A delightfully light-hearted #Sciku by @haikuhawk.bsky.social this week. Clever wordplay on top of dense quantum physics and not a dead/alive cat in sight!

I can't work out whether the idea behind this excellent #Sciku by @haikuhawk.bsky.social is bleak or weirdly positive. Perhaps it's both? Either way, it's a great poem!

When I was on T****er I used to live-tweet conferences in haiku format, and I loved it. So I thought I'd start #sciencehaiku 'ing our weekly seminars.
