The Quantum mechanics of God

Being splits

harmonious song

the mouth organ twisted blues

as migrating swallows

envelop and twist

a feather wing's distance

and dance

and Max Planck

broke the vision down

to sub atomic level

and the infinite creation of time

exploding, birthing, annihilation and reborn

and billions and billions of

nano vibrating strings

and broke on through

to the other side

the ultra= side 

the lizard king side

and invaded Kimono dragon dreams,

and the warped dimension

the 11 world inward spin

and words and whorls

Celtic tattooed frown

a tapestry of mime

that leaked an Angel or

two

but never lost energy

         it was finite you see,

and saw the depth of understanding

the standing of God ,

the perfect angle

mathematical formula

(solved)spoken in a dead language, spoken no more

the particle and the wave,

caressing and negating each other's  bones

I am unschooled in quantum theory, but just went and had a quick read. Like many scientific concepts, I find the ideas inherent in this mystifying. Very much like the idea of God and spirit. Really most things are mysterious and miraculous if I stop to think about them. And so we become poets.

Your poem gives me the feel of standing beside oneself and watching the ingredients of life be shaken out of those vibrating strings. Like energy is the origin and if we escape our minds and allow spirit to guide, we can stand in silence watching the particles come together.

There’s a sense of chaos, but within the chaos, order. Like creation itself. In all it’s messiness. But if we allow it to flow as it should, eventually it will all come together and be the self or thing it is meant to.

In spite of my Christian view of the world, I can believe in evolution and life crawling from the oceans to become variety and grandness, because I understand that creation is about laying down the elements and letting the system tend to itself.

For something to be self-contained, it must have the freedom to shift and grow and support life even if the mode of supporting is grim and unsettling at times. To believe we can know everything —or even anything—is a kind of hubris that prevents the imagination from doing its work.

Thus the psychedelic journey. With its own kind of mind-expansion. For those of us lacking the vision to see the nano strings through the regular windows of our minds.

Probably not what you were even trying to convey here. But your ideas struck a chord. And isn’t that what we wish for. The imagination to open up and reveal the hidden—angels and swallows and strings.

A very cool poem, Gram. Will be reading on quantum theory now so I can wrap my head around it.

hey, Eilis, thanks as ever for the read, the poem isn't exactly what I was going for, a bit abstract for even me, lol, but the God quantum physics thing is something I think about, like we only use 10 percent of our brain and 90 percent of the Universe is dark matter so if we can fully engage our brains and figure out dark matter, which is all but invisible, it's the absence of it that is the give away not a very coherent response, but if my poem has given you food for thought then that is a good thing, , so maybe God has left a scrambled kind of message in the quantum mechanics of soul, could talk about this concept for ages and probably will, thanks again for your eloquent thoughtful words, you always seem to see a little deeper than most other reviews, including me, lol

[Laurel Oak]

This poem is about slowly dying and suffering with dignity, it’s about making a meaning about something what there is not. To me it says the experiencing, the feeling is real, not the world.

thanks for your review, glad you enjoyed

[Chris Shaw]

Gram my Dad had a degree in physics, sadly I didn't inherit his scientific mind. I wish he was here to read this so he could try to enlighten me. Talk about quantum physics and all I see is darkness. Black matter that I don't understand. What I do know is that physics makes me feel completely dumb:))

Chris

[gram linski]

don't worry about it Chris, even Einstein didn't believe, haha, it's about the dark matter being dark because it has no name, once you turn the light on, it is known, sort of s**t, if you want more details you will have to ask the pen ,lol, thanks as always for reading in bemusement, lol,

[Chris Shaw]

I think I will just accept that physics and I don't see eye to eye and at my age I am just going to acknowledge I am unlikely to have any eureka moments :)

[Robert Trakofler]

and yet I am still awaiting the final results of the god particle:/ I thought that was going to be the holy grail of particle physics thank you mr. Higgs:( I suppose just like the bunny's mind... the more we know the less we understand we don't applies here as well LOL I too find it a haunting comfort in the knowledge that all matter is a particle and a wave oh how I love the waves my friend Sir Gram

[gram linski]

hey, B, lot of dark matter yet to find never mind understand, lol, thanks for the great review

[Terpsichore]

Don't know what was in your glass when you wrote this, but I'll have some. I have always thought that quantum mechanics was pretty much about attempting to explain the inexplicable, and perhaps more to do with our fixation on needing an explanation for every thing, rather than just enjoy what's on offer.

I am perfectly happy to let scientists carry on theorising and drawing conclusions, but upstairs knows best I feel, and I suspect that if anyone is going to unravel the mysteries of the universe, it will be a poet who's had one over the eight. :)

haha, thanks, might have been Absinthe or jaegermeister, both have direct links to the inner workings of God

[barleygirl]

Your poem reminds me of two opposing possibilities at the same moment. On one hand, the universe is so interestingly ordered, we might be inclined to insist there must be a higher power orchestrating it all. On the other hand, with so much that's unknown about the universe, we can hardly explain it or encapsulate it within the confines of the feeble human mind with our woefully limited way of considering God-like phenomenon. But in the end, how can there be so many different religions presuming to explain the universe when we don't know s**t about s**t! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[gram linski]

haha, aye you got that right Margie, the variety of philosophy and experience that we all consume, gives me colic just thinking about the s**t, the best thoughts are better off not spoken out loud, lol,
