The Reality Of The Impossible Poem by Paul Hartal

Nature abounds in fascinating phenomena,
in outlandishly bizarre behaviors.
We certainly live in a very imaginative.
unpredictable and poetic universe.
Take, for instance,
the surreal quantum liquid
of superfluid helium.
Now imagine that you put
some of this strange liquid in a beaker.
Well, bear in mind that superfluid helium
is not your ordinary liquid.
This incongruous fluid
is sort of a dry water,
it has no viscosity
and flows with absolutely zero friction.
If you leave it undisturbed in the beaker,
your quantum liquid will perform
an incredible miracle.
For the superfluid helium
will spontaneously glide out
of the container in a thin film
and it will climb over the walls.
It appears to defy completely gravity
and it can pass through even
microscopic holes.
