Incomprehensible!

\nTwo particles entangled are as intimate as one
\nReveal the first, the second does the same
\nBut while they hide the physics tends to have a little fun
\nIt plays us in a sort of quantum game<\/p>\n
When unobserved a particle is neither there nor not
\nSuperposition means both yes and no
\nUntil you look you cannot know exactly what you’ve got
\nAnd once you’ve looked the whole thing goes on show<\/p>\n
A quantum calculator knows the answer to all sums
\nYou simply have to sort the numbers out
\nWould Quantum rock musicians play the keyboard and the drums
\nAnd strum guitar while singing in a shout?<\/p>\n
When Schr\u00f6dinger conceived his cat some people thought him mad
\nBut now it seems the World is built this way
\nIt makes you long for certainties that scientists once had
\nTill Heisenberg uncertainly held sway<\/p>\n
Black holes the size of atoms and a plasma dancing jigs
\nNeutrinos do the things we think they don’t
\nThere’s Hawking radiation and there may just be the Higgs
\nAt CERN we’ll find the answers, or we won’t<\/p>\n
Are superstrings dimensionless are well all holograms
\nDark energy or just a cosmic trick
\nI sit and read the science press and all you’ll hear are DAMNs
\nThe speed of change now really makes me sick!!!!<\/p>\n

\nSometimes you look for answers only to discover you don’t even understand the
