Another Thread

Let me be so bold as to reconfigure the Periodic Table. Take a moment to look at the form of the table, with two pillar columns on the ends, a deeper space in the middle and some interesting diagonal divisions between elements. Note especially the line dividing the metals and the metalloids, a conflict which exists because these elements are in areas where electronic structure makes them inconvenient to be mined and used stablely.

First draw a line through Silicon, Arsenic, Tellurium and Astatine. Now draw a line diagonal through Aluminum, Zinc, Silver and Platinum, and then extend it into the actinide and lanthanide series, it points to Erbium and Einsteinium. But when you realize that the inset is one row up, then it corrects to Terbium and Curium. Now draw a third diagonal from Lithium through Magnesium, Scantium and Zirconium, which extends through Neodymium and Neptunium. I find it interesting that this coupling groups Uranium in with alkali and alkali earth metals - it makes sense that Uranium should have a cationic migratory complex - a prediction of the theory that would be verifyable. Do we have uranium salts?

At any rate, the latter two diagonal lines give you a very interesting inverted pyramid in the middle. The large pyramid on the right reaches a peak at carbon and contains gold at the foot. But the inverted pyramid in the middle contains all the catalytic transition metals that function in biological and chemical systems to allow the carbon transformation to take place. This hidden pyramid has an eye - Technitiun is a listed element that really doesn't exist. It also contains the actinides and lanthanides Gadolinium, Europium, Samarium, Plutonium and Americium, but only when you insert the f-shell properly into the table in the sixth row, not as a below cut-out.

I wonder if the elements that are bisected by the lines of the pyramids have some special significance? I must admit that i have been reading on Egypotology and Sacred Geometry - the flower of life stuff. I have also been exploring Eastern thought via the I Ching as a specific attempt to control emotions like anger and frustration with apparently mundane trivialities that bother my physical existance. That is if i decide to beleive any of this after i've worked my way through bith the philosophy and the mathematics. But - for now, i cannot disprove, and the periodic table insight is astonishing spooky for the correctness of things that i know only because of my advanced training, not due to my general knowledge.

Depth and Breadth are simultaneously important - the door can only be seen with a mastery of both. The door leads to a third dimension, wisdom - which i hope to gather for application on this endeavor. The pointer to Einsteinium as a false indicator confirms to me a notion that i had that c, the speed of light is not a constant, as has been assumed. But to hunt further, I need to clean up some of the open ends of life, and set up physical existence on a more stable basis. Spending time developing the mechanism to get to where we are going, the proper form and function of conveyance, will be where my head is at.

Odd distraction for a Thursday morning, but you go with the flow when you think.
