NEUROLOGICALLY NORMAL Swimming in separate body oceans a variety of evolutions take place. In the dark, with secret motions, the neurons bunch in weird convolutions. Held gently afloat in nutrient brine, their dendrites mysteriously enlaced, they interact in ways hard to define, within the skulls in which they are encased. So they don’t become depressed […]
Read more "Neurologically Normal"If we could travel back in time from here to see past selves and give our sage advice, most likely we’d meet disbelief and fear in such attempts to make decisions twice. But if our past selves listened to us now, the paradox created might destroy the us who tried to change things anyhow and […]
Read more "Future Perfect"“I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition.”
– Paul Dirac to Robert Oppenheimer
“You forgot that science has evolved from poetry, and failed to see that a change of times might beneficently reunite the two as friends, at a higher level and to mutual advantage.”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Poeteye here. I thought I might share some background by way of these internet footprints. Feel free to check back here from time to time as I will be adding to this e-cv (electronic curriculum vitae) as I relocate past credits and publications. There’s enough here to get started, though: romance http://californiapoets.net/poems_previously_published/love_poems classical http://classicalpoets.org/poetry-by-james-ph-kotsybar […]
Read more "A Little Linkage"FINE-TUNED FOR LIFE Ours is the perfect universe, it seems, for forming atoms that will let suns burn. Anthropically, there are few other schemes to give such a magnificent return. The arbitrary masses we’ve discerned for subatomic particles create a balance of the forces, we have learned, whereby life is allowed to generate. Change any […]
Read more "Fine-Tuned For Life"UNIQUE PARAMETERS There is only one answer to creation. Though we don’t nearly understand it yet, there’s but one elegant variation emerging from initial values set that even allows molecules to be, much less achieve complexity of life, or suns to burn their planets distantly with not too much but with the needed strife. […]
Read more "Unique Parameters"BUBBLE UNIVERSES Our universe may be embedded in a bulk containing other bubble realms, while we are just a hologram within. The implication is what overwhelms. Though this explains why gravity’s perverse, our cosmos, then, is not the whole shebang. Are we part of a frothy multi-verse where one’s black hole is another’s Big […]
Read more "Bubble Universes"STRINGS ATTACHED Physicists foresee a utopia (once they squint through micro-myopia) where all of the forces of nature should become unified and be understood. Even in science, letting go is hard, and notions are the hardest to divorce, but, to reach there, they’ll have to discard their classical point-particles of force. While Newton works […]
Read more "Strings Attached"I thought I would introduce this post with a (reverse) fibonacci. The number of syllables in each line of the poem is the sum of the following two lines. Now, here is today’s featured sonnet on atomic structure.
