The Poetry of Physics

Another charming post from Kim Rendfield's dad, this time on the poetry of Brownian motion - and Lucretius of Epicurus - and non-Epicurian morality in history ...

Anyway - a nice read.  Brownian motion is so cool (and *not* just because of Douglas Adams!).  Maybe we all like watching dust dance in golden light ... as long as we can keep ourselves from thinking about the particulates we're not seeing, going up our noses!
