Quantum Haiku?
the top of dawn –
a pine touched by golden light
on limbs stretching east
For those who have difficulties removing their “scientist” hat, allow me to translate:
this morning I observed
(without adequate blinding, true)
the top, east quadrant of a pine tree
reflecting significantly more light into my eyes
(p < or = .001)
than the other three quadrants.
For those into quantum physics, perhaps I should note that I didn’t observe the light reflecting into my eyes, but rather my observation consisted of light hitting my retinas . . . .
For those into quantum woo, what my haiku is obviously about is the higher truth that Buddhism and quantum theory say the same thing, but differently.
