Everyone has a theory
Of life, environment, and medical cures
If you ask experts they all vary
None know for sure
We all know about Einstein
And his theory of relativity
I wonder if his theory was a line
With a lack of creativity
Will anyone really know all the theories?
Is there a simple way for the to be solved?
With the weight the theories carry
I don't think that point will ever evolve.

beware of saying that the theory of relativity lacked creativity.  

Think about relativity....I'd argue, relativity is one of the fundamental theories OF evolution.   in economic, in social, in political, in psychological, in chemical, in biological and in physical media.
Think about it.

(sigh) I'd say all theories are creative, though the only One I'd really believe is Him, as He is the source of all knowledge of the world and its ends and beginnings! (big angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is wonderfully provoking, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Relativity as an underlying aspect of our evolution maybe but I wouldn't go so far as saying that it is a fundamental theory of evolution, C? Evolution be it social, biological, or economic is not going to have its basis in a study of the relationship of time to space, which is the keystone of relativity.
Strange though how one can state that the study of relativity wasn't a creative act...yet as a poem it opens up a window on my realizing how many people blanket themselves with their own interpretation of reality without
even going so far as to read up on how others like Einstein had a creative genius much like Newton  had before.
Will anyone ever know all the theories that have led up to reativity? I'm sure that at subatomic particle labs and such there are theorists who do but there are not mainstream movie stars or hockey heroes who get into the headlines or gossip columns.

Very interesting question you pose.  My dad always said, "a really educated and wise person finds out that the more you learn, the more you see how much you really don't know!"

Your dad coined that expression from a previous one stating that the more you know the more you realize you don't know...

But wordwizard what I was getting at was that all the theorists will not have answers to all the theories in my lifetime.

CanadianPoet -- I get it!

Wordwizard -- yes, he did -- many of our lessons were like that.

Doubtful, isn't it?  Sometimes seems like merely wishful thinking that we will find all things in true light.

Good to know what you were getting at, although the poem comes across differently
you aren't just referring to the lack of answers in your lifetime you're saying:

And his theory of relativity
I wonder if his theory was a line
With a lack of creativity

I see that and so does C?Anyway this is a poem and as such we're all free to express our opinions.

Canadian Poet, your poem has lots of truth and makes us think.
Theories are always changing, as is life.
The exeptions in theories are so many, as is in life.
Theories can be proven to a certain point, life's mysteries are left to creativity.
Where the theories end, creativity starts.
Your words describe this nicely.
I enjoyed it very much.
