Divine Physics

In the beginning God created pi,
needing a ratio, a standard mean.

The gravitational constant was next;
He designed this so matter would attach,
engineering all such substance we see.

Black holes are also part of God’s lab--
eternity might begin at their gate.
Gold from a supernova, fusion ring,
it sets the stage for stellar termini,
nudging nebulae, reigning in a sun.
Neutron stars abide, the forces within
immensely strong, crushing the nuclei.
Noble gasses, along with cosmic rain,
generations of Heaven’s stars blazing.

Genesis of all there is, like a blog
omnisciently opened so long ago;
divine are the laws that govern our stead.

(Pi is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter, equal to approximately 3.14.)
