Periodic Table Table Poster Post
TheodoreGray writes to mention his
Artsy Periodic Table Poster. Others here have discovered his Periodic Table Table and his sodium-in-the-lake party. He concludes, "And if I post about posters again, I could be a Periodic Periodic Table Table Poster Poster."
It's very pretty. Nice use of images ..... especially the Noble gases. Even pictures of the scientists after which some of the *cough* harder-to-obtain elements were named! I'm going to order one of the 68x134 ones if they can be shipped to the UK.
If you like this, you'll probably also like Kalzium.
Je fume. Tu fumes. Nous fûmes!
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. On the flip side, I am considering selling sodium on ebay by the pound, and then shipping buyers two pounds of salt. Just think of the free chlorine as an added bonus!
I Am My Own Worst Enemy
I would just like to say in my defense that in the form I submitted the story it wasn't just a shameless plug for my poster. It was a shameful plug disguised with interesting links to the recent Brainiac alkali metal explosions fiasco, which I'm genuinely surprised didn't get any attention on slashdot. Sorry about the server, again. It was supposed to be able to handle it. Unfortunately they have their hands around my bandwidth neck because for some reason our sysadmin department feels it's more important to keep wolfram.com running than my periodic table table site. Where is the appreciation for fine art in this world? If only people would buy my poster, I could afford more bandwidth for sodium explosions. There, now you have a truly shameless plug to complain about.
As a Chemistry major, I was interested to know that there are more than just one way to explore the properties of the elements. A few examples can be found here: http://www.wou.edu/las/physci/ch412/alttable.htm. I wonder if any of these guys could be made into some type of artwork...
