Dmitry has been kind enough to offer me space here. I hope I can live up to being the bard of physics. I may include verse dealing with other sciences such as biology. I hope it continues to amuse all who happen here.
James Ph. Kotsybar
The physicists in their studies transcribe
formulae that define reality.
Theirs is a cloistered yet secular tribe
that daily deals with strict duality.
Foremost, their math must be made to agree,
precisely, with all that can be observed,
though, often, what we are able to see
can misinform; they must not be unnerved.
To gain acceptance, they are overseen
by peers and the harshly economic,
while pressured to find covenant between
the classical and the subatomic,
and, though they cannot see their superstring,
keep faith that it will answer everything.
