Is the periodic table next??
So I never actually enjoyed the periodic table in Chem. class ... I was reading this article about some Stewart guy somewhere who has revised and put out a more modern periodic table which "American schools are placing orders daily for".Then I realised ... isn't it true that ...
"after seeing the periodic table—it seemed to me an incredible achievement to have brought the whole, vast, and seemingly chaotic universe of chemistry to an all-embracing order" It's also said about Mendeleev ... "To have perceived an overall organization, a superarching principle uniting and relating all the elements, had a quality of the miraculous, of genius." (Mendeleev is the guy who made the periodic table, if you didn't know yet, DUH!!)
Oliver Sacks' following statement that hit me HARD was ... "And this gave me, for the first time, a sense of the transcendent power of the human mind, and the fact that it might be equipped to discover or decipher the deepest secrets of nature, to read the mind of God."
YIKES!! It's one thing to be in awe for the Creator our God who has once again proved to be the greatest Designer & Architect there is. But it's a totally shameful notion to think that if you dig deeper, research harder & fuse things together again & again ... you will finally have the whole list of elements that can be ever created in the world & then state that you have successfull "read the mind of God".
I titled this blog so, 'cos I hope no retard would think that the periodic table is another sign that there is a Great Designer behind the existence of everything around us and ask for it to be removed from the school curriculum!! This is the US, anything can happen :P ... JK
