Chasing Cosmic Dust

“Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.”  Albert Einstein

Infinity is sought through telescopes, ultraviolet and infrared gathering spectrographs or miles under ground, smashing atoms round and round-
The super-collider purports to recreate the beginning of time.
Dark energy mystery, a physicist’s riddle:
the philosopher’s dream of a “grand unified theory,”
Emerging from dark matter or the glue holding
Reality intact, or so they think, with the promise of multiple dimensions
Held together by superstrings.  Elastic nebulae, supernovas,
Space-Time formulas and  “m” theories dizzying to the nonscientific mind.
Particles, antiparticles or weakly interactive massive particles
 muons, quarks and bosons collide and repell, appear and disappear
Collapse upon themselves within shadow universes.  Black hole vacuums
Ingest and implode quanta, the event horizon reached
Relativity is suspended.  Simplicity states
The microcosm reflects the macrocosm reflects infinity mirrors.
