Pynchon and Parabolas

[Bill McCarron]

Extended into outer space, gravity becomes curved.  A rainbow, viewed from abov
e, is circular in shape.  Gravity is up/dow, yes/no, etc. most of the time (Poi
ntsman, so to speak).  Rainbow colors open up In the Zone for Slothrop--just as
 they do for Dorothy in Ozland.  Parabolic shapes depend on circumstances and
the observation point of the viewer.  Gravity is occasionally rainbow and rainb
ow gravity.  All has a sensitive dependence on initial conditions.  Hence GR is
 chaotic and only Pynch knows the strange attractor.
