Oppenheimer's Theory and History
by Michael Doyle

Behind the quantum world
There is still the real world.
Yet, no one asks why
Or when will we see the big reveal?

Physics in Yiddish held the hour,
And in that time loosened the power
That has horrified us since those days.
Still, it continues in how it sways.

From the things dreamed about
There would be no going back.
Without a shadow of any doubt,
There's nothing more than fade to black.

Light is both a wave and particle.
This is the truth found by how it works right.
Going against our sense, we find this paradoxical.
The math on the chalkboard brings this to light

We find that stars are powerful furnaces.
They fight to death against their own gravity.
Still, these twinkle and sparkle
As a matter of human amusement and levity.

It's a limit of its own
Measured in terms of its intensity.
A power burns out in its strength
That is only perceived as luminosity.

From early on, this prophet
Of physics and its evolution
Was only a mad believer 
In the path of a communist revolution.

This you may vividly recall
Is the outcome of his soul's weak seed.
It led to Oppenheimer's downfall,
At least the complexity of his life reads.

When, not if, a star dies,
Like ideas that come to their tragic end,
The bigger the star, the bigger the demise,
In the rhetoric of power come to its end.

In a world constantly bereft,
So many struggle and conclude property,
And its ownership is theft.
Some have reached this again in our history.
