FOR MATHEMATICS

The current Big Bang
Is a real glory!
The Milky-Way is all around us
And was created with our Solar System.

'Everything is a number'
Said Pythagoras
As he was hearing
The Music of the Spheres.

But there were many dark waters
Which covered the head of Hippasus
After he discovered
The Secret of Irrationality.

Maybe Euclid hid the narratives
Of the Protection of the Axioms
Of the Parallels
When he established his own mathematics.

While Newton calculated
The end of the world,
Leibnitz – with the monads – believed
A unitary language must exist.

Goethe could see in the word
The generic type,
But did not like or know
True mathematics.

Hilbert remained
Deeply misunderstood
With his list of 23 problems
and organic unity.

A. Connes with his theory
Of non-communicative geometry
Of 100 to Hilbert, ended up
With a new understanding.

M. Athiya, in his index
And K theory
Discussed it all
As some enigma.

The vision of J. Stuart
Shared the flexibility
Of the nature of numbers
In his epilogue.

Wittgenstein says
We should be aliens
To see properly
In the bottle of Klein.

From the top of the mountain
Of the Rieman hypothesis
We can see another mountain, an analogue,
And hear its Sixth Symphony.

Einstein performed the actual
First step of a child
When he asked how we
Measure a length.

Only when we see the world
Like children again
Will we count once more
From the beginning: 1. 2. 3.
