Proton Decay

A proton once said, "I'll fulfill
My long-term belief in free will.
Though theorists say
That I ought to decay
I'm damned if I think that I will."

The Hubble Constant
God said, "I find no delight
In my constant H's sad plight.
Is it high? Is it low?
They simply don't know.
(And I'm not quite sure which is right.)"

Einstein Podolsky and Rosen
Two photons, close-coupled at start,
Flew several parsecs apart.
Said one, in distress,
"What you're forced to express
Removes any choice on my part."

Neutrino Oscillations
From the Sun's core a neutrino flew
Saying, "I've got the Earth to go through.
Then I'll reach Super-K
But while on the way
I might just turn into a mu."
