Goblin Theory
Or how the universe really is
For many, many years scientists have been
struggling to understand the vast and varied mysteries of our universe.
Many have
tried, and failed, to unify the apparently conflicting
theories of relativity and quantum mechanics into a single truth that
would define the whole mess that is our space and time.
However, until now, that truth has remained hidden under layers of
superstition and religion at one end, and scientific super-jargon at the
other. The theory itself is uniquely beautiful and elegant, with one
central premise: the existence of supremely powerful other-dimensional
beings known as "goblins".
The theory was first brought into being in Manchester, where all good
things begin, by a being of the Guernseyrace
of Guerins as an explanation for various astrophysical
phenomenon such as active galactic nuclei. The theory, once born, was
seen to be easily reducible to smaller scales, as long as the size of
the goblins was variable.
As yet there is no direct evidence for the hypothesis; the goblins
have been seen so far only in their effects, as intangible as the wind
but just as real. However we hope to bring you experimental
breakthroughs as they happen. In honor of the Thoughts for the Day
that brighten the electromagnetism lectures of many poor students, the
following quote seems appropriate to the theory:
"Absence of evidence is not
evidence of absence." M. Rees
