It's weird to think that you never really touch anyone, or anything because the electrons around the atoms of your body repel against the electrons of everything else. amirite?

I think its crazy how living things and non living things are made up of the exact same things. It makes me wonder what the difference is between atoms in people and atoms in a rock or something are.

Atoms in biotic things form cells, which are considered life because they meet qualifications, while abiotic things are just made up of molecules that don't form cells.

Have fun, seeing as it's impossible to tell the location of an electron. But walking through walls would be amazing so count me in.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Hahahaha I know it's impossible... that was the one piece of information that pissed me off the most in chem last year. I don't like being told that something is impossible; I'm wicked stubborn so my natural reaction would be to try and find a loophole or something. Then I just end up confusing the fuck out of myself.... xD

See that made me mad too, so I'm just taking it out on electrons in general, especially since we've gotten into bonding. Sometimes the electrons do this, sometimes they do that. Dang it electrons, why can't you make up your mind? (figuratively of course)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That's soo true. And what's with those fucking s/p/d/f shells and transferring and shit?! Like seriously, I passed that class but I still don't understand that AT ALL. Electrons suck -.-

by Anonymous 13 years ago

And then my teacher is telling us about how there's so much stuff at the atomic level that physicists haven't figured out yet. If they can't get it right at the small level, then that'll screw everything up at the bigger levels (like compounds, molecules, etc). So my proposition is, "Until atomic physicists can get their shit together, we shouldn't have to learn any chemistry."

by Anonymous 13 years ago

GAH EXACTLY. like, what's the point if, say, they discover something that completely changes everything we learned? This may not be meant go with the situation but it still sort of makes sense: don't count your damn chickens before they hatch! -_____________-

Einstein's theory of evolution has recently been proven false. (No joke, my mom's friend's son is a high-up, super smart scientist and his colleagues proved it wrong. )

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If by Einstein you mean Darwin youre still probably wrong

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You're right. European scientists found that neutrinos can travel faster than light, and that ruins the theory of special relativity.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually, my mom is involved in the experiments that said they proved the theory of relativity wrong. She says that they didn't have legamite evidence, and it's probably just all wrong.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not having legitimate evidence doesn't make it wrong. It's a theory. Was there evidence against the theory?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

From what I understood, it was really sketchy evidence that ended up undermining everything we have already proved in science. So I guess the evidence against the theory would be that the data they drew these conclusions from is wrong. If the data's wrong, then there's no proof that this is true, and it's pretty doubtful that shoddy conclusions can undermine everything we know.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Ok. I get what you mean now. I don't want to have everything I know changed. It makes my head hurt.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Alright so here's the deal. Scientists at a particle accelerator in Switzerland shot neutrinos and photons (light) to a detector in Italy, and the neutrinos won, and that's what proves Einstein's theory wrong. But the results are sketchy because the particles ended up going through a mountain, and because the locations were so far away from each other, the straight line between the locations that the particles took was through the Earth itself. I'd just like to also point out that this completely backs up my theory dealing with physicists really not knowing squat about particles and stuff, and therefore my theory should be accepted by the education board and be put into place RIGHT NOW so I don't have to take chemistry anymore.

just because atoms repel, doesnt mean we dont force them to meet others, and since we feel it in our nerves, its kind of the definition of touch

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No, technically you don't ever touch anything. The nerves are being affected are being affected because of the repelling force.

"Touch" refers to one of our senses. This one being a response to the reaction between our nerves and whatever other object we come into "contact" with. Think about it, words such as "touch" and "contact," etc. aren't really defined as zero distance between a finger and a key. The "no distance between two objects" definition of touch is just something we came up with from observing. So yeah, we actually are touching (actual definition) things, but at the same time we're not touching (observed definition) things. There we go, I fixed my world :D.

Arguably, the electrons are parts of the atoms which are parts of our bodies.
