The Quantum View

Physicists have created a fluid with "negative mass", which accelerates towards you when pushed.

A Philosophical Maiden's Lament

How can I eat my bread and beef
When I believe sincerely
That when I eat and what I eat
Are vain ideas merely?
I dare not sit on any chair,
Imagine my confusion,
If I should rest my weight upon
A sensory illusion!
If, on the contrary, I take
Another man's credential,
How can I bring myself to sit
Upon a mind potential?
Yet why rail at necessity?
Thy monad will not pout.
For all the world except myself
Is just one great big doubt.
F.W.C., Bryn Mawr University Class of 1902
