pseudocalm Jul 29

Drop grains onto the mandala,  like bricks on castle walls.
Form your words into a poem,  turn that poem into song.
But Entropy still sings a tune who's sound becomes each now.
Like the pendulum wields springs,  losing energy each swing.
Like Sparta wielded kings,  directional and proud.
We face the winds of space and time and entropy unbowed.

Ordo ab chao,  Grana Tao.
Ordo ab chao,  Order and Rhyme.

Order and Rhyme.
Order and Rhyme.
Order and Rhyme per unit time.
Conscious witness,  entropic shrine.
The un-veiled eye can see the next line.
In rivers of space and layers of time.
Through twisting, rotating orbital lines.
We face the winds of space and time.
Counting the nows with Order and Rhyme.
Ordo ab chao, Grana Tao.
Ordo ab chao, Order and Rhyme.

Keep your chin up, eyes open, and grapple with the force of yet another poem about entropy. ;)

What is JWST?

pseudocalm Jul 25

What is JWST?

What is JWST?   An innocent Q.
But deserving of prose.  I knew just what to do.

It's  ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶  jwst our first space flower,
Unfurling its hexagons.
Golden petals that thirst for the most ancient photons.

Jwst the thing that can see so much further than we
would have ever dared dream in the last century.

So you'd think it'd be hard to see our backyard,
After red galaxies melding with CMB.
But it's shadowy seat is what gives us the treat,
Of our hard to reach planets in infrared heat.

James Webb Space Telescope
Keeps surpassing all hopes.
30 years to develop.  At least twice we went broke!

A 10 year orbital cosmology store.
Survived through max Q,  and keeps giving us more.
30 years in the womb. Twas a legacy born.

There is so much light that can only be collected in the dark.

Seer

pseudocalm Jun 26

Seer

You know that you know what you know.
Built a raft in dimensions untamed,  seer.
Have you placed where you fit in their flow?
How to keep motivation aflame,  seer?

It's you who signed up for this game.

To know,  to know,  your power in tow.
Weighed down by your previous gains,  seer.
To know,  to know,  the narrative flow.
Now come to your senses again,  seer.

Touch wood or your insight will wane.

There's no going back,  no previous track.
To try is to know it's in vain,  seer.
Download,  call-back,  the universe hacked.
To try is to know it's a brain,  seer.

Now come to your senses again.

To see or not to see? Best to decide before birth.

Tiptoe through the chaos

pseudocalm Jun 24

Tiptoe through the chaos

Singularities merge.  Excess energies purged.
A concentric spread spacetime vibrational surge.
Till that deep distant BURP rolled through Earth with a CHIRP.
Proving we could observe,  and without optic nerve.

New physics!  We cried.  And all it implies!
We'll get LIGO in space,  Nobels,  and black ties!
Even Einstein stirred as the sigma concurred.
If the cosmos is waving,  then E is conserved.

From let there be light,  to electrified kites,
To lasers and mirrors observing the nights.
So let there be sound.  Let the chaos be found.
To the stars we ascend,  with knowledge unbound.

I <3 scientists. This is about the 1st detection of gravitational waves, for anyone who might not be sure.
