Quantum Reality

Quite bewildering, but nature just has to be
Quantized inherently, lest there be UV catastrophe
States of multiple reality, a consequence of uncertainty
Principle of complementarity, illustrating the duality
A testimony, we have, for this world of potentiality,
In the alive and dead Schrodinger's cat, a singularity!

This acrostic is a result of the inspiration that I found after reading George Gamow's "Great Scientists from Galileo to Einstein" and Heisenberg's "Physics and Philosophy."

Lightning

Rushing charges, from one cloud to another
A bolt of lightning, followed by roaring thunder
Ionizing nitrogen, which pours with rain, together
Nourishing plants, helping the cycle of life prosper.
