Chemistry game

Our knowledge of the structure of materials is thru our senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching. Our senses are greatly augmented by mechanical sensors that have a far wider range and sensitivity. It should not be forgotten that just because we do not detect anything that does not mean that it is not there. We know a great deal of "what" the laws of physics are by observing them with our senses and sensors.

Using the theory of chaos that shows that the patterns seen on one level are similar to the patters that one expects on levels to small to observe and in levels too large to see. This gives us the ability to make predictions. By knowing the mechanism of how things work on our level, we can predict a similar mechanism for the too small and to too large. This can help us understand not only “how” things work, but also “why” they work.

Predictions

The elusive aether of space will be discovered, much like the invisible molecules of air were. Change is as inherent in nature as evolution is in life. Our universe will be found to change its properties to properties unable to sustain life. In order to survive, mankind will be forced to find a new fabric (universe) with the right properties required for life. To do this man will have to master the technique of moving faster than light. This will be similar to super-sonic travel.

The observed red shift of distant objects interpreted as moving away from us (at great speeds approaching the speed of light) is not due to the universe expanding. It is due to inherent imperfections of inertia and the inherent properties of the aether forming the fabric of space. The size of our universe will be found to be very much smaller than believed at present. Light will be found to slow down as it travels farther and farther out.

Once we can travel faster than light, we will be able to travel back to our past as passive observers in a virtual reality field that we would not be able to differentiate from our reality. All is recorded in the EM fields propagated by every atom. In order to visit our past we need to travel faster than light and catch up to what was emitted in the past which have radiated out to space at the speed of light. This technology will start as an entertainment attraction at first and then it will be used by the police to solve crimes, putting an end to all crime. To witness the events in a room 100 years ago, we have to calculate where the room was in space 100 years ago and go to a point 100LY away from that. Then we have to capture and record this radiation and travel back to earth and reconstruct this signal and play it back as a virtual reality experience. Waves from the brain transmit thoughts that could be captured, analyzed and recreated to read thoughts. Lying became impossible to cover up. 

Nano technology will allow us to automatically fabricate any material in any shape we need by using 3D copying techniques similar to 2D copying of photographs.

Robots will evolve and will give us great comfort and immortality. Robots will be found essential to man’s evolution and survival and will be used to find his creator.

Chemistry game

This game is an entertaining way to learn about chemistry. It allows the player to: 

• Building models of molecules from C, H, O, N, Na, and Cl atoms using magnetic pieces that represent atoms. 
• Model how animals use O2 to break up Carbohydrates, and Hydrocarbons and to carry away the residue C and H atoms as CO2 and H2O. 
• Model how plants use CO2 and H2O to build up Hydrocarbons. 
• Show how an acid HCl and soda lye NaOH combine to form a salt NaCl and water H2O. 

The characters:

Hydrogen (H) bonds with most atoms. H is the smallest atom. H can be very aggressive and corrosive in acids when it loses its charge, like babies who lose their pacifier.

H is represented by babies.

Carbon (C) has 2 unpaired electrons allowing it to make chains. Life is built around the carbon atom. Diamonds are made of carbon.

C is represented by women.

Nitrogen (N) is the main constituent of air and is used to make protein and muscle.

N is represented by acrobats.

Oxygen (O) can make strong bonds, and can breaks strong bonds.

O is represented by firemen.

Sodium (Na) and other Metal atoms easily lose their electrons becoming ions and bond tightly with Fluorine, and Chlorine.

Na and other metal atoms are represented by bees.

Chlorine (Cl) and other Halogens are attractively aggressive and corrosive. They attract metal ions and make very tight holding bonds with them. 

Cl and other Halogens are represented by flowers.

Game Rules

Each player has a marker below each of the 8 columns on the score card. The object of the game is to get all 8 markers to the 4th layer of the score card at the top. To get your marker on the first layer, you have to pick the right corresponding atom for that column. To get to the top, you have to make 3 compounds with the corresponding atom.

When you pick an atom piece with a flower on it, you can play the role of a plant. You can use your accumulated atom pieces to build up a carbohydrate chain, and accumulate your oxygen atoms so that eventually you can tear down your opponent's carbohydrate chain.

When you pick an atom piece with a bee, you can play the role of an animal. You can use your accumulated oxygen atoms to cut up your opponent’s carbohydrate chain, forcing your opponent to start from scratch.

Score Card

The score card has 32 squares of pictures arranged in 4 layers and 8 columns. It categorizes most of the types of compounds that we are familiar with on a daily basis. It starts with carbon on the left and displays its characteristics to form one dimensional chains as in soot, 2D sheets as in graphite and 3D crystals as in diamonds. Then it adds hydrogen, oxygen, more oxygen, and then nitrogen to these structures to make the next columns.

In this way as we progress from left to right, we see how rubber and plastic products made by man are similar to cellulose, leather, muscle and bone made by nature. The table of compounds displays a relationship between Life, Sun, Water, Fire, Air, Sea and Earth, showing how complex compounds evolve from simple ones to reach the pinnacle at the center top representing the proteins that make up man.

The 1st column represents Carbon and the different forms it displays from soot particles at the bottom, to graphite sheets and diamond crystals at the top.

The 2nd column represents Hydrogen and builds on the carbon column. H, the lightest atom, makes up 75% of the universe. Stars are ovens for burning and fusing H atoms into heavier atoms. Building on carbon column hydrocarbon compounds are produced when carbon is dressed up in hydrogen. Carbon's shape allows it to form linear chains, branches and loops. When these carbon structures are dressed in hydrogen, we get methane, and ethane, gas for the shorter chains, butane, pentane, and octane gasoline and diesel, oils, wax, tar and asphalt for the longer chains and plastics and rubbers for endless chains.

The 3rd column represents Oxygen and builds on the hydrocarbon column. The oxygen is added to hydrocarbon chains giving them an alcohol head (COH) forming molecules called carbohydrates, which are watered or hydrated hydrocarbons. Depending on the hydrocarbon chains, different alcohols are produced like methanol (toxic) and ethanol (intoxicating). By atomically binding water to hydrocarbons, gasoline, and alcohols are produced. By binding water to tar and asphalt, on an atomic level and chaining alcohols together, sugars, starches, and cellulose are produced. All are water soluble. This binding requires living plants that use sunlight as fuel to recombine CO2 and H2O to make carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the basic structure of plants and the fuel of animals.

The 4th column represents more Oxygen added to carbohydrates. Vegetable oil, fats and wax compounds are produced when carbohydrates are capped with oxygen. With the added oxygen to the (COH) alcohol head, acids are produced with a (COOH) head. With the acid head on different hydrocarbon chains, different acids are produced called fatty acids, which clump together forming the lipid compounds oils, and fats. All are insoluble in water. Organic acids from fat react with organic bases with metallic heads from the ash of burned wood to form alcohol and organic salts called soaps.

The 5th column represents Nitrogen, and builds up on fats binding the strings of fatty acids into a sponge of protein. The (NCOOH) head forms nucleic and amino acids which are the basic structures of living organisms. With the same acid head (NCOOH) on different chains, different nucleic and amino acids are produced. Nitrogen’s shape allows it to form similar chains to those of carbohydrates, but with forks and twists to them. This forms materials such as the DNA double helix made from nucleic acids, and protein made from amino acids. The twisting in DNA allows the chains containing the codes of life to be twisted up to minimum size and the chains to be rolled up like a recording tape. It also allows it to be untwisted and copied as a template. The twisting in muscle allows contraction and expansion like in a coiled spring.

The 6th and 7th columns represent Chlorine (Cl) and Sodium (Na). Chlorine holds her electrons very tightly and forms aggressive acids like HCl with hydrogen. Sodium is very loose with his electrons, and bonds with OH to form bases. When bases are mixed with acids, salts and water are formed.

The 8th column represents Silicon (S) which is the big sister of Carbon, both having similar shapes. Sand is mainly silicon, and when melted, it forms chains similar to carbon chains. The chains, packed together, form transparent hard glass or transparent soft silicone. This can be likened to how spaghetti is packaged.

When the chains of Si are cooked and linked by oxygen, silicone, a soft jelly kind of material is produced. When pure silicon atoms make a crystal, the crystal can be etched to make computer chips with artificial intelligence. This is similar to how carbon is used by nature to form living animals that have intelligence. Just as CO2 molecules in the air act like a sheet of glass over land capturing and storing heat like a greenhouse, SiO2 molecules for a solid called “sand” at normal temperatures with none of the crystals aligned to allow light thru. When melted into a flowing liquid, like in LEDs, the crystals align like swimming fish and allow light to shine thru.
