Hey, anybody seen Alice and Bob?
You know, Alice and Bob who appear in
all the thought experiments? Come on, Alice
and Bob, man, stop fucking about!
Alice teeters above a black hole, as Bob
drops below the event horizon, to be spaghettified,
unseen--good way to hide a body, unless you
count the holographic principle?
Yeah, sometimes Alice would be the one to drop,
Bob passively watching - he grieving, I wonder?
Was Alice his soul mate, do you reckon? While
we're at it, how did Bob escape the first black hole?
It disturbs me, whereas only the loss of
information makes theorists upset; the messages
more important than the messengers, clearly ...
I haven't seen Alice and Bob for a while
Did something go wrong: an unsafe experimental
set-up? Shit, no way that work was unionised
Did they both fall into a black hole the gravity so
strong, thought-experiment subjects can't escape?
I guess their work could've dried up? Perhaps they
were replaced by computers? They could be out
on the streets; failed to make the rent
Hell, they were frivolous, young, engaged in
high risk work; they never saved for a rainy day
They spent so long in space, I bet rain was just
forgotten memory; lost information, irony eh?
Maybe they were never a couple?
