Super Infrared

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle
Can tell me you've moved
But it can't tell me how fast;
Or it can tell me
You're nearing light speed
But not if you're coming closer
Or moving farther away from me.
Yet I can feel the sunlight
I know it takes eight minutes
From the central fire of the solar system
To reach my skin
And so it is, I can sense the flame
Of your presence
Even a million years distant:
Nothing else gives off as much light.

Science embraces Art as if they had been lovers for infinity and beyond! Spectacular! :)

Kate Sparrow
Wow! Very cosmic! I love the metaphor, it's so unique!

You have turned science into poetry with such easy skill. This poem is a benchmark for the rest of us. Utterly outstanding in every way.

Sandra Martyres
brilliant piece...you make super connections - "I can sense the flame Of your presence Even a million years distant: Nothing else gives off as much light"

from quantum theory to matrix mechanics. the morning has been full of physics. momentum versus position and all that. and i almost forgot it took 8 mins for sunlight to reach us. brilliant rejig there.

Spellbinding in majesty, yet distilled to a pinpoint. This one proves a marvel of proximity and passion. Warm regards, John.
