It was a fun learning experience to explore music and write. I chose to allude to Vivaldi’s violin concerto “Four Seasons” which synchronizes with haiku aesthetics.

Gravity of Thought
quantum physics
trying to wrap my head
around dark matter

What is Dark Matter?
Unsolved problem in physics: Dark matter is a form of matter that doesn’t emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible. Its presence is inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as galaxies and stars.
Proportion: It accounts for approximately 27% of the universe’s mass-energy content, compared to just 5% for normal (baryonic) matter.
