What if you didn’t ride time like a train on tracks? What if you hopped about like a drop of water on a hot skillet?

Today’s reading is Haniza’s Slipstream by Aaric Tan Xiang Yeow.

Aaric Tan Xiang Yeow’s poems have appeared in Hawai’i Review, From Walden to Woodlands, The Missing Slate and elsewhere. He co-edited Red Pulse II, an anthology centred on a sunny island set in the sea. He has received a top award from the National Poetry Festival as well as a Golden Point Award from the National Arts Council. His undergraduate research on organometallic radicals culminated in a published article on a peer-reviewed journal. He has been busy.

The quantum theme in Haniza’s Slipstream is time.

Are you ready for the skillet?

Today’s reading is The Relative Uncertainty of Reality by Daniel Swindlehurst.

Daniel Swindlehurst used to have a proper, sensible job, but threw it all away to realise his childhood dream of being a scientist. He loves science fact and science fiction, and occasionally writes both.

The quantum concepts in The Relative Uncertainty of Reality are computing, reality, time and the uncertainty principle.

What if our reality is a simulated playground for people who want a harmless diversion, and most of us aren’t real?
