“Spacetime… turns out to be discrete, described by a structure called spin foam.”

“They rowed her in across the rolling foam,
The cruel crawling foam,
The cruel hungry foam,
To her grave beside the sea:
But still the boatmen hear her call the cattle home
Across the sands of Dee.”

The windy white foam-dancers leap;
And the sea moans uneasily,
And turns to sleep, and cannot sleep.”

“O Mary, go and call the cattle home,
And call the cattle home,
And call the cattle home
Across the sands of Dee;
The western wind was wild and dank with foam,
And all alone went she.”
