 Entropy


Just as all energy,
equals mass,
sometime in the future,
sometime in the past.

So it is with our world,
disappearing so fast.

For nothing is permanent,
on a universal scale.
One side is vibrant,
the other side is pale.

If you don't cry in your beer,
it still will get stale.

That world you see out there,
is in a state of motion.
What appears to be solid,
undulates like the ocean.

Gas, liquid, or solid,
is all just a notion.

Charmed quarks and pi mesons,
in the universe of their own,
spin violently erratic,
to their own spacey tone.

Shape the world with movement,
and never leave it alone.

If we could look deeply,
into the hardest of stone,
we could see it squirming,
like a termite's home.

For all is temporal,
and on the roam.

So the next time you see,
Patina on a fine antique,
it is entropy working,
its goal to seek.

For all is nothing,
after its peak.

I first discovered 'black holes' from Dr Who. Just as well the end of the universe is a long way off, unless we destroy the human race ourselves and that's no impossible.

All things change in time. Delightful poem reminding us of how temporary everything is.

Stay well and keep writing

The idea of existence played out for the reader to entertain multiple meanings. Interesting.

Entropy: When something shrivels up and drops off. The bane of mankind, emphasis on "man." Alas, poor william, I knew him well.
But seriously, you have omitted that which many call the universal constant, the driving engine that inspires the poet, defies the logician,and consoles the aching heart. We call it Love.

Took me many years of grappling with the idea of entropy, for most of those years I didn't know its name. Oh, I understood we were part of a solar system and revolved around the sun. I knew that, but the idea that solid mass, as I defined solid mass, could be pulsing and grinding away in a suicidal effort to do away with itself. I'm aware now the force behind this "changing" of solid mass won't necessarily be forever gone, it will merely change its appearance, and maybe even its own galaxy. Sigh. I try not thing about that, it tends to give me monster headaches.

Sobering ... a long view ... abolish polish ... let it go where it will ... nihilism or freedom to roam ... I liked this!

Virus X by Frank Ryan

Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus

Darwin's Blind Spot by Frank Ryan

The symbiotic pattern of evolution is everywhere and allows us a very different and fascinating window into the way symbiotic viruses work, since all viruses are symbiotic, including those involved in our human reproduction.
