A poem about the synergies between our universe and our blockchain <3
This post is taking part in the t2 x Bonsai x Stack writing challenge
It doesn't quite meet the 500-word requirement, but it's a poem, so I thought we could be a lil lenient
-
Green Ciphers
-
Seventy-two kilometers per second per megaparsec—
Space stretches, expands, cosmic fabric unfurling,
perpetually pushing, parting
pulsing emerald equations;
etching eternal expansion.
-
We drift, insignificant motes in an infinite jade sea.
Hubble's constant quantifies the growth of our reality.
Past glowing nebulae, malachite nurseries of stars
where nuclear fusion forges elements
in precise ratios.
-
Supernovae burst in silent green fireworks
Their light curves plotted on luminosity graphs
Scattering elements across light-years of nothing
populating space with prime numbers and partials
-
A black hole—
a dark forest event horizon
Schwarzschild radius defines the point of no return.
Light bends, time dilates, physics breaks
the laws we know, written in green ciphers on whiteboards.
A divide-by-zero in spacetime
-
Galactic strings form a cosmic web of jade,
dark matter
Clusters of galaxies dance in a gravitational ballet,
our millennia’s pirouette governed by laws of motion
-
We float through the Milky Way's spiral arms
Density waves propagate, fluid dynamics past red giants
and white dwarfs, their life cycles near complete.
Chandrasekhar determined their fates
-
Our solar system, a home of eight planets tracing elliptical orbits
like celestial clockwork.
Lagrange points mark equilibria.
Our turquoise marble, its path a three-body solution,
homeomorphic to rainforests and vast grasslands.
Fractal dimensions measure the complexity of our landscapes
-
Isle emerges,
rolling hills form topographic waves,
clover carpets in infinite shades of green
-
Zoom in— a single shamrock—
its structure a fractal, fibonacci spirals in its veins—
golden ratio.
Their patterns optimize for sunlight
graphing quaternions on green plains
-
Cosmic constraints blur to circuits of thought,
Proofs etched in silicon, a new reality is unfolding into
verdant logic gates.
We bloom in digital gardens,
quantum truths our encrypted playgrounds
-
Blockchain—
Cryptographic seal of integrity through merkle trees
and unique digital fingerprints,
contracts self-executing in our own algorithmic ecosystem
-
Automata theory governs ethereal
rivers with 1s and 0s;
entropy and trustlessness
mirror the fundamentals of our universe.
We are significant
-
Secrets whisper in their Grumpkin curves
cloaking truths in mathematical robes.
Plaintext dances through substitution of bits
shifting in rounds of diffusion to fit in a point.
Knowledge and ignorance coexist;
Data doesn’t die.
-
Green leaves validate the wind's direction,
independently rustling their votes to consensus.
No oak dictates.
Aztec sun stones tick to time's endless wheel, carving truth
from moments
-
Through the double-slit Lens of chance,
we study the superposition of digital states,
transaction paths uncertain
until mined,
observed.
Energy is neither created nor destroyed,
immutable records, forever preserved
-
To be the coders and the coded
The encryptors and encrypted
The creators;
The writers of our own universe’s script.
We are mining our own block in spacetime;
Architecting our own expansion
A digital revolution that remembers reality.
We stand at a crossroads as we confluence
carbon and code;
green ciphers and terminal windows.
Our legacy will not be written in the stars
but we are forever
