Sorry chaps, but string theory has hit some serious snags∗. The theorists
keep throwing micro-dimensions at the problem, but I suspect that we have
a "wheels within wheels" situation here. Someone needs to invent the 21st
century equivalent of the elliptical orbit.
The consequence of this is that there is, as yet, no Grand Unified
Theory. Without GUT, there can be no 3 Violins. A female choir would be
my choice for the foundation of the universe.
As for tachyons in your Mellotron (the infamous Tachytron) I'm using mine
to decompose some classic material for my previous CD. I've decided that
I will have already included "Supper's Finished", "The Lamb Gets Up On
Broadway", "To our Parents' Parents' Parents", "Returning From The One"
and "Heart Of The Sunset". I was going to include "The Six Wives Of Henry
VIII", but the climactic final track "Catherine Of Aragon" wasn't quite
what I was hoping.
