This poem goes out to awe of those fascinated by both, Zen and quantum physics – plus those intrigued wannabes…
Reality Claps
What is the sound of one hand clapping? —Zen koan
In the context of Schrödinger’s cat, “collapsing” refers to the process where the superposition of the cat being both alive and dead resolves into one definite state when observed. This concept highlights the measurement problem in quantum mechanics, questioning when and how quantum states transition to observable realities. This represents an event horizon between the objective, measurable probable reality, and the subjective, the other side, a singularity of possibility affecting awe in its presents.
Schrödinger’s cat is
In there box
Littered with this and that
Mysteriously both
Alive and dead
At the same time
Billed as a super position
Maintaining as cannot be
Helled together
By lesser mines
I object
Mirror litter
Clung to ether or
Cleaving neither nor
Weather or knot
A simple madder
Of what’s the matter?!
Energizing stuff!
Animating dis course or that
Collapsing into a definitive state
Coaled dead
Won or the other
Probably true
Possibly false
Con stricting up
Narrow wing down
As soar a bout
With modern fax
And ancient wisdom in memorial
Sow wanting
Being factual
Being true
The ruler of men
As measure meant problem
Won regarding halving stuff
The other subject to a singular soul
A ledge id farced
Only to be
All for naught
Who does that!!
Limit axing
Just taken
Aside
In two the would shed
Given one side rules awe
Both
And
Peer and peerless
Observe that!
Violence is too hubris-ridden, full of juicy justifications, to not reliably rebound. Nonviolence in response to violence calls for great creativity and courage…
Under stand
When effaced with
Of the gene pool
