Quantum Math Relies on the Premise that Information Is Never Lost

Count me in the minority
Convinced information gets lost.
I don’t dream it would reappear
Like cosmic magic, “if you fed

The entire radiation cloud
Into a quantum computer
And ran fancy algorithms.”
Math has never prevented death

And I don’t trust its advocates,
The children of Pythagoras,
Who claim that loss cannot persist
Since death, in math, does not exist.
