To the Moon
Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven, and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth,—
And ever-changing, like a joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?
by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822).

It is indeed a great poem describing our dynamic universe of changing laws and constants in an non isotropic universe of gravitoethertons. Poets and philosophers see much ahead of scientists based on mathematical models.
