Yet Another Game Thread (YAGT).

This time, express a scientific principle in haiku form. I know it's been done before, perhaps zillions of times. Originals only, please (don't even posts links to online collections, thanks), as I want to see what we can come up with. And don't hesitate to post on a subject that's already been covered, if your haiku is more eloquent or humorous than those which have come before it.

An example:

Evolution: yes!
Alleles and population,
changing ratios.

Evidently, I rock!

OK, I'll give it a go...

If you can't test it
then it isn't a theory,
but only a dream.



In a closed system,
all things head toward entropy.
Gods get there sooner.


Hmmm. Scientific principle and personal opinion squeezed into one tiny haiku.

ok, these are my entries:

We were once monkies
So the creationists say
The truth is larger



Time is not constant
Ah, but the speed of light is
Chew on that awhile

Came up with a bunch in a few minutes. Haiku's are fun! Hope you like'em:

Threads not in needle
Yet can weave a large fabric
I hate String Theory

Slurpy, drippy, Yum
Full of passion and fertile
Primordial Soup

Love and attraction
Dancing, bodies drawing near
Act of gravity

About to explode
Can't hold it in anymore
Life of combustion

Angry Heisenburg
Confused and too erratic
Quantum Mechanics

Speedy diet plan
Run faster and gain more mass
E=mc^2

Water beads on glass

It's condensation.

Not science...


Thick skin, brutal spin
Republican media
Misinformation


Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.

Hydrogen head-on

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

Water was once there
Now has gone into the air
Evaporation

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.
