Poetic science alliance. Einstein's presently abandoned Unified Field reinstated w'out mathematics. The joining of Field with Quantum Mechanics. The exclusion of politics from science. A scientific paradigm shift in alliance. Scientific panics at quantum mechanics
Democritus foresaw the invisible atom, but since then his discovery is found with substratrum. From antiquity, and ubiquity the continuous wave was the rave, the magnetic transparent field, all proved to be electrostatically real.
Faraday found the cathode ray. Thompson uncovered electrons one day. Rutherford discovered protons a different way.Temporally understood Maxwell's waves beneath the celestial hood. The wave emitting electron could not be subdivided - at first it was whispered, then openly confided.
Yet along came smaller mysterious articles, of Max Planck’s curiously indivisible particles:
Transforming a known world of electrostatics into a schizoid tangle of quantum mechanics. Conceptual doors were opened for the entrance of protons, but no comprehensive vacancy for the residential photons. Other atomic tenants varied in weight height and disguise, but the photon is always the same value and size. A deteriorating atom might change its balance or valence, while the unchanging photon showed no such talents. Vigils are kept to find it changing its station, while its stubborn identity confirms in black body radiation.
At dollar conventions where no change is invited, twenty nickels sit down to an audience excited. The quantum takes for granted inclusion, while greenbacks resent the currency of intrusion. To and from spherical shells the electron darts, while the unchanged quantum arrives before it departs.
If you’re looking for a message in here, it’s of Max Planck’s quanta and Niels Bohr’s sphere. Invincible in principle, Newton’s Mechanics are sure as shooting, while quantum mechanics are robbing and looting. Evolutionary experiments are eclectic, but the final conclusions are photoelectric. As though these convulusions are not enough, reality panned out some other stuff. The only certain universal permanancy, is Einstein’s constant light-speed and Heisenberg’s indeterminacy.
Einstein’s fort was special & general relativity, while his Nobel Prize was for photo-electricity. Uncle Albert having firstly proven to be right - ahead of Brownian motion and the speed of light. This century old issue of size is how Einstein won the Nobel Prize - how the peace loving master-blaster stayed alive in 1905.
Anaxgoras of pre biblical days took big and little to greater heights and stays, he said "There’s always something larger than large, and always something smaller than small." Perhaps the smallest large statement of all. May this admonition of illusion be this brief sonnet’s conclusion. The 20th century path has been rough - to the point of surrendering enough of this stuff.

Addendum/Afterward: (Extracted from Wikipedia <the google encyclopedia>) "... when a light ray is spreading from a point, the energy is not distributed continuously over ever increasing spaces, but consists of a finite number of energy quanta, that are localized in points in space, move without dividing and can be absorbed or generated as a whole". - Albert Einstein
"This statement has been called the most revolutionary sentence ever written by a physicist in the 20th Century. It signals the end of perceived continuuity and endorses the beginning of duality. The wave is no longer exclusively continuous. The particle is no longer exclusively discontinuous. The two seem to join and share each other’s qualities together as one." _________________________________ Though this ballad may be spiritual or mental, any semblance to education is purely coincidental.
