Frank Starling, we love you!

The theories of relativity state (in part) that the laws of physics are true from all perspectives and in all environments. The Frank-Starling curve, which demonstrates the components of stroke volume (which, with heart rate, determines cardiac output, humans' single most important functional parameter), is pure and beautiful physics.

ODE
Oh, Frank-Starling how we love thee,
You keep us free from woe,
Please ever more be faithful,
As we on our journey go.
