Todays' Words

I love it when you leave me
But I hate it when you go
And even when my eyes are shut
I still see falling snow

Schrodinger Says...

A cat placed a Quantum Mechanics scientist in a sealed chamber with a flask of poison, and a radioactive source. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e. a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the scientist. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the scientist is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the scientist either alive or dead, not both alive and dead. This poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibility or the other. Meanwhile, the cat has found a ball of string...

 

Today's Poem: The Ghost That Walks Behind Me

You are the ghost that walks behind me
The memory that always finds me
Footsteps on the breeze

All the things that came to pass
The sunlight on the frozen grass
The shadows in the trees

All the words we never shared
All the things we never dared
All the hurt and need

All the love and all the pain
All the years of sun and rain
All the time that's gone

The hours echo down the days
An endless parting of the ways
But still you linger on

Today's favourite word is...

"Natterjack"
