What if there is an element that is similar to the almighty carbon in almost every way, but exhibits none of its functions in nature? That's the mystery of silicon, the most abundant element on Earth, and yet seems to be the unappreciated stepchild of the organic world.

I believe there's more to it that that, no?

Isn't it strange that there is a group of air-breathing mammals that lives in an environment that may result in them suffocating? Other than humans in space, the only other creatures that chose to leave their comfort zones are cetaceans (whales and porpoises).

The explanation for humans is simple: adventure and/or stupidity. But what about whales?

If you dig down into the Earth far enough, you will notice the gradually decreasing complexity of life that came before us, interrupted now and then by periods of extinction. But what if there is a gap of complexity that can't be explained? A sudden, inexplicable layer of the strangest most alien creatures to ever walked (swam?) the Earth? And what's more, before that, there is practically nothing in comparison to them?

​Have we found the moment when God's hand meddles in Earthly matters?

Chemistry, to put it simply, is just another application of physics. It's what happens when nature uses the laws that governs it to form tangible things. Things that reacts upon and interacts with one another.

And since the most basic application of physics is the atom, we must first look into this fundamental building material to understand even the most basic of chemical principles.

Is a grain of salt a single molecule, or is it just a bunch which happens to stick together? If you've been following us, you'd know that a molecule is a group of atoms which had bonded together by their respective covalent electrons. It then begs the question: how big can molecules get?

​The answer? As big as you want...
