SF Haiku

Geoffrey A. Landis

 

Tachyons

 

Tachyons race

backwards and forward in time--

maybe sideways, too.

 

                        Tachyon message

                        I send to my younger self:

                        kid, don't be so dumb.

 

A message from my future self!

I'll ignore it.

Old guys are boring.

Ghosts

 

Cosmic neutrinos

the ghosts of supernovae:

memories of stars.

 

Cosmic neutrinos

pass through the Earth, and through us:

to them, we're the ghosts.

Singularity:

the point where physics breaks down--

and physicists, too.
