I’m really happy to see some of your thoughts on these things. I’ve been thinking a lot about them lately—particularly because I’ve been learning about God‘s design of our iron-sulfur proteins in the electron transport chain in our mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell), which are used to move protons and electrons around and deal with an electronegative and paramagnetic gas in Earth’s atmosphere.

Oxygen is actually the only paramagnetic gas on the periodic table.

It is of utmost importance that biochemists and biologists go outside of their realm and start talking to physicists and quantum physicists to truly understand God‘s beautiful design. It’s particularly important since Doug Wallace, a great researcher out of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has linked most chronic illnesses back to mitochondrial dysfunction.

I probably shouldn’t go without mentioning that all of these iron-sulfur-based proteins in the electron transport chain have an absorption and emission spectrum, and need specific wavelengths of light (the ones in our atmosphere) to move electrons around efficiently.

I truly appreciate the fact that you didn’t cite any papers and pulled all of this from your thoughts—because this is precisely how we got to where we are today. It’s pretty amazing that everything now has to go through a randomized clinical trial, when Einstein wrote several papers based on thought experiments, and those became some of the most foundational principles we use in physics today.

And, since I have a funny feeling there might be some mention of entropy in your next post, I’ll go ahead and mention that Einstein wasn’t sure about all the stuff he was writing about, but he was pretty solid in his opinion that the laws of thermodynamics would never change—and anything outside of them is pseudoscience.

Well, Todd, now you've really given me some more things to think about and to study. Thanks for bringing up 'iron-sulfur proteins in the electron transport chain in our mitochondria', and 'Oxygen is actually the only paramagnetic gas'.

I don’t believe in particle duality either…what is there aren’t photons at all? What if electron interactions with electro magnetic waves works like a lottery and there is only so much chance that you observe a light/electron interaction based on the frequency(I think) and the lower the frequency the less chance there is for these interactions so we perceive it to be just one photon being emitted…not sure I understand this right but here is a great explanation from someone who sounds like he knows what he’s talking about:

At least, we know what you are thinking about, even if we also don't understand it.

I'm leading a chemistry themed VBS this coming week. I enjoyed the post and how God seems to bring me confirmation of what I'm thinking about, studying, writing, and teaching, by bringing similar/related ideas to me.

Intriguing. If only Nikola Tesla were still around...

... Damn you - Edison.

Additionally, I find it very difficult to agree with the conspiracy pertaining to hydrogen energy as fuel. For example: rumors that it takes more energy to process hydrogen than makes economical sense. When in reality, I make hydrogen gas from simple and non toxic distilled water, low voltage electric current and a cheap electrolyte called baking soda. Adding a particular mesh configuration. And it actually produces its own electricity at a higher volume of the current that activate the electrolyte.

The fact of the matter only depends upon whether you are a centralized energy corporation or a decentralized individual.

Regardless, I find this particular post - extremely amusing and disappointing.

Compliments to you for recognizing that perhaps what is taught in university is based upon corporate philosophy and geo-indoctrination. Sprinkled with a Rockefeller/Carnegie/Morgan industrialized sales pitch.

If you can produce hydrogen gas, which is a great fuel, economically, why aren’t you doing it? Investors will beat a path to your door.

Al, you make that sound too easy, if that is the case, then everyone would be doing it. Plug Power, for example, produces various forms of H2OO at scale from. I believe Black Rock PE basically owns it now . Whereas - Heliogen and SunHydrogen - things get interesting.

I believe we had this conversation between us before. But I have a lot of them regarding this particular subject.

I'm actually referring to the HFC that which produces electricity from the gas.
