In socio-bio-chemistry and physics
And even applied and pure maths tests
Reduction absurdum, is the word, um
Fundamentals are simply the best
But you’re missing all the detail
If you think it would be no better
To explore with words, an epic tale
Than have Shakespeare…
…Just discover… a new letter
Seeing the big picture is where it’s at
Otherwise, you won’t see the full story
Avoiding the lure of fundamentalism
In the physical world, should be mandatory
But, when Einstein didn’t believe in spacetime
His advisor insisted the idea was central
See, there’s space, and there’s time
Like there’s length and width
But it’s the ‘area’ that’s fundamental
