Science is the poetry of reality - Dawkins

How I'm rushing through this! How much each sentence in this
brief story contains. "The stars are made of the same atoms
as the earth." I usually pick one small topic like this to
give a lecture on. Poets say science takes away from the
beauty of the stars - mere globs of atoms. Nothing is "mere".
I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them.
But do I see less or more? The vastness of the heavens stretches
my imagination - stuck on this carousel my little eye can catch
one-million-year-old light. A vast pattern - of which I am a
part - perhaps my stuff was belched from some forgotten star,
as one is belching there. Or see them with the greater eye of
Palomar, rushing all apart from some common starting point
when they were perhaps all together. What is the pattern, or
the meaning, or the why? It does not do harm to the mystery
to know a little about it. For far more marvelous is the truth
than any artists of the past imagined! Why do the poets of the
present not speak of it? What men are poets who can speak of
Jupiter if he were like a man, but if he is an immense
spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent?
-- Richard P. Feynman, a footnote in "Six Easy Pieces"

Words of poet-naturalist René-Richard Castel: “A poet must not aim to teach and advance a science as much as to show its advantages and make it loved.”

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on April 8, 2010 at 4:22am: Sorry to hear about your Mom. My friends told me the dryer would be available in Bombay.
I haven't bought it yet. I will have to visit Mumbai to buy it. Paz wants to export some of the driers to India. The cost will be too high for people to buy as they will have to pay huge customs duty. I don't think it is a good idea.
Anyway let us try for it in Bombay first.
Best wishes
Krishna

To be born a man is a blessing,
To be born an artist is sublime;
To be born a poet TOO,
Is going beyond DIVINE.

What skin doth be,that not did glow;
Being dark as ebony or white as snow?
