Then Alice saw an ancient <br />violin and asked Merlin to <br />play it – I only play gamma- <br />ray tunes, Merlin said, it is <br />a quantum violin and doesn’t <br />play anything else – I once <br />had a quantum-cello, for <br />optical tunes, but it is lost; <br />then Merlin played “Nucléet <br />in C Sharp”, a very sad <br />gamma-ray tune - Alice <br />thought the music very <br />strange indeed, with ocean <br />waves breaking on sandy <br />shores, interwoven with <br />high-pitched tunes like <br />the whistling of an arrow <br />swishing by – it had a <br />strange, powerful effect <br />on her– she closed her <br />eyes and drifted <br />off to sleep…. <br /> <br />Based on “Mr Tompkins in Paperback”, George Gamow<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/science-mr-tompkins-gamma-ray-tunes/
