Imaginary virtuals

Imaginary numbers and virtual particles

You’ve only got yourselves to blame for the mess

Didn’t mean to widen the knowledge gap

Between those in the know, and the rest

 

We’re not convinced about your imaginaries

Show them where they sit with integers, so fine

You just complain, about the complex plane

Cos you were told all the numbers, must stay in line

 

i’s just the number, which when squared, equals minus one

It’s just a tool, to be used at school, therefore it exists

Like an axe or spade, with a changed handle and blade

It gets the job done, come on, work on, chop chop, persist!

 

And virtual particles, bloody hell, the name gives them away

I bet the guy who invented them, didn’t receive virtual pay

See, I’m playing the Devil’s sarky advocate, again

Fighting myself, despite there being no threat

 

Cos, unless there’s something out there, that does really care

AI will be the only observers collapsing waves, on the seas of despair

Seasick but immune from denial of death, hold your breath, if you dare

Cos AI gods or ‘our’ God, won’t bail us out, he don’t care

Won’t help us there, or anywhere…As far as I’m aware
