I submitted this for a poetry competition, theme math:
Immortality is what many seek,
They seek what they know not,
They desire what they ought to fear.
I am no one,
I am an idea,
I am what some fear,
what few desire,
what few embrace,
I am what the ignorant claim to understand,
I am math

Have you ever seen a sentence that’s well articulated & think? ‘DAMN, THAT’S GOOD!’
Here’s the sentence that made me think that:
“diffraction:
redirection of electromagnetic radiation that occurs when it encounters a physical barrier of appropriate dimensions”

Astrocytes make up one-quarter of the brain, but researchers are only now realizing their true value.

Working on a homework assignment for classical mechanics and was reminded of how cool Dr. Isaac Newton is/was, he was exploring the magnetic force ahead of Maxwell. I honestly think that’s pretty awesome and thought of @elkement.art, @stevenstrogatz.com, @neildegrassetyson.com 📚
