Missing Equation

A poem of mathematical genius and the biggest unsolvable problem.

"Missing Equation" 

Theory of relativity, for Einstein we thank,

Or the Pythagorean Theorem, from Babylonian think tanks.

Bournoulli and D’Alembert, their great wave equation,

Then Fourier’s transform, removing complex pattern abrasions.

Maxwell’s equation, was quite electromagnetic,

 Like Hardy-Weinburg’s formula, for the variation of genetics.

 

Hubble’s great law for galactically measured distance,

While Mendeleev’s periodic table, is another great instance.

Euler’s relation, science most beautiful equation,

Boltzmann’s Entropy Formulas for statistical foundations,

There’s Nowak’s Evolvability, life from selection and mutations.

 

R-nought to figure the outbreak of contagions,

Ohm’s Law gives resistance in electrical equations.

All of this genius history has so far reached,

When will some genius formulate one for World Peace?

-BB

Author's Note

A tribute to mathematical and scientific genius, and hope for World Peace combined.

Sounds a bit like shel silverstien. Simple, but if you were going for that then that's fine. You state the theme and it is a lot of build up- perhaps too much? Some wording is a bit awk. It doesnt need to always rhyme. i like the idea behind it, but it seems a little repetitive. revise and its a great poem

[Don't just B, but B amazing!]

Thanks for the comments, as far as Shel Silverstien I wasn't sure, after research I actually bought several of his books from my son. way back when my son was still a child. Thanks for your review.

Wow! This poem makes a realization that the peace is still the great formula for the love in this world. At first, you highlighted the contributions of the mathematicians then the last line surprised me. Yes, it is. Maybe genius cannot do that, but us. Keep writing!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

what a valid question you ask at the end of this. We need someone to come up with that invention, or theory or equation which will produce some love in the world.

really like this piece.

Thank you Jacob.

I just love the use of mathematics. Being a math buff, myself, I found very enjoyable. I like you incorporated deeper meaning at the end. Keep up the good work; I am looking forward to your next work.

[Don't just B, but B amazing!]

Thank you so much.

You have the gift of selecting words that enhance the deep emotions you are evoking. It is so easy to lapse into platitudes and cheesy language, but this poem is the opposite... strong, compelling and brilliant phrasing.

[Don't just B, but B amazing!]

Thank you so much my friend.

[Lizardo]

Wow this one is my favorite, I love how you mention every single work with it's creator
and love the rhyme too
Awesome piece of work,Keep on writing!

[Don't just B, but B amazing!]

Thank you so much Lizardo.

Yes, I have to agree. There's a whole lot of genius being poured into winning the wars.
World peace... It would require whole lot of undoing. Rewinding. But how far back?

[Don't just B, but B amazing!]

Thank you Ana, and maybe not even rewinding but an acceptance of enough is enough. The scientist who study for progress and advances, bravo. The ones who become obsessed only because they want the recognition of being the next BIG famous scientist, and they do not care who these experiments hurt or what they will do for the future those are the ones that suck. And it sickens me how organizations like the CIA, Military, and so on have no problem using humans as lab rats, without them even knowing it. Not just here worldwide. It's all nuts. Thanks for your comments very true.

Mindboggling to mind blowing. Excellent poem.

[Don't just B, but B amazing!]

Thank you Terrence my friend.

Your welcome

A great tribute - kept looking for Nash - writing down notes for my son and then bam, you hit me great ending. But maybe we can look at our leaders, packed full of business majors, others alike, ready to debate, but where are the scientists in our leaders, in America? Money seems to rule and the only way, I see they are elected is by people that have an interest. Where are the social scientist, environments; people that can give another perspective. I pray....What a great writing. Thank you. Dale

[Don't just B, but B amazing!]

Thank you so much.

[Confuser]

Y/W....Keep writing.

[CA Anurag Sharma]

good one... the last line is a gem.....completely agree with ANTO about the theorems you had to try to find out :)
But good message in this one too.....

[Don't just B, but B amazing!]

Thank you Anurag.
