Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics
...is where entropy becomes serendipity.
A physicist can tear a hole
in my happy knowing,
more easily than I can
tear a piece of paper.
Seeing the world through
a prism of quantum mechanics
untethers my very being
from this time and place,
catapulting me through
the vacuum of infinite space.
I feel dizzy,
staggered on my feet,
worried because one atom,
one electron or random photon,
may be all the difference
between me living out my life,
or spinning into oblivion.
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you,
you haven't understood it yet.
~ Niels Bohr
