| Dangerous candy: conjectured tomography |
Hey little girl
Hey little boy
Lend me your ears.
And responsible grown-ups too.
This may be the most important news
You and your loved ones ever will hear.
There's a new candy going round
Made in physics labs.
Don't even look at it!
Its color is produced by
Triple-conjugated poly-peptides.
Just looking at this candy
Will pop the retinas of your eyes
Into 3 quantum states at once:
What you'll experience
Thru your triple-entangled retinas
Makes the Schrödinger Cat state
Look like Hello Kitty.
Don't look at this candy
Unless you're prepared to peek
Into hidden dimensions
No human has ever imagined.
Don't look at this candy
Unless you're prepared to see
Into the hearts and minds
Of the people around you
In ways you never dreamt possible.
If you've already looked
Stop right there.
Little girls, little boys,
Responsible grown-ups.
Don't touch this candy!
Its surface is made of layers
Of room-temperature interfering plasmons
That will jack your body directly into
What some scientists call the "Unified Field"
And what others describe as:
"Really weird shit
Outside the realm of science."
Little boys, little girls,
Responsible grown-ups.
Don't touch this candy
Unless you're prepared
To be swept away
Into the deep quantum currents
That make the stars shine
And hold the world together.
Don't touch this candy
Unless you're prepared
To knowingly experience
The warm invisible tentacles
That connect us to all living things
And to every particle of matter.
If you've already touched
Stop right there.
Little girls, little boys,
Responsible grown-ups.
Don't put this candy into your mouth!
This candy was made
By the same folks
Who work and play on a first-name basis
With quarks, gluons and the Higgs boson.
Little boys, little girls,
Responsible grown-ups.
Don't put this candy into your mouth.
Don't taste this candy with your lips and tongue
Don't chew up and swallow
This miracle of modern physics.
Little girls, little boys,
Responsible grown-ups.
Don't take this miracle
Into your body.
