An English Major Explains the Beauty of The Dirac Equation with No Success Whatsoever
Schrodinger, mostly famous for playing the piano
in the well-known comic strip by Schulz,
was not related to Vince Guaraldi.
It would be irrational to assume
any blood relationship could exist
between a comic strip character
and an actual pianist.
However, when particles of fiction
interact with particles of actual events
and individuals in the real world,
a blurring of fields
spins reality into questions
about perception and the role
of perception in its ability
to effectively distinguish
differences between what's real
and what's imagined.
The absolute value of this interaction
between variant components
is sometimes expressed
in terms of contradictory constants,
but these constants have the propensity
to collide and reform themselves
into elements which are not
constant at all.
The resulting spin of post collision particles
sends stability into temporary disarray,
which continues until intertia slows
the particles into an equilibrium of sorts.
The Dirac Equation is composed
of symbols and letters and numerals
which are virtually incoherent
to 99.8% of English majors,
who generally agree
that The Dirac Equation
(like most other equations)
is only beautiful
when one is able
see the unfamiliar
constellation of arrows
and capitals mixed with lower case letters
and brackets and parentheses and commas
and what appear to be fractions
as beautiful because the sum
of their appearance
cannot reasonably be categorized
as ugly.
