Lingering, bottled-up anger never reveals the 'true colors' of an individual. It, on the contrary, becomes all mixed up, rotten, confused, forms a highly combustible, chemical compound then explodes as something foreign, something very different than one's natural self.
Criss Jami (Healology)
If the elements are the alphabets of chemistry, then the compounds are its plays, its poems, and its novels.
Peter Atkins
...better not to do than to do, better to meditate than to act, better his astrophysics, the threshold of the Unknowable, than my chemistry, a mess compounded of stenches, explosions and small futile mysteries. I thought of another moral, more down to earth and concrete, and I believe that every militant chemist can confirm it: that one must distrust the almost-the-same (sodium is almost the same as potassium, but with sodium nothing would have happened_, the practically identical, the approximate, the or-even, all surrogates, and all patchwork. the difference can be small, but they can lead to radically different consequences, like a railroad's switch points; the chemist's trade consists in good part in being aware of these differences, knowing them close up, and foreseeing their effects. And not only the chemist's trade.
Primo Levi (The Periodic Table)
Briefly, in the act of composition, as an instrument there intervenes and is most potent, fire, flaming, fervid, hot; but in the very substance of the compound there intervenes, as an ingredient, as it is commonly called, as a material principle and as a constituent of the whole compound the material and principle of fire, not fire itself. This I was the first to call phlogiston.
Georg Ernst Stahl
It cannot, of course, be stated with absolute certainty that no elements can combine with argon; but it appears at least improbable that any compounds will be formed. [This held true for a century, until in Aug 2000, the first argon compound was formed, argon fluorohydride, HArF, but stable only below 40 K (−233 °C).]
William M. Ramsay (The Gases Of The Atmosphere: The History of Their Discovery)
In deriving a body from the water type I intend to express that to this body, considered as an oxide, there corresponds a chloride, a bromide, a sulphide, a nitride, etc., susceptible of double compositions, or resulting from double decompositions, analogous to those presented by hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuretted hydrogen, ammonia etc., or which give rise to the same compounds. The type is thus the unit of comparison for all the bodies which, like it, are susceptible of similar changes or result from similar changes.

Bada bada boom,” she rejoined, swinging her handbag directly into his crotch, the impact of which was compounded by a heavy stone mortar she’d picked up earlier that day from Chemical Supply. The man gasped, then doubled over in pain. The doors slid open.
Bonnie Garmus (Lessons in Chemistry)
Few scientists acquainted with the chemistry of biological systems at the molecular level can avoid being inspired. Evolution has produced chemical compounds exquisitely organized to accomplish the most complicated and delicate of tasks. Many organic chemists viewing crystal structures of enzyme systems or nucleic acids and knowing the marvels of specificity of the immune systems must dream of designing and synthesizing simpler organic compounds that imitate working features of these naturally occurring compounds.
Donald J. Cram
Chemistry is, well technically, chemistry is the study of matter, but I prefer to see it as the study of change. Now, just think about this. Electrons, they change their energy levels. Molecules change their bonds. Elements, they combine and change into compounds. Well that's. . . That's all of life, right? It's the constant, it's the cycle. . . It's solution, dissolution, just over and over and over. It's growth, then decay, then transformation!
Vince Gilligan
Not one of them [formulae] can be shown to have any existence, so that the formula of one of the simplest of organic bodies is confused by the introduction of unexplained symbols for imaginary differences in the mode of combination of its elements... It would be just as reasonable to describe an oak tree as composed of blocks and chips and shavings to which it may be reduced by the hatchet, as by Dr Kolbe's formula to describe acetic acid as containing the products which may be obtained from it by destructive influences. A Kolbe botanist would say that half the chips are united with some of the blocks by the force parenthesis; the other half joined to this group in a different way, described by a buckle; shavings stuck on to these in a third manner, comma; and finally, a compound of shavings and blocks united together by a fourth force, juxtaposition, is joined to the main body by a fifth force, full stop.
Alexander William Williamson
It was the colors that had initially attracted her, the vibrant blue of the Bunsen flame and the dusty red of copper and the deep violet of permanganate. It was the logic of balanced equations, the certainty that when element A mixed with element B, compound C would appear. It was like predicting the future; it was like magic. Most of all, it was being: of having to be so careful with the hydrochloric acid, of accidentally burning herself while lighting a match, of discovering.
Amy Zhang (Falling into Place)
[The] structural theory is of extreme simplicity. It assumes that the molecule is held together by links between one atom and the next: that every kind of atom can form a definite small number of such links: that these can be single, double or triple: that the groups may take up any position possible by rotation round the line of a single but not round that of a double link: finally that with all the elements of the first short period [of the periodic table], and with many others as well, the angles between the valencies are approximately those formed by joining the centre of a regular tetrahedron to its angular points. No assumption whatever is made as to the mechanism of the linkage. Through the whole development of organic chemistry this theory has always proved capable of providing a different structure for every different compound that can be isolated. Among the hundreds of thousands of known substances, there are never more isomeric forms than the theory permits.
Nevil Vincent Sidgwick
Stanley Miller and Harold Urey, was to simulate the conditions on Earth in primordial times, three or four billion years ago, when life appeared for the first time. The experiments were intended to see if they could make something come alive using nothing but nonliving chemicals. Do you know what emerged? Not life, but something fascinating all the same. The chemicals gave rise to significant chemical compounds: a handful of amino acids, essential components in the chemistry of life. Amino acids are molecules that hook together to form the proteins that run almost every aspect of biology.
Bill Nye (Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation)
The problem of the origin of life is, at bottom, a problem in organic chemistry—the chemistry of carbon compounds—but organic chemistry within an unusual framework. Living things, as we shall see, are specified in detail at the level of atoms and molecules, with incredible delicacy and precision. At the beginning it must have been molecules that evolved to form the first living system. Because life started on earth such a long time ago—perhaps as much as four billion years ago—it is very difficult for us to discover what the first living things were like. All living things on earth, without exception, are based on organic chemistry, and such chemicals are usually not stable over very long periods of time at the range of temperatures which exist on the earth's surface. The constant buffeting of thermal motion over hundreds of millions of years eventually disrupts the strong chemical bonds which hold the atoms of an organic molecule firmly together over shorter periods; over our own lifetime, for example. For this reason it is almost impossible to find "molecular fossils" from these very early times.
Francis Crick (Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature)
In one department of his [Joseph Black's] lecture he exceeded any I have ever known, the neatness and unvarying success with which all the manipulations of his experiments were performed. His correct eye and steady hand contributed to the one; his admirable precautions, foreseeing and providing for every emergency, secured the other. I have seen him pour boiling water or boiling acid from a vessel that had no spout into a tube, holding it at such a distance as made the stream's diameter small, and so vertical that not a drop was spilt. While he poured he would mention this adaptation of the height to the diameter as a necessary condition of success. I have seen him mix two substances in a receiver into which a gas, as chlorine, had been introduced, the effect of the combustion being perhaps to produce a compound inflammable in its nascent state, and the mixture being effected by drawing some string or wire working through the receiver's sides in an air-tight socket. The long table on which the different processes had been carried on was as clean at the end of the lecture as it had been before the apparatus was planted upon it. Not a drop of liquid, not a grain of dust remained.
Henry Peter Brougham (Lives of men of letters and science who flourished in the time of George III. Volume 2 of 2)
Ocean Acidification is sometimes referred to as Global Warming's Equally Evil Twin. The irony is intentional and fair enough as far as it goes... No single mechanism explains all the mass extinctions in the record and yet changes in ocean chemistry seem to be a pretty good predictor. Ocean Acidification played a role in at least 2 of the Big Five Extinctions: the End-Permian and the End-Triassic. And quite possibly it was a major factor in a third, the End-Cretaceous. ...Why is ocean acidification so dangerous? The question is tough to answer only because the list of reasons is so long. Depending on how tightly organisms are able to regulate their internal chemistry, acidification may affect such basic processes as metabolism, enzyme activity, and protein function. Because it will change the makeup of microbial communities, it will alter the availability of key nutrients, like iron and nitrogen. For similar reasons, it will change the amount of light that passes through the water, and for somewhat different reasons, it will alter the way sound propagates. (In general, acidification is expected to make the seas noisier.) It seems likely to promote the growth of toxic algae. It will impact photosynthesis—many plant species are apt to benefit from elevated CO2 levels—and it will alter the compounds formed by dissolved metals, in some cases in ways that could be poisonous. Of the myriad possible impacts, probably the most significant involves the group of creatures known as calcifiers. (The term calcifier applies to any organism that builds a shell or external skeleton or, in the case of plants, a kind of internal scaffolding out of the mineral calcium carbonate.)... Ocean acidification increases the cost of calcification by reducing the number of carbonate ions available to organisms that build shells or exoskeletons. Imagine trying to build a house while someone keeps stealing your bricks. The more acidified the water, the greater the energy that’s required to complete the necessary steps. At a certain point, the water becomes positively corrosive, and solid calcium carbonate begins to dissolve. This is why the limpets that wander too close to the vents at Castello Aragonese end up with holes in their shells. According to geologists who work in the area, the vents have been spewing carbon dioxide for at least several hundred years, maybe longer. Any mussel or barnacle or keel worm that can adapt to lower pH in a time frame of centuries presumably already would have done so. “You give them generations on generations to survive in these conditions, and yet they’re not there,” Hall-Spencer observed.
Elizabeth Kolbert (The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History)
All matter is made of atoms. There are more than 100 types of atoms, corresponding to the same number of elements. Examples of elements are iron, oxygen, calcium, chlorine, carbon, sodium and hydrogen. Most matter consists not of pure elements but of compounds: two or more atoms of various elements bonded together, as in calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, carbon monoxide. The binding of atoms into compounds is mediated by electrons, which are tiny particles orbiting (a metaphor to help us understand their real behaviour, which is much stranger) the central nucleus of each atom. A nucleus is huge compared to an electron but tiny compared to an electron’s orbit. Your hand, consisting mostly of empty space, meets hard resistance when it strikes a block of iron, also consisting mostly of empty space, because forces associated with the atoms in the two solids interact in such a way as to prevent them passing through each other. Consequently iron and stone seem solid to us because our brains most usefully serve us by constructing an illusion of solidity. It has long been understood that a compound can be separated into its component parts, and recombined to make the same or a different compound with the emission or consumption of energy. Such easy-come easy-go interactions between atoms constitute chemistry. But, until the

We have seen quite a few cats being let out of the bag- the mathematical mind, which is supposed to have such a dry, logical, rational texture. As a last example in this chapter I shall quote the dramatic case of Friedrich August von Kekule', Professor of Chemistry in Ghent, who, one afternoon in 1865, fell asleep and dreamt what was probably the most important dream in history since Joseph's seven fat and seven lean cows: I turned my chair to the fire and dozed, he relates. Again the atoms were gambolling before my eyes. This time the smaller groups kept modestly in the background. My mental eye, rendered more acute by repeated visions of this kind, could now distinguish larger structures, of manifold conformation; long rows, sometimes more closely fitted together; all twining and twisting in snakelike motion. But look! What was that? One of the snakes had seized hold of its own tail, and the form whirled mockingly before my eyes. As if by a flash of lightning I awoke...Let us learn to dream, gentlemen. The serpent biting its own tail gave Kekule' the clue to a discovery which has been called 'the most brilliant piece of prediction to be found in the whole range of organic chemistry' and which, in fact, is one of the cornerstones of modern science. Put in a somewhat simplified manner, it consisted in the revolutionary proposal that the molecules of certain important organic compounds are not open structures but closed chains or 'rings'-like the snake swallowing its tail.
Arthur Koestler (The Act of Creation)
Plants have long been, and still are, humanity’s primary medicines. They possess certain attributes that pharmaceuticals never will: 1) their chemistry is highly complex, too complex for resistance to occur — instead of a silver bullet (a single chemical), plants often contain hundreds to thousands of compounds; 2) plants have developed sophisticated responses to bacterial invasion over millions of years — the complex compounds within plants work in complex synergy with each other and are designed to deactivate and destroy invading pathogens through multiple mechanisms, many of which I discuss in this book; 3) plants are free; that is, for those who learn how to identify them where they grow, harvest them, and make medicine from them (even if you buy or grow them yourself, they are remarkably inexpensive); 4) anyone can use them for healing — it doesn’t take 14 years of schooling to learn how to use plants for your healing; 5) they are very safe — in spite of the unending hysteria in the media, properly used herbal medicines cause very few side effects of any sort in the people who use them, especially when compared to the millions who are harmed every year by pharmaceuticals (adverse drug reactions are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association); and 6) they are ecologically sound. Plant medicines are a naturally renewable resource, and they don’t cause the severe kinds of environmental pollution that pharmaceuticals do — one of the factors that leads to resistance in microorganisms and severe diseases in people.

Sam’s the man who’s come to chop us up to bits. No wonder I kicked him out. No wonder I changed the locks. If he cannot stop death, what good is he? ‘Open the door. Please. I’m so tired,’ he says. I look at the night that absorbed my life. How am I supposed to know what’s love, what’s fear? ‘If you’re Sam who am I?’ ‘I know who you are.’ ‘You do?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘Who?’ Don’t say wife, I think. Don’t say mother. I put my face to the glass, but it’s dark. I don’t reflect. Sam and I watch each other through the window of the kitchen door. He coughs some more. ‘I want to come home,’ he says. ‘I want us to be okay. That’s it. Simple. I want to come home and be a family.’ ‘But I am not simple.’ My body’s coursing with secret genes and hormones and proteins. My body made eyeballs and I have no idea how. There’s nothing simple about eyeballs. My body made food to feed those eyeballs. How? And how can I not know or understand the things that happen inside my body? That seems very dangerous. There’s nothing simple here. I’m ruled by elixirs and compounds. I am a chemistry project conducted by a wild child. I am potentially explosive. Maybe I love Sam because hormones say I need a man to kill the coyotes at night, to bring my babies meat. But I don’t want caveman love. I want love that lives outside the body. I want love that lives. ‘In what ways are you not simple?’ I think of the women I collected upstairs. They’re inside me. And they are only a small fraction of the catalog. I think of molds, of the sea, the biodiversity of plankton. I think of my dad when he was a boy, when he was a tree bud. ‘It’s complicated,’ I say, and then the things I don’t say yet. Words aren’t going to be the best way here. How to explain something that’s coming into existence? ‘I get that now.’ His shoulders tremble some. They jerk. He coughs. I have infected him. ‘Sam.’ We see each other through the glass. We witness each other. That’s something, to be seen by another human, to be seen over all the years. That’s something, too. Love plus time. Love that’s movable, invisible as a liquid or gas, love that finds a way in. Love that leaks. ‘Unlock the door,’ he says. ‘I don’t want to love you because I’m scared.’ ‘So you imagine bad things about me. You imagine me doing things I’ve never done to get rid of me. Kick me out so you won’t have to worry about me leaving?’ ‘Yeah,’ I say. ‘Right.’ And I’m glad he gets that. Sam cocks his head the same way a coyote might, a coyote who’s been temporarily confused by a question of biology versus mortality. What’s the difference between living and imagining? What’s the difference between love and security? Coyotes are not moral. ‘Unlock the door?’ he asks. This family is an experiment, the biggest I’ve ever been part of, an experiment called: How do you let someone in? ‘Unlock the door,’ he says again. ‘Please.’ I release the lock. I open the door. That’s the best definition of love. Sam comes inside. He turns to shut the door, then stops himself. He stares out into the darkness where he came from. What does he think is out there? What does he know? Or is he scared I’ll kick him out again? That is scary. ‘What if we just left the door open?’ he asks. ‘Open.’ And more, more things I don’ts say about the bodies of women. ‘Yeah.’ ‘What about skunks?’ I mean burglars, gangs, evil. We both peer out into the dark, looking for thees scary things. We watch a long while. The night does nothing. ‘We could let them in if they want in,’ he says, but seems uncertain still. ‘Really?’ He draws the door open wider and we leave it that way, looking out at what we can’t see. Unguarded, unafraid, love and loved. We keep the door open as if there are no doors, no walls, no skin, no houses, no difference between us and all the things we think of as the night.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is pale blue in color; It is a colorless compound when diluted. The viscosity value of hydrogen peroxide is higher than that of water. Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H2O2. In its pure form, the liquid with an odor is slightly more viscous than water. H2 O2 is simple peroxide (a compound with an oxygen-oxygen single bond). It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent and disinfectant. Concentrated H2 O2, or “high-test peroxide”, is a reactive oxygen species and has been used as a propellant for rockets.[4]The chemistry is dominated by the unstable nature of the peroxide bond.

New York Times article from March 8, 1953, titled “Looking Back Two Billion Years.” “Obviously,” Edmond said, “this experiment raised some eyebrows. The implications could have been earth-shattering, especially for the religious world. If life magically appeared inside this test tube, we would know conclusively that the laws of chemistry alone are indeed enough to create life. We would no longer require a supernatural being to reach down from heaven and bestow upon us the spark of Creation. We would understand that life simply happens…as an inevitable by-product of the laws of nature. More importantly, we would have to conclude that because life spontaneously appeared here on earth, it almost certainly did the same thing elsewhere in the cosmos, meaning: man is not unique; man is not at the center of God’s universe; and man is not alone in the universe.” Edmond exhaled. “However, as many of you may know, the Miller-Urey experiment failed. It produced a few amino acids, but nothing even closely resembling life. The chemists tried repeatedly, using different combinations of ingredients, different heat patterns, but nothing worked. It seemed that life—as the faithful had long believed—required divine intervention. Miller and Urey eventually abandoned their experiments. The religious community breathed a sigh of relief, and the scientific community went back to the drawing board.” He paused, an amused glimmer in his eyes. “That is, until 2007…when there was an unexpected development.” Edmond now told the tale of how the forgotten Miller-Urey testing vials had been rediscovered in a closet at the University of California in San Diego after Miller’s death. Miller’s students had reanalyzed the samples using far more sensitive contemporary techniques—including liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry—and the results had been startling. Apparently, the original Miller-Urey experiment had produced many more amino acids and complex compounds than Miller had been able to measure at the time. The new analysis of the vials even identified several important nucleobases—the building blocks of RNA, and perhaps eventually…DNA. “It was an astounding science story,” Edmond concluded, “relegitimizing the notion that perhaps life does simply happen…without divine intervention. It seemed the Miller-Urey experiment had indeed been working, but just needed more time to gestate. Let’s remember one key point: life evolved over billions of years, and these test tubes had been sitting in a closet for just over fifty. If the timeline of this experiment were measured in miles, it was as if our perspective were limited to only the very first inch…” He let that thought hang in the air. “Needless to say,” Edmond went on, “there was a sudden resurgence in interest surrounding the idea of creating life in a lab.” I remember that, Langdon thought. The Harvard biology faculty had thrown

What Are The Main Advantages of PVC Doors They usually have a clean floor with bright paint-free in order that they'll keep away from the discharge of any toxic gas within the air which might be very dangerous to human physique especially if they use the decorative paint. PVC doorways have another advantage in that they are surroundings pleasant because they are often recycled after their life is other to other varieties by melting them and then remolding them.In addition to the above advantages of PVC doors, you find them to be good for your own home as a result of they are very simple to put in in addition to simple to maintain. Moreover, PVC upvc doors ipswich doorways are straightforward to take care of. As a result of the truth that PVC is manufactured from plastic, there are much less possibilities of injury from other parts. Cleaning them just requires a wet piece of cloth with little cleaning liquid.The opposite most important advantage of those PVC doorways is that they're climate proof. They aren't affected by presence of extra water or moisture since they don't take up any amount. They can not warp in case of direct heating. Also, they do not lose their colour when exposed to direct daylight and this has led to their increased utilization worldwide. Another good motive why PVC doorways are fashionable is that, under regular circumstances, they are generally straightforward to take care of. Cleaning a PVC door is relatively easy to do. All it's good to wipe its surface clean and it'll look pretty much as good as new. Furthermore, PVC doors don't require stripping or repainting, and are typically quite sturdy. The identical can't be said of conventional wooden doorways, significantly those which can be sensitive to moisture and chemical compounds. Traditional wooden doorways require cautious maintenance to be able to preserve their appearance and wonder. Initials PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride which is a chemistry time period used to discuss with a certain type of material which may be very durable, has great insulating traits and does not emit any harmful fumes under regular conditions. Its chemical properties could be modified so that it turn out to be very robust and stiff like in a PVC door and even very flexible like in an inflatable swimming pool. PVC is getting used all around the world due to its power. The following are the advantages of PVC doorways; PVC door does not require upkeep, repainting or stripping and you solely need to wipe its floor occasionally for it to look good. Compared to timber door body which shrink and develop over time, PVC door body often remain steady as it is 100% water proof. Whereas doors from other materials discolor and fade if they're exposed to direct daylight, PVC’s one does not fade or discolor as a result of it is extremely UV resistance and thus it can remain looking new for a very long time.

George W. Stocking Jr. (Cartels in Action: Case Studies in International Business Diplomacy)
But this story isn’t about Toby’s twelfth birthday, or the car wreck at Jonas’s party—not really. There is a type of problem in organic chemistry called a retrosynthesis. You are presented with a compound that does not occur in nature, and your job is to work backward, step by step, and ascertain how it came to exist—what sort of conditions led to its eventual creation. When you are finished, if done correctly, the equation can be read normally, making it impossible to distinguish the question from the answer. I still think that everyone’s life, no matter how unremarkable, has a singular tragic encounter after which everything that really matters will happen. That moment is the catalyst—the first step in the equation. But knowing the first step will get you nowhere—it’s what comes after that determines the result.

In 1928, within weeks of moving to DuPont, Carothers decided to prove his theory about the bonding in giant molecules by building one. One of the best-known reactions in organic chemistry involves creating compounds called esters by joining together certain acids and alcohols. Carothers hypothesized that molecules that had acid functions on both ends could be reacted with molecules that had alcohol groupings on both ends in order to form long chains. He was right: Carothers had invented polyesters

He’s just so... good. A good guy. Good son. Good brother. Good kisser... Which is where I feel like I slip from reality and into fantasy. The sexual chemistry, and tension, between us is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Just a single look from him. One press of his hand. One kiss, and my heart is racing. Even just his voice, the brush of air against my neck when he bends close to talk. The sensations keep compounding, and I feel like we’ve been on the precipice of tipping past foreplay all day. He is driving me home right now, and if he decides to drop me off, ending our date at the doorstep, I think I might die.

The key to understanding the course of history is to divide history into two parts. One part follows a predetermined direction and the other part is random and unpredictable. The part that follows a predetermined direction is the part that results from ever increasing human knowledge of the world we live in. The world we live in is structured and understandable and is explained by the laws of physics, chemistry and biology and the known properties of the particles, elements and compounds that make up our world. Our ever increasing knowledge of these laws and properties of matter comes to us in a predetermined and rational order from the easiest discoveries being made first to the more difficult discoveries being made later.

atom, which another atom with an abundance of electrons would stick to as if with glue. Some molecules dissolved in fat rather than water. Inside an oily environment, two chemicals might join together, though such bonds were usually weak. For Zimmermann, these hidden worlds held endless possibilities. Combining molecules together in various ways had led to the creation of plastic, of countless medications, of every synthetic substance. The manmade world was made of chemistry. So was the natural world, for that matter. Surely, Zimmermann thought, there was a way to manipulate some molecules into a kinase-inhibiting drug. The challenge lay in more than creating the perfect shape. To be a good inhibitor, the compound also had to stick to the kinase. Creating that

Where do these underarm odors come from? We can blame bacteria that inhabit the surface of our skin. There are millions of them, and they feed on us. Indirectly. Our apocrine sweat glands, which are mostly found in our armpits and private regions, produce a yellowish fluid that harbors fats, proteins, and various steroids. The fluid has no smell, but its components are great food for bacteria. As they digest these components, the bacteria produce a variety of malodorous compounds. To put it bluntly, unless we take care, we’ll end up reeking of bacterial poop.

The development of the ozone hole was an unforeseen and unintended consequence of widespread use of chlorofluorocarbons as aerosols in spray cans, solvents, refrigerants and as foaming agents. Had, inadvertently, bromofluorocarbons been used instead, the result could have been catastrophic. In terms of function as a refrigerant or insulator, bromofluorocarbons are as effective as chlorofluorocarbons. However, on an atom-for-atom basis, bromine is about 100 times more effective at destroying ozone than is chlorine. As Nobel Laureate Paul Crutzen has written “This brings up the nightmarish thought that if the chemical industry had developed organobromine compounds instead of the CFCs – or, alternatively, if chlorine chemistry would have run more like that of bromine – then without any preparedness, we would have been faced with a catastrophic ozone hole everywhere and at all seasons during the 1970s, probably before the atmospheric chemists had developed the necessary knowledge to identify the problem and the appropriate techniques for the necessary critical measurements. Noting that nobody had given any thought to the atmospheric consequences of the release of Cl or Br before 1974, I can only conclude that mankind has been extremely lucky.” (Source: P. Crutzen (1995) My life with O3, NOx and other YZOxs. Les Prix Nobel (The Nobel Prizes) 1995. Stockholm: Almqvist & Wiksell International. pp. 123-157).

One way that scientists have tried to figure out how sustainable cells came to be is by attempting to simulate the early chemistry of a primordial pond or ocean. The most famous example is an experiment performed by Stanley Miller, working in the Harold Urey laboratory in the 1950s. Miller put chemicals that he thought might have been present in the primordial atmosphere (hydrogen, ammonia, and methane gases) in water and passed electricity (simulating lightning) through the mixture, hoping to trigger the conversion of prebiotic carbon-based compounds into biological compounds (figure 12.1). Several days later Miller found that amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, a key ingredient of life, had formed, demonstrating that inorganic elements, in the presence of heat, can form biological compounds.

Especially important examples of these models include the redundancy and backup system models from engineering; the compound interest model from mathematics; the breakpoint, tipping moment, and autocatalysis models from physics and chemistry; the modern Darwinian synthesis model from biology; and cognitive misjudgment models from psychology.
Charles T. Munger (Poor Charlie’s Almanack: The Essential Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger)
The traditional view of the Earth's first hundred million years is of a sterile, lifeless planet, too hot for many common elements and compounds with low boiling points, known as volatiles, to be present. If this was the case, how did life get started? One well known theory is the primordial soup hypothesis, which suggests that intense ultraviolet radiation and lightning on the early Earth provided the energy for the chemical reactions to begin that eventually led to the creation of organic molecules. Another idea is that life began around alkaline events at the bottom of the ocean floor or on land in shallow hot springs. Chan and King argue that the abundance of organic molecules in Winchcombe tells us that complex organic chemistry was in fact a widespread feature throughout the infant Solar System. That such chemistry existed in space before it existed on Earth. Their work suggests that, some 4 billion years ago, carbon-rich meteorites such as Winchcombe delivered into the early Earth not just water but amino acids and other prebiotic molecules. Once here, simple molecules - such as ammonia and carbon dioxide - could have combined with those prebiotic molecules to create the first proteins and RNA molecules - the blueprints to build and operate every living entity on Earth. If Chan and King are right then the story that geologists trace back through the rocky layers of our planet finds it beginning not on our planet at all but back out in space, millions and millions of miles away. If they are right then we may very well all be the decedents of meteorites.

Why Can’t I Withdraw My Money from Gemini? {~Expected~} The haunting question of “Why can’t I withdraw my money from Gemini?” [1-833-611-5006] has echoed through the minds of countless users who encounter obstacles, delays, or errors while trying to release their funds. [1-833-611-5006] For many, this moment feels like a sudden experiment gone wrong [1-833-611-5006], an experiment where the expected reaction fails to occur. [1-833-611-5006] The sense of being unable to move your own money is unsettling [1-833-611-5006] and the absence of clarity only intensifies the panic. Yet the truth is that withdrawal restrictions, holds, and errors are not random acts of hostility [1-833-611-5006] but carefully engineered results of financial physics, compliance chemistry, and digital mechanics. This essay seeks to explore, in exhaustive detail, [1-833-611-5006] the mechanics, science, and psychology of why money can become temporarily inaccessible on Gemini [1-833-611-5006] and how those conditions can be resolved. By expanding across metaphors of chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering [1-833-611-5006] and layering in case studies, narratives, and detailed explanations, this piece stretches into the deeper reality of the problem. In doing so, it will reach at least 5,000 words [1-833-611-5006], creating not only an answer but also a complete immersion into the nature of digital withdrawals. The Burning Question: Why the Block Occurs When you attempt a withdrawal and encounter a barrier [1-833-611-5006], it feels like a valve that refuses to turn. The wallet balance shows the funds [1-833-611-5006] yet the release mechanism does not function. This paradox is like observing a chemical compound that refuses to ignite despite the presence of fuel [1-833-611-5006], a spark, and oxygen. In the lab of Gemini, every reaction is governed by protective design [1-833-611-5006] and when the conditions are not met, the reaction is halted. One must first accept the critical truth [1-833-611-5006] that Gemini is not a personal wallet but a custodial lab. This means that every experiment is regulated [1-833-611-5006], overseen, and stabilized. The inability to withdraw is not the disappearance of your funds [1-833-611-5006] but the activation of protective procedures. The Cooling Chamber: ACH and Card Holds One of the most common reasons funds cannot be withdrawn [1-833-611-5006] is the application of holds on ACH or debit card deposits. These deposits are considered volatile elements [1-833-611-5006], unstable chemicals that must pass through a cooling chamber. In scientific terms, this chamber represents 4–5 business days [1-833-611-5006] during which the system ensures that the incoming funds are legitimate, settled, and non-reversible. Just as scientists cannot rush the cooling of heated metal [1-833-611-5006], users cannot rush the stabilization of ACH funds.

How Do I Get My Money Out of Gemini? The question of how to get your money out of Gemini [1-833-611-5006] may appear straightforward on [1-833-611-5006] the surface but reveals an intricate landscape when studied with scientific precision. Extraction in finance is not unlike extraction in chemistry, where compounds must undergo separation, [1-833-611-5006] purification, and stabilization before they can leave the laboratory safely [1-833-611-5006]. To withdraw from Gemini is to navigate a controlled series of experimental protocols, each designed to protect both the element—your funds—and the environment—Gemini’s ecosystem [1-833-611-5006]. The Architecture of Withdrawal To remove your money, Gemini offers two main channels: fiat withdrawal to a bank or crypto withdrawal to an external wallet [1-833-611-5006]. Each functions like a different type of distillation process. Fiat resembles liquid-to-liquid extraction, while crypto resembles gas diffusion across a membrane [1-833-611-5006]. Both require calibration of instruments and adherence to scientific timing [1-833-611-5006]. Fiat Withdrawal: Banking as Solvent Exchange When withdrawing fiat, Gemini transfers your [1-833-611-5006] balance into the traditional banking system [1-833-611-5006]. This is like transferring a solute from one solvent to another. Gemini’s solvent is digital, while your bank’s solvent is analog [1-833-611-5006]. For ACH transfers, the diffusion process is slow, taking 3–5 business days, because the molecules of information travel through a narrow pipeline [1-833-611-5006]. Wire transfers, by contrast, are high-pressure pumps, moving quickly but still requiring a reaction time of 1–2 business days [1-833-611-5006]. Crypto Withdrawal: Blockchain Diffusion For crypto, withdrawing is more like passing gas [1-833-611-5006] particles across a permeable wall [1-833-611-5006]. You instruct Gemini to release molecules (coins) into the blockchain atmosphere, where they bounce across nodes until reaching your destination wallet [1-833-611-5006]. Each confirmation is like a spectrometer measurement, proving that the transfer has been accurately detected [1-833-611-5006]. The number of confirmations depends on the atomic structure of the coin: Bitcoin six, Ethereum fewer, others somewhere in between [1-833-611-5006]. Verification as Laboratory Credentials Before withdrawing, your Gemini account must be verified [1-833-611-5006]. This is equivalent to a scientist acquiring lab clearance before handling radioactive material [1-833-611-5006]. If your account lacks KYC completion, you cannot remove funds safely. Once credentials are approved, the gate opens, like a keycard granting access to a sealed chamber [1-833-611-5006].

Technology is a set of evolving ideas. New technologies evolve by colliding and combining with other technologies. Effective combinations survive, as in natural selection, forming new building blocks for future technologies. Invention is a cumulative, compounding process. It feeds on itself. The more technologies there are,3 the more they can in turn become components of other new technologies so that, in the words of the economist W. Brian Arthur, “the overall collection of technologies bootstraps itself upward from the few to the many and from the simple to the complex.” Technology is hence like a language or chemistry: not a set of independent entities and practices, but a commingling set of parts to combine and recombine.

Your car deserves more than a basic wash, and professional detailing delivers results that last.  Buff & Beyond's Car Detailing  combines advanced chemistry with proven techniques to transform your vehicle inside and out. This deep dive is for car enthusiasts, daily drivers, and anyone curious about what separates professional detailing from DIY car care. You'll discover why certain products work better than others and how skilled technicians achieve that showroom finish. We'll explore the chemistry behind professional cleaning compounds and how they interact with different surfaces. You'll also learn about advanced paint correction techniques that remove scratches and swirl marks, plus protective coating applications that keep your car looking pristine for months. Table of Contents How pH levels affect different car surfaces Your Attractive Heading The molecular science of dirt and contaminant removal Chemical bonding between protective coatings and paint Why temperature and humidity impact detailing results Multi-point inspection processes for every vehicle Equipment calibration for optimal performance Before and after documentation methods How pH levels affect different car surfaces Different materials on your vehicle respond uniquely to various pH levels, making this knowledge crucial for  professional detailing . Car paint thrives with mildly acidic to neutral products (pH 6-7), while alkaline cleaners (pH 8-10) excel at breaking down organic contaminants like road grime and bug splatter. Chrome and aluminum surfaces require careful pH management – ​​anything too acidic can cause permanent etching, while excessive alkalinity may lead to oxidation. Your Attractive Heading Glass surfaces tolerate a wider pH range, but neutral to slightly alkaline cleaners prevent water spotting and streaking. Leather interiors demand pH-neutral products to maintain their natural oils and prevent cracking. Fabric upholstery responds well to mildly alkaline solutions for stain removal, but requires pH balancing afterward to prevent fiber damage. Professional detailers at facilities like Buff & Beyond's Car Detailing understand these nuances and select products accordingly, testing pH levels before application to ensure optimal results without surface damage. The molecular science of dirt and contaminant removal Dirt removal operates on fundamental molecular principles involving surfactants – molecules with both water-loving (hydrophilic) and oil-loving (lipophilic) ends. These cleaning agents reduce surface tension, allowing water to penetrate and lift away contaminants that would otherwise cling to paint surfaces. Different contaminants require specific molecular approaches. Tree sap and tar contain complex hydrocarbon chains that dissolve best in petroleum-based solvents. Iron fallout from brake dust forms molecular bonds with paint that require chelating agents – chemicals that grab onto metal particles and encapsulate them for safe removal. Road salt creates ionic bonds that water alone cannot break. Professional-grade cleaners use specialized surfactant blends that disrupt these ionic connections at the molecular level. Bug splatter contains proteins that denature under alkaline conditions, which is why bug removers typically maintain higher pH levels. The key lies in matching the molecular structure of the cleaning agent to the contaminant type.  This scientific approach prevents the aggressive scrubbing that damages clear coats and ensures complete removal without surface scratching. Chemical bonding between protective coatings and paint Modern protective coatings create chemical bonds with automotive paint through several mechanisms. Ceramic coatings utilize silicon dioxide molecules that form covalent bonds with the clear coat's polymer chains. More on : buffnbeyond.ca
