A clerihew by hutschi of ‘Neues vom Hutschi’

Paul Dirac constructed a strange adjunction:
He knew all about nothing
and called it the „Delta function“.

Erwin Schrödinger
is best known for this zinger:
A hypothetical puss that's both dead and alive...
Clearly proves Copenhagen's contrived!

Nota bene!

The 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded jointly to Erwin Schrödinger and Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac “for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory.”

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
