Ph: Limericks (Of Physics) #01
To love Physics one just has to care
For the universe heart described there,
Relativity's Laws
Are much like Santa Claus,
Einstein's Tensors just floating on air.
August 22,2014
Poet's Notes:
Just one hundred years ago this poem would have had a different ending...
Newton's Vectors just floating on air.
Post Einstein however things are both simpler and more complicated as physicists struggle to come up with an equation that describes everything! To help laymen perhaps just a little, a 'Vector' is a mathematical expression for a force that has a direction (in three dimensions) . A Tensor, though it is hard if not impossible to imagine except by means of a mathematical expression (a physicist cannot see it in his mind either) , can be thought of as a multi-dimensional Vector that can occupy more than three dimensions. Hope that helps! Ha! It seems that God's simplicity is not that simple for man! Who would have guessed?
You made Physics interesting too! It would be better to say, Newton's vectors floating in air.....truly that's what I feel in 11th std, after studying his accounts thoroughly....kudos! ....I miss you a lot....I hope we'll get time to chat someday...

Physics is the king of all sciences and if one loves Physics a lot more will be learned by one ahead. The learning here is capable of upsetting all your conventional learning sir - that`s the problem. Stephen Hawking is the living example of a person who read much into real physics without any restrictions.
