Beautiful bubble
Raleigh's energy balance
In transient bliss

Someone, anyone
Please unlock nature's secrets
I just want to know

Hair begins rising
Electrons ready to use
You as conduit

Entropy snapshots
Adiabatic snowball
Fractally speaking

Obstacle to thought
A physicist could wonder
Will my head be kept?

No linear term
Superconductivity
We just get along

Simultaneous
Entanglement is dissolved
Spooking the critters

Attractive Forces

Stop! IrRESISTable OHM

Talk Nerdy To ME

Big Bang Creation
Evolution then began
Unify all thought

Run fast then slow down
Time will not stop but you may
A force can change things

Motion energy
Information energy
Mass is energy

yin yang balance change
Up down strange beauty truth charm
Universe in flux

Now and then she squints
At the sight of bright sunlight
Photons hit her eyes

Haiku of Einstein
Both Special and General:
Relativity.

The Laws of Physics
In constant velocities
Are Always the same.

Light's velocity
Is the same for observers
In all reference frames.

E equals square root
Of m squared c to the fourth
Plus p squared c squared.

Can anyone tell
The force of gravity from
Acceleration?

Beautiful moonlight
Could it be irradiance?
No, it's reflection

Society gains
When engineers bring to life
A physicist's work

Wild brown brownian
bumping inefficiencies;
nowhere a straight line.


Greek letters among
mathematical marks, here.
Thoughts, glaring sunshine.


Push, bend, balance, pull;
The simple physics whispers
with cattail logic.


Changing fields changing
fields illuminate autumn
color-changing fields.


A three-line poem.
Can simplicity be a
route to cognizance?

Haiku from the University of Louisville:

_Semi-classical Model of the Atom_

Electrons may leap
But we do not share the joy
His model's Bohring

_Light Entertainment_

Rosy shoots of Dawn
Display the beauty that is
Rayleigh Scattering

_Pocket Protectors_

Pocket Protectors
Keep ink in pens not on shirt
Physicists need them

Classic mechanics,
To be so old and still work;
Will you retire?

Massive and  Mortal

Only Light Can Out-Race Time

The Force Be With You

Freshman Lab Data Acquisition:

Student can measure
The radius of a ball
Poorly with yardstick



Vacation in Monaco:

Spin the wheel around
Now stroll around like a drunk
Ah! Monte Carlo



Too Lazy to Cheat on my Homework:

I am too lazy
To search the web for all the
Jackson solutions



Mesoscopic:

Not too small or big
We can safely average
Still continuous



Our Group Claims Him:

Newton, physicist?
No he was more a math guy...
Tastes great! Less filling!



Test Anxiety:

How many more tests
Must I take in my lifetime?
I need a stiff drink...



Mathematicians have really bad jokes:

the integral of
one over cabin will be
log cabin har har



Coat made out of an old thermo book:

Thermodynamics
It may be the only thing
That will keep me warm



Bucket of Bosons:

Cold Helium 4
It is starting to climb out
I need a tight lid!



Press Release: Higgs wins Nobel Prize:

Peter Higgs will watch
The data from LHC
Closer than most folks



Desk Pilot:

Numb feet and back pain
My aching neck and eye strain
My desk consumes me



Paranoid Electron:

I'm not paranoid!
And to be honest I think
Pauli excludes me



Pogo powered transport:

When I get to school
There is no good place to park
Need a pogo stick



External B field:

Zeeman said "Lets split"
I think I can shut him up
turn off the magnet



Two particle system:

Covalent bonding
Two electrons-singlet state
Spin will be zero



Perturbation Theory:

Will the water rise?
you stick your thumb in the pool
now thumb in a shot glass



Nanophysicist:

The Bohr radius
It's such a convenient size
To measure my stuff



Foxworthy Physics:

Might be a redneck
If you think Fine structure means:
A well built Chevy



A thankless job:

Department Chairmen
Will try to make things good, but...
will settle for less



Same Old Degenerates:

Those degenerates...
Sure, they eat up two states but-
Have one energy!

The way to do W
Is to always move against
A potential field.

If you choose to move
Towards increase in U(r)
You do minus W

The core of all life,
Uncertain and contradicts -
Welcome to physics.


From forces within
Nuclear, electrical  
We are connected.

Holy Universe
As we realize its beauty
Entropy increases

Thermodynamics
Ludwig Boltzmann died for it
So did Ehrenfest

Absolute Zero
Fortunately can't be reached
Or we can't survive

Old-school mechanics
Newton starts but Einstein starts
Quantum mechanics.

Absolute zero,
Why are you so far away
Even when we're close?

A spaceship goes by
Special relativity?
c is a constant.

Energy equals:
"Mass times the speed of light squared"
Derived by Einstein.

Accidents happen
When there is unexpected
Acceleration

Classical physics
You apply even today;
With some corrections

Pluto rocked so hard
Music could be heard on earth
The rock must go on

Astronomers say
Fondest regards to Pluto.
I say good riddance.

Feynman's words, not mine:
"What I cannot create, I
Do not understand"

Possibilities:
Are you both alive and dead?
Poor Shrödinger's Cat.

Physics, a science that
asks fundamental questions:
How did we begin?


Strong and weak forces,
electromagnetism,
gravity, unite?

Energy. Darkness.
Imagination staggers.
Matter. Darkness, too.


Quarks have charm, strangeness,
Color, spin, up, down, top, bottom.
Physicists go wild.


Massless meutrino.
Where are they? Has sun shut down?
Neutrino has mass.


Thermodynamics.
Statistical mechanics.
Applied versus math.

Fall, now spring:

Potent EM waves,
saling through the void to earth;
hungry flowers feast.

The void between stars:
Birthed in constant renewal
particles collide

Every point on a
wavefront acts as a source of
secondary waves.

You look in wonder
And pry for understanding
The method? Physics!

Zen Master says this,
"You should be like the B-field,
never doing work."

Sir Isaac Newton
Sat under a tree and found
that learning can hurt

Quantum Mechanics
Only three problems to solve
Why so many tests?

Sir Isaac Newton
Sat under a tree and found

Quantum Mechanics

Phaikuysics

Stand upon shoulders
Explore the uncertainties
Physical knowledge

Frog jumps from the pond;
an electron leaps across
the solar system.

These would-be boyfriends--
all virtual particles
popping in and out!

Now you are gone--and
an electron from my shoe
is on Uranus.

Can The Nucleus
pull electrons home? I want
that piece of heart back.

Ouch--blanket sparkling
as I wrap myself up warm;
electrons again!

Chaos surrounds us
Irreversible in time
Yet the mind is still

Physics is great, though
nothing hurts quite like Stat-Mech.
Bose is the devil.

Tipping Earth brings cold
Absolute Zero: OK
Physics is too cool

Nature calls the one
To learn, to teach, to wonder
Physics path is ours

Radiative heat
Streams forth from the dark abyss--
From whence does it come?

virtual photons

strangely sail forth from charges!

Does this explain it?




Beautiful forests,

leaves, like an apple falling;

Blame the Graviton?

Quantum enigma,
My light shines but not for long.
What path does one take?



Dynamic system,
How does one describe your fate?
Lagrangian will do!



Stars seem frozen still;
Yet seen deep within its core -
Nuclear actions.

Energy equals
The product of h and v.
Or life renewed.

I am attracted
By a proportional force.
The dark hunger lurks

Simply, all are springs
Or so we understand things.
Do you feel shaky?

Beginning and End                      

Entropy more How than Why

Colorful rainbow

Dazzle my senses

We've run this contest before, and it was pretty popular, so we thought we would run it again.  Here's how it works:

We want you to write physics-related haiku.  Multiple entries are allowed and encouraged.  Entries must conform to the following guidelines:

1. All submissions must follow the 5-7-5 form of classic Japanese haiku.
2. All submissions must be related to physics.
3. Haiku entries must be submitted by January 15, 2007.

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value -- Albert Einstein
