Physics Haikus
Recently The Nucleus, a member of the ComPADRE network, sponsored a Physics Haiku contest. With a multitude of physics students submitting 117 haikus, some very entertaining and well-phrased poems emerged! After input and deliberation from admins, section advisors and other physics folk, winners have been selected in five categories:
- Thought-Provoking
- Concise Physics
- Humorous
- Historical
- Honorable Mention
All winners received an Einstein cube, rainbow glasses and an uber-pen - these prizes are extremely snazzy and will inspire envy in all who behold them!

cannot afford to buy it
too big to xerox
