He always believed fusion would happen in his lifetime. He was a physicist and mathematician, an engineer and a man with an ever curious mind. I miss him more every day. I await the finding of that unknown particle with weight, and the day that particles fuse and atomic waste becomes fuel and we know the true power of the sun. Kudos, my dear!

Sam, I ...Thank you for all the wonderful comments!<br /><br />Sam, I did not know about your degree in physics or your friends at CERN. You have a fabulous background.<br /><br />Krista Tippett has written a book, "Einstein's God", about scientists' views about the creation of the world and God's hand in it. I recommend it. Tippett also has done public radio programs on the subject.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-62582777621004403262012-01-04T07:59:39.271-05:002012-01-04T07:59:39.271-05:00God did give the scientists a fabulously inquisiti...God did give the scientists a fabulously inquisitive mind...

So I appreciate how tricky it is to distill the physics into poetry...good job.<br /><br />For the record, I am also a strong believer in God's hand behind both the cosmic and the subatomic.Semaphorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945917520773585129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-22005765392199222322012-01-03T23:46:14.182-05:002012-01-03T23:46:14.182-05:00full of creativity!!!full of creativity!!!~Lhttp://www.untitledmoments.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-85667912830022080992012-01-03T23:04:30.858-05:002012-01-03T23:04:30.858-05:00I think it's as impossible for us to not searc...I think it's as impossible for us to not search for it as it may be to find it--we are compelled to take it upon ourselves to answer the unanswerable, at which I think your poem does a better job.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-39519286925017041952012-01-03T21:34:38.226-05:002012-01-03T21:34:38.226-05:00Nice reflections.
