Irving J. Bigio

Hard Times at Physics High

Some fear physics these days is contractive;
Yet complexity keeps the field active.
Feigenbaum is chaotic,
Mandelbrot 'most erotic,
and I find them strangely attractive.

Lament of a Humble Optical Physicist -Version I

Delta and Sigma, Omega and Psi
Particle physics still can't find the key.
"Parts is parts" they proclaim;
Find just one: find your fame.
Yet somehow it's all Greek to me!

Lament of a Humble Optical Physicist -Version II

Delta and Sigma, Omega and Psi
Particle physics still can't find the key.
The 'J' notwithstanding,
I lack understanding,
'Cause somehow it's all Greek to me!
