Newton and the Infinitesimal Nut

I thought of all things great and small -
what happens to an apple or a ball.
Maybe, I'll try calculus.  But
can it crack the infinitesimal nut?

Poor Mrs Newton

Poor Mrs. Newton had two kids.
One found gravity.  He was bright - 
while little Fig hit the skids 
and was eaten in one bite - 
different as black and white.

Action And Reaction

Isaac Newton is said to have stated,
'For every action,
or force in nature,
there is an equal and opposite reaction.'
And the proof in his pudding is...
If I exert myself
in search of who knows what I want to be,
it also brings to bear
an equal and opposite influence on me.
As, by doing so,
my own headwind I create,
which inhibits my

John Newton

Ex-slaver and minister John Newton
faced constant calamities, yet still escaped ruin.
The lyrics of “Amazing Grace” show he greatly was relieved
when he wrote of his conversion “the hour I first believed.”

New from Newton

Why all the fuss?
Having trouble with calculus?
When dividing a number that may vary,
it needn't be so scary - 
such division, not so primitive,
is called a derivative,
and the inverse of that operation,
a new-fangled multiplication,
which, by storm, is taking the nation,
by the name of integration.
If you disagree, and are disputin', 
take it up with Isaac Newton.

Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton
You seem so un-done.
Why don't you try to blend 
When everything is lend.

INERTIA and ISAAC NEWTON

So restless was Isaac Newton
with physics laws had so much fun
Defining the inertia of truth
shows he was quite a sleuth

humanity

Poets are the sense, philosophers the intelligence of humanity. ~ Samuel Beckett 

Line of enquiry: Newton’s First Law of Motion (Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

The Three Apples

Eden's fruit gleams red —

Knowledge wounds deeper and sharper than now

Silicon dreams wake


Gravity's whisper

Via a slew of logical falls

Into neural nets


Jobs' crystal garden

Where aluminium meets glass

Future blooms within


Digital serpents

Now weave through quantum orchards

Teaching metal minds


Machine-wisdom fruit

Ripens on carbon branches

Beyond human reach


Paradise regained?

Or wandering circuits that learn

To think like gods do?

Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac once sat in the shade,
When an apple fell, so he swayed,
He thought, "What a sight,
This force must be right,"
And thus gravity’s laws were portrayed.

Isaac Newton

There was once a great scientist named Newton,
apple fell on the head of famed Briton.
       Lest the spark of gravity
       escapes from brain’s cavity,
all the time he put his thinking hat on.

Olivia Newton-John

Miss Olivia Newton-John
She transforms into a sex bomb
Sandy Olssen in Grease
Who wears pants that don't crease
That outfit sure gave her aplomb!


For filming she's sewn in her clothes
That's quite bothersome I suppose
How she managed to dance
In those skin-tight black pants
And visit the toilet, who knows!

Ode to the First Octant

Eating my oatmeal, sipping my tea, 
“Where”, I wondered, “should I stroll today?
I won’t be rash and decide in a flash.
There are choices to carefully weigh”.

“Left/Right, Up/Down, and Forward/Back - 
There are but three choices to be made.
I will be smart and think like Descartes.
Then, I can begin my promenade.”

3D was an art, before Descartes
And

Honne

I live in this half-world
doubting the veracity of
words
words of supposed comfort
scraps of care
of whitewashed expression

do you seek to protect me
or to beguile,
draw me into your place
of uncertainty
of quantum thoughts,
shut me in your Schrödinger’s box
until I cannot tell
what you feel
what you say

I want conviction
Newtonian conversation
of truth and certitude,
not to peer through
telescoped eyes
searching for Polaris
in your inumbrated

A Letter To Sir Isaac Newton

Living without a father wasn’t a good fate
This in the future could bring about immense hate
But this did not stop your talent and purpose
Although you were a premature baby
This would not stop your mental development 
Your curiosity became a spark to go beyond the norm

Your best friend was the truth
You needed to know the reality
