paradoxically

[mnaz]

god created world created god
universe hurtles into universe
mathematics are exact like
pi to a billion digits so far

invisible to infinity
but infinite to invisible
we whisper sweet nothings
singularities and asymptotes

both sides show up
but neither wants the war
attraction is black magic
and moon’s a pizza pie

[WIREMAN]

Dean Martin sang that
Big pizza pie
Like flow
Flow-er
Good flow
Nice length
Contented
Glad I read

[mtmynd]

know answers - no answers
answers to stop questions
questions to start answers
life popped out of silence
to silence life returns
without answers
without questions
peace at long last

thanks, mark and cec ...

it makes sense that the rational mind cannot answer everything. (what was the question?)
a simple thing like pi amazes me--- ratio of circumference to the diameter, a repeating decimal that refuses to converge, in the face of math and geometry, as if it were nature's curvaceous defiance against right angles ....

"42"

The rational mind can always come up with an answer.

[mnaz]

of course! i forgot about '42'.... there is always an answer ....

thanks for the reminder !

"bistromathics"
I liked that bit too.
spooky math

I like to remind myself that just 100 years ago rational minds or what passed for rational in that zeitgeist brought us World War I.

Only Emma Goldman was crazy.

at the mystic number of the square root of negative one I bow down and pray for peace

[mnaz]

we must be passing thru some sort of "cosmic eye" ....

and yes, those imaginary numbers freak me out too.
are they like mathematicians' imaginary friends ? .....

"spooky action at a distance"

[mnaz]

"In Newton's theory of motion, space acts on objects, but is not acted upon. In Einstein's theory of motion, matter acts upon space-time geometry, deforming it, and space-time geometry acts upon matter." .....

gravity freaks me out. how is it possible?

i almost became a physicist, but i didn't want to get caught up in quantum entanglement.

haha ....
