Death by Spaghettification

Poems

Like mathematical truth, certain are we

Like mathematical proof, revealed to be,

Mobius eternal, two sides into one

A single twist in time, never undone.

There and all over, all at once

Smeared and weird, as it is

Everything waves, the peaks and the troughs

Sinusoidal wheel, unpinnable floss.

But we are observing, the closeness of this

Measure with no error, the unseen with a kiss

Our detailed log of love, and of duality

Point in spacetime, wavefunctions cancel

Collapse our heart’s reality.

Like gravity and charge, another binding exists

Fieldlines and vectors, the arrowheads don’t miss

From me to you, and from you to me

Lines of infinite magnitude, for all of this be.

Bound by laws in an orbit, barycentre of black

Inside event horizon, continuation

We are riding the light, spiraling in

Until death by spaghettification.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I am a physics student, I wrote this for my fiance in his valentine card and he was really touched. I wanted to throw it out to some people to see what they think of it? Keen to hear any comments/criticisms.

Lovely! I can see how touching this is

If you are a physics enthusiast! ;) it's cute cute, funny and adorable in places but smeared and weird seems a little wrong other than that is a beautiful little piece and I love the name I'm a real sucker for a great title! ;) cheers SS

I used 'smeared and weird' as

I used 'smeared and weird' as a reference to quantum theory, nothing is certain, positions, speeds, energies, everything is smeared out over lots of possibilities, it's weird, you can't be certain of anything until you collapse a wavefunction.

Yes I know,

But it's a double edged sword, it throws the poem off a tiny bit and disturbs the mood, perhaps seperate the two words a little further but if you really like it and think it fits that's all that really matters :) it's still a great poem.

It's a rather intricate little work you got here, but honestly what drew me to this poem was the title. A seemingly delicious fate, welcome to the site and look forward to seeing more.

Death by spaghettification is

Death by spaghettification is my favourite phrase in all of physics, it's what happens when you stray a little too close to a black hole! :o)
