Particle or Wave


An Einstein question.
When I walk towards a big wet puddle
in the road and a lorry heads on
towards me with a smiling driver

do I walk forward to risk a soaking
if he swerves in a chortling whoosh
or hold back in fear and in anguish,
afraid of a smile and a wave?

  1. So thoroughly descriptive, John! (I'd run, though, lol)

  3. it depends how warm it is and how clear the water looks and if it matters if you're soaked or not.. lots to think about in that split second.. he could be giving you a welcomes shower. or a sticky mud bath when you're about to go to an interview.
