Herbert Nehrlich on Heisenberg and the Radical Shift in Quantum Mechanics

Even Einstein couldn't handle the idea of <br />quantum mechanics, it was too radical, <br />after all, there was the comfort of that Newton, <br />a fine scholar who believed in predictability. <br />Now, this Heisenberg fellow, brash, quick, <br />devoid of a modicum of respect for tradition, <br />giving birth to the Uncertainty Principle. <br />Thus, space and time lose their historic distinction, <br />we can no longer predict the outcome of events. <br />So, right you are Heisenberg, atoms do, indeed <br />exist everywhere at once, but how could they, <br />focus your eyes upon particle matter and wonder, <br />dropp it and observe only a portion to reach the ground, <br />you must weep at the loss of this certainty, no? <br />So, we look toward the collective universe, <br />desire to understand the wisdom of an innate spirit, <br />the reasoning of a universal intelligence, <br />and all this must be possible without the acceptance, <br />without a sliver of an acknowledgment of God, <br />who would, if he existed at all, take from us <br />and from all living beings, from the lifeless pebbles <br />and the imaginary laws of physics and mathematics <br />once and for all, the principle of uncertainty.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heisenberg/
