We were brilliant. We were unstoppable. And we were completely fucking insane.
I'd put pen to paper before it'd properly finished, half my neurons still buzzing; I'd had to get it down. Anything that isn't in the notebook after about a quarter'f an hour never will be: of course, when flying, everything seems so clear; trying to remember it seems trivial and distant, as you've known it forever, but give it half an hour and you'll be struggling for one word from that golden sentence.
And it HAD seemed clear. Crystalline. M theory, LQG, those stupid strings, even Lisi theory; all saying the same thing.
The universe was a series of manifolds. Is, rather. Each particle, each field, each brane, all twists in a twist in a twist in a knot. Everything is made of everything else; we are bumps in a lover's bedsheet, dreams in the mind of God.
And Jesus Christ, I need to do this again.
