Through a prism looked Newton at light.
The spectrum was a curious sight.
"This light isn't stained,"
Sir Isaac explained,
"for when recombined it comes back white!"

The sky has a beautiful hue,
to scattering of light it's due.
Long wavelengths like red,
through air go unbled,
leaving us seeing the blue!

Explained Heisenberg one day to his son,
"My Principle is not a difficult one.
Measuring x is an ease,
and finding p is a breeze,
but determining both I'm not sure can be done."

Is light a particle or wave?
Corpusular it seems to behave.
But thru a double slit,
Interference does its bit,
demonstrating that photons do quave.

What causes the mountains to lift?
What causes a fissure to rift?
What makes the ground shake
during an earthquake?
The answer is continental drift!

Answer this question if you will,
What colours the green of dill?
In a plant cell,
is a chemical,
that goes by the name chlorophyll!

Alpha centauri is a binary star,
the distance to which is quite far.
Said Einstein, one night,
"To measure, use light."
"Denn it's only 4,3 Jahr!"
