Primordial:
"One physicist remarked recently,
'I am tiring of the nonsense legend
Which finds one end of Universe closed,
By a required beginning event
And the other end open to infinity.’
The concept of primordial–
Meaning before the days of order–
Which imply an a priori,
Absolute disorder, chaos, a beginning
(‘The primordial ooze-gooze explosion’)
Is now scientifically invalidated, passe."
