Physics Schmysics! (11)

Once the whole world was
fire or earth, water or air.
That’s when God was head honcho.
Dissenters were rare.
     Then a diff’rent reality
Herr Einstein bared:
it seems e equal’d m
times the speed of light squared.
 
Cast your mind back to Al,
him of mad-as-March hair.
To eschew Albert’s “view of the u”…?
Who dared dare…?
     Yet some did disagree:
I, for one, bellow’d, “Merde!
Are you kiddin’ me…?
Energy’s m times c squared…?”
 
What else…? Dark matter, black holes,
charm'd quarks everywhere!
Leapin’ leptons, bad bosons,
far fruitier fare…?
     My Old Testament cosmos
can ne’er be repair’d –
not when energy’s mass
times the speed of light squared.
 
Are there cosmoi in parallel…?
Damn’d if I care!
Does my clock slow
the faster I go…? C’est la guerre!
     I’d prefer Al’d not shared.
I’d much rather be spared
each new round that compounds
“E be (zounds!) mc².”
