The Particle Wave Duality Bird
Some people say it is a particle.
Others say it is a wave.
First came the mild summer wave.
Next the harsher autumn wave.
Before it turned into a biting winter wave.
That again turned into a mild spring wave.
Some people say it is a particle,
Others say it is a wave,
And some simply say it is a little bird.
Just as it came with the wind, suddenly it was gone with the wind.
If you look close enough you will see it is particle like, but yes it travels in waves in a ether like medium called Homo sapiens. There exist many old poems about this little bird:
I have a little bird.
Its name is Enza.
I opened the window.
And in-flu-enza.
One of my more spiritual friends far removed from quantitative finance told me there is an ancient poem/story going something like this
Master: Why do you fear this little bird?
Boy: I have heard it can do big harm to people.
Master: Only if you not feed it with the sacred herbs it will turn violent.
Boy: Where do I find such sacred herbs?
Master: Go to the tree of knowledge.
Boy: I think I have found the tree of knowledge it is very big.
Master: Climb up the trunk of the tree.
Boy: I am all the way up and there are fruits of many colors here.
Master: Pick a white fruit from the tree.
Boy: I have picked a white fruit.
Master: Now, crush it.
Boy: I have crushed it.
Master: Now, what do you find?
Boy: I find all these yellow grains, which are very small.
Master: Take up one of these grains and crush it further.
Boy: I have crushed it.
Master: What do you find now?
Boy: Some grains that are very minute, they are even hard to see.
Master: Take up one of these grains and crush it further.
Boy: I have crushed it further.
Master: What do you find now?
Boy: Nothing.
Master: Excellent, feed the little bird with this and the little bird will do you no harm.
