P.S. The poem on the creation of the internet, now included in the RFC “standards” seems to me still a bit more potent. But yay, this is the first quantum-mechanical poem since the George Gamow stories!

BTW, don’t you want to continue that story? It would be amazing, you’re a good writer. How the cleck met the maker of large particles (protons, neutrons), he was doubtful of the neutrinos. “He shook the box labeled ‘neutrinos’ and asked: “is there anything?” The old man replied: “I don’t know, but my friends theoretical physicist claim there is.”

Best poem in all my life. “Happy Higgsmas to all, and forget those neutrinos” – classic

I found a little boson, so that boson was his name,
And I called him Higgs Boson and he answered just the same.
I put him in a matchbox, and I kept him all the day…
And Nanny let my boson out
Yes, Nanny let my boson out
She went and let my boson out-
And boson ran away.

She said she didn’t mean it, and I never said she did,
She said she wanted matches, and she just took off the lid
She said that she was sorry, but it’s difficult to catch
An excited sort of boson you’ve mistaken for a match.

She said that she was sorry, and I really mustn’t mind
As there’s lots and lots of bosons which she’s certain we could find
If we looked about the garden for the holes where bosons hid-
And we’d get another matchbox, and write BOSON on the lid.

We went to all the places which a boson might be near,
And we made the sort of noises which a boson likes to hear,
And I saw a kind of something, and I gave a sort of shout:
“A Large Hadron Collider and Higgs Boson coming out!”

It was the Higgs Boson I’m as certain as can be
And he had a sort of look as if he thought it might be ME,
And he had a kind of look as if he thought he ought to say:
“I’m very, very sorry that I tried to run away.”

And Nanny’s very sorry too, for you know what she did,
And she’s writing HIGGS BOSON very blackly on the lid,
So Nan and me are friends, because it’s difficult to catch
An excited Higgs Boson you’ve mistaken for a match.
