Nice to know all that history resides in a single grain of the stuff...which would be poisonus if it's consituent elements weren't bonded.

Remarkably like some human minds... ever wonder what force holds THOSE together?

electrostatic forces
ion-dipole forces
van der wals forces
london disersion forces
hydrogen bonds

did you know, that shen you sit on a chair, or lie down on a bed, that you are theoreticaly floating?

you are NOT attached to the surface, otherwise a 'bond' would be created.

if you zoomed in enough, then you would notice a repeling action, and a distance between the atoms that make up your pants, and those that make up the chair.

just a thought.

Oh, boy, One. If you only knew. I'll be interested to see how Indigo responds. (Be kind, Indigo.)

Thanks One, for pointing that out. I think I may have heard that once somewhere...around the same time I learned about cats in closed spaces

Clever way to deliver the package, Indigo. Now, let's see if he has to open the box.

Some ppl don't mind ambiguity, Hayward... anyway, I'm not feeling very "cat like" today.

C'mon One, its OK. You can come back, I don't bite... I liked your response! I've lived with and around physicists half my life... could say that I love them, even.
