she may have given me grief over the years.
