Yet Another Game Thread (YAGT).
This time, express a scientific principle in haiku form. I know it's been done before, perhaps zillions of times. Originals only, please (don't even posts links to online collections, thanks), as I want to see what we can come up with. And don't hesitate to post on a subject that's already been covered, if your haiku is more eloquent or humorous than those which have come before it.
An example:
Evolution: yes!
Alleles and population,
changing ratios.

Evidently, I rock!
Why not question something for a change?

OK, I'll give it a go...
If you can't test it
then it isn't a theory,
but only a dream.
In a closed system,
all things head toward entropy.
Gods get there sooner.
Hmmm. Scientific principle and personal opinion squeezed into one tiny haiku.

ok, these are my entries:
We were once monkies
So the creationists say
The truth is larger
Time is not constant
Ah, but the speed of light is
Chew on that awhile

Came up with a bunch in a few minutes. Haiku's are fun! Hope you like'em:
Threads not in needle
Yet can weave a large fabric
I hate String Theory
Slurpy, drippy, Yum
Full of passion and fertile
Primordial Soup
Love and attraction
Dancing, bodies drawing near
Act of gravity
About to explode
Can't hold it in anymore
Life of combustion
Angry Heisenburg
Confused and too erratic
Quantum Mechanics
Speedy diet plan
Run faster and gain more mass
E=mc^2

Water beads on glass

It's condensation.

Not science...
Thick skin, brutal spin
Republican media
Misinformation

Hydrogen head-on
Helium and energy
