Earth Physics Comments

As a causal foundation, the big bang is both too far away and not far enough away from the livable world we inhabit. The hungry mind still hankers for an explanation: Why Mom?

Those silent bangs you hear are enacted in the minds of our cosmologists, Their inquires into the source of everything have led them to a massive explosion. (With a few billion more simulations, I wonder if scientists will aslo be able to predict an end?)

Yes, we have a very lucky relation with our moon.There is sufficient regularity in its movements, so we can predict tides, but according to the third body problem, the moon-sun-earth relation will produce movements that will never repeat exactly over time. We will certainly not be condemned to a repetitious future.

So good to see a poem on physics - a rare subject for a poem. Oh computers Please tell us why the Moon Is shy not to show the other side of her pretty face This is such a pertinent question. A very sweet poem on perfect ratios. Enjoyed reading it Yiyan.

Those who believe in God have nothing to fear from the scientific mind- may they never give up trying to discover the how of us. The why of us. What they come up with is very interesting and sometimes mind-blowing but quite often some other brain walks up and changes the face of science with a new nugget of knowledge! Love your poem!

Thought-provoking write Yiyan and very interesting!

Perhaps quantum computing might help? ? I tried to explain how to calculate the distance of stars from the earth once to somebody whose religious beliefs dictated the earth was created 8,000 years ago. I couldn't convince them.

A very interesting write.
