An epic haiku


This is an epic haiku composed by Kevin Brake as a lead up to the Mystery Error Bar run by PAIN, the University of Queensland Physics Student Society.

The Mystery Error Bar

What is Error Bar?
A mysterious journey
Through quantum tunnels

It's a voyage through
The looking glass and wardrobe
Into new landscapes

Of the mind and soul
Expanding the horizons
Of experience

A world of wierdness
Where quantum meets classical
And superstrings too

Relativity
Shrinks rulers and bends spacetime
Just because you move

The mind makes the world
But the world makes the mind too
Endless recursion

Go into this world
You will not leave it the same
You can not go back

Compose your thoughts in
Just seventeen syllables
To be understood

An infiltrator
With lots of fancy gadgets
Seeks to find answers

Morpheus brings dreams
Into our reality
And puts you in dreams

So take the red pill
Jump into the rabbit hole
Enter the real world

So bring a gold coin
Or thirty pieces of silver
And learn the answers

And now a challenge
Like the ones Dan used to give
Solve it if you can

How many ways can
You have thirty silver coins
And have two dollars?
