See You Around the Square

The Rubiks cube is round, observed at atomic size
To see reality you must enter, take a peep inside
I’m not saying pull it apart, searching out a pivot 
But rather a microscopic journey, for our tiny visit 

Photons on its surface, weaving around in circles 
Can pass through with ease, external to internal
You see rotating squares, cuboid annoying design 
Yet molecules in blank space, spiral together blind 

Mosaic patchwork colors, atop firmaments of skin
Projections of light appear, as matrixes flow within 
Pictels turning relentlessly, of indiscernible pattern 
Interior fluxes created, hexagonal poles on Saturn 
 
Poppycock you say, it’s merely a frustrating puzzle 
Millions of us have tried, and most of us struggled
In truth that’s kind of right, solutions are in dearth
Lessons from history, of our once flat planet earth.

Really nice David and very creative from a scientific perspective inside the puzzle! Congratulations on your win! This is as unique as a "round" cube! All the best.

Thanks Sam, took me a while to figure out how to approach this, so in the end I decided to put a scientific spin on it, I’m delighted with the placement, cheers David

I agree on the larger scale of everything, spheres make more sense, but we still have a so much to learn about the cosmos, cheers David

Your end rhymes are fabulous to read; anything mathematically inclined gives me stress though, so I am moving quickly past this one. I used to unstick the stickers and place them in other places on the cube when I got frustrated, which was a lot.

Never completed more than two sides, But unlike you I used to pull the cubes out individually with some difficulty, then put them back in place, genius, my sister used to be baffled cheers David

I had to get my thinking cap on for this one Christopher, trying to reason out, making a Rubik’s cube round, done my best, not an easy contest, cheers David

This one is wonderful, and your terms are as complicated and technical as trying to solve the darn puzzle.

I never solved a Rubik cube in my life but I did pull one apart to see how it worked, I think that’s where I got this idea from cheers David
