Thanks Jan! First, and probably last time I've written poetry about Physics, lol!

Always your unique "perspective" shines through! Now, you find it on the winner's podium! Well deserved. Congratulations my perceptive friend and blessings of new sight!

Thanks, Sam. What's a physicist's favorite meal? Fission chips! Appreciate your friendly message and congrats.

I was looking at winners. I think only you and one other chose physics. What nerds. heeheehee.

John Watt
Date: 10/11/2020 9:11:00 PM

I will gladly take that as a complement, haha.

a well deserved top placement. In math, I'm good with second. hahaha.Congrats, John. (can't wait till he lets us write a pleiades on food).

You could do both by writing about apple pi!

Congratulations on your win, John. I may have to ask my son (a physics researcher specialising in superconductivity) to explain this one to me though!

John Watt

I should call you my physics partner, as I think we were the only two. Yours was great, I wish I had thought of prism as you did; it would have fit nicely in this one. When your son has driven a train for 10 years he'll get his Superconductor badge. Hopefully he won't be ohmless. yuk yuk.

...relatively speaking, lol. Thanks for giving the nerds an opportunity to have some poetic fun with science, Joseph. Also appreciate the great placement ~ John

Your affable, alliterative answers are always awesome! Thank you Michelle.

Interesting write Tom! I thought you were going to launch in to the Theory of relativity! I can see your point of view! things are not what they seem! All the best in the contest!

John Watt
Date: 10/6/2020 4:03:00 PM

That would have been a fun launch, Krish, and funny too, as I am "relatively" ignorant of that area of physics, lol! Thanks for the visit, friend ~ John

The Egyptians used this to astrologically parallax signs to place their pyramids so precisely. Well that is my interpretation - great write, good luck my dear friend a superb write, and a very different unique write. So well penned John, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you dear friend. I did not know that about the Egyptians, but I do marvel at the pyramids they constructed. I do know that the brain does an amazing job merging the input from our two eyes to create a stereoscopic effect with depth perception. Appreciate your kind and interesting feedback.

very cool one for Physics, a topic on which I know basically NADA

You and everybody, haha
