Life and Death: Two Sides of the Same Quantum Coin

Life and death–
Two sides of the same quantum coin.
Heads you win, tails you lose.
Call the flip.
Tails you win, heads you lose.
Call it again.

Life–
What our consciousness manifests
when we flip the coin.
Death–
What our consciousness manifests
when we flip the coin.

Life and death–
Two sides of the same quantum coin.

Duke Beaufort March 16, 2024 at 1:49 PM Funny take on this Don. You're making me laugh and smile. There's a lot of probabilities involved in our presence and demise considering what we do or do not do. I like the math and physics attribute to this. I also noticed you took a hiatus from this site for several years. That is somewhat intriguing.

Richard Lamoureux March 12, 2024 at 5:58 PM True. We are guessing it may or may not be a loss. Aptly expressed. Don Iannone March 13, 2024 at 6:44 AM Quantum physics is a delightful spark for poetry. Too bad I am not up to the mathematics underlying it.
