(HEART)
There is a curve in mathematics other than that some
those who have never doubted,
called Koch curve. The change
perplexed
have preferred to call it like this: Snowflake.
It behaves this curve always fascinating
multiplying its size by four thirds
inward
coming in so thick, the infinite
without exceeding its tiny area.
Crafts,
very well so far inside you:
inhabiting slow, staying
yet without forcing it, this little heart
tight.
2 (EYE)
There are eyes that will see our memory.
Dr. Barraquer, old ophthalmologist, cruelty
met with the miracle
and realized how fragile the gift of sight:
the death of his father, who started in science,
could keep your eyes and restore the sight of several men.
will I be the glow of that love
beyond the star of the cornea and the well
astute pupil? Exploring the funds
baffled, bewildered
caves inhabited by the swift
images, shapes, colors
not yet have a name
and the dawn of life, Dr. Barraquer
found
corridor stretching from the earth heights,
of darkness broken the holy light.
And at the end of the afternoon when the sun is blind
among the embers of this world, Dr. Barraquer
absorbed recalls the words of the last patient
After removing the bandages from his face.
And the eye of his father, who is the moon,
reopened and whitens every shadow.

(ENERGY)
"With the pure reasoning
we form a sublime image of this world" so he wrote
Max Planck, innocent genius. But is there
reasons without affection, purity
without quirks,
image without shaking?
funny thing is that the physicist in his essay
the first word he utters is
evidence, law or fact :
the first word is enthusiasm.
(When your body named
not warp radiating muscles, blood
unruly and fast nerves
what I say, craft, although
physics
intervene in the way we have to talk in his ear
energy the name is transmitted
touch gaining strength and increases the probable.)
And you, Max Planck, who loved the entropy, what mysterious impulse
pulley
pushed you letters across a Mr. Sommerfeld and exchange
little poems like that
flower that crowns your book about science?
4 (The Tunnel)
What teachers say power: there are sleepers
particles capable of crossing a solid barrier,
force disintegrates like water!
Scientists deny classics.
These incredible preach and baptize
Tunneling.
Unleashing
soul does not want to respect Mr Newton postulated
invading borders. Crafts
in touch transit urgent
supporting this light weight and I will move my astonishment the other side of the barrier
taut skin, thinking
point that shines upon the mouth of the tunnel.

(BOTANY)
Paracelsus had a flower in each hand:
a bitter and concrete
taught him the exact mix that embellished
science textbooks. Improbable
, the other temple
tempted him more distracted by drawing
final pits where the compass is lost.
Its taste, I imagine, was sweet. Botany
secret, like Paracelsus
let me spy roots, stem
your
transparent to boil even a moment, then follow
growing uproar over land, the atmosphere pervading
bittersweet, crazy
each microscope.
(5 unpublished poems of Andrew Neuman)
Comments and notes by Leo Lobos
"Touched by grace. No good reader will perceive in its pages which is only possible to find in high literature, that poets who write true. The literature XXI century will belong to Neuman and a few of his kinsmen " (Roberto Bolaño, Unomásuno, Mexico).
poem editing Note 1: Andrés Neuman was born in Buenos Aires , Argentina in 1977, currently is based in Spain. 1991 moved to Granada, where he earned a degree in Philology. He has taught American literature and worked as a columnist and writer of comics in the daily Ideal de Granada. Since in 1995 is disclosed in the National Competition stories Alfaguara, has garnered a significant amount of awards and literary prizes both in the genre of poetry in the narrative and story. Some of the most important are the XVII Hyperion Poetry Prize for his book The slide, or Spring Prize novel, which was a finalist in 2002 with his novel Life on the windows. His poetry has been included in several anthologies of poetry and English young generation of 99 of José Luis García Martín ; Orfeo logic of Luis Antonio de Villena ; I is another . Autorretratos the new poetry of Jose Maria Rodriguez, or Twenty young English poets of the publisher Hyperion. In addition to his dedication as a writer, you have to highlight its work related to the short story as project coordinator little resistance, a tetralogy on the actual story written in Castilian , which is responsible for the Argentina. The most popular variation of the Koch curve is the "snowflake", which is not more than three curves that initially form an equilateral triangle. Its perimeter is, of course, infinite, but its area tends to 8 / 5 the value of the initial area.
copyright poem Note 2: In my opinion, science and literature have never been opposed. But, in contrast, are remarkably parallel in its objective (knowledge of the world) and complementary methods (the emotion of the rule in scientific thought, the rules of emotions in literary thought.) Anyone who has browsed a manual of modern physics, for example, will have ceased to be amazed by the thickness of metaphors, neologisms containing images and texts. As does the poetry, science and its various branches are taking advantage of surprise to get a sense and bring some order to the daily chaos. The law of gravity, by itself, has the simple and mysterious evidence that lives in pursuit of poetry with his eye: a red apple falls, someone manages to describe his instant flight and restart the story of the eternal human curiosity, excitement to see and do not fully understand what we see.
poem editing Note 3: Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (April 23 of 1858 - October 4 of 1947) was a physical German regarded as the inventor of the quantum theory. Born in Kiel, Planck started his physics studies at the University of Munich in 1874, graduating in 1879 in the city of Berlin . He returned to Munich in 1880 to teach at the university and in 1885 moved to Kiel . He married Marie Merck in 1886 . In 1889, he returned to Berlin, where from 1892 was the director of the department of Theoretical Physics . In 1899, he discovered a fundamental constant, the so-called constant Planck, and is, for example, used to calculate the energy of a photon . That same year he described his own group of units of measurement based on fundamental physical constants. A year later he discovered the law of heat radiation, called Planck's Law , which explains the emission spectrum of a black body . This law became one of the foundations of quantum theory , which emerged ten years later with the collaboration of Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr .
poem editing Note 4: The tunneling is a quantum mechanical effect which is that a particle passes through a potential barrier without power enough to pass over (in the classic sense ), because the probability that the particle is on the other side of the barrier is not zero. Exploiting this effect, we designed the scanning tunneling microscope and scanning atomic force microscope, which achieve the determination of the atomic positions on a surface. On the other hand, tunneling is essential to explain the fact that the stars occurring hydrogen fusion temperatures, in theory, too low.
poem editing Note 5: Paracelsus (Theophrastus von Hohenheim Phillippus Aureolus Bombastus) was born in 1493 in Einsiedeln (Switzerland). His father was a doctor and think he instilled an interest in nature, especially those aspects related to the mineralogy, alchemy and, possibly, folk medicine. The family moved in 1502 to Villach in Carinthia. There might be in contact with the mine who studied The Fugger poseían.Parece in Ferrara where he had to have as teachers and Manardus Leoniceno, critical opponent of astrology. It is not clear who were to reach the degree of doctor, but some of the intermediate grades at that time were granted. However, experts say, was well aware of medical classics, but was unable to accept them uncritically. From very early on was a tireless traveler, visiting a variety of countries, including Scandinavia and the Middle East. It is known that around 1522, was having surgery.
