New Results Contradict Long-Held Chemistry Dogma
An anonymous reader writes "Researchers have found that the long-held belief that only the outer, valence, electrons of an atom interact may be false. Computer simulations have shown that at pressures like those in the center of the Earth the inner, core, electrons of lithium also interact."
So where are the Dilithium Crystals? Huh.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Aahhh, that's why all the experiments I made while standing in the center of the earth sometime failed!
Computer simulations?
You mean like the computer simulations that say the earth is warming? Hahahaha...
Indeed. Between your intuition and computer simulations running on super-computers based on decades of research on predictive models designed by the most competent and dedicated researchers in the domain, always trust your intuition.
This is why I never watch the weather channel, I just look at how leaves move in the wind, how menacing clouds look, then I wet my pointer finger, put it in the air and I can tell you how the weather will be tomorrow. Well I can tell what it will be, doesn't mean I turn out to be right, but hey, the Weather Channel is wrong sometimes too!
You just got troll'd!
The knowledge wasn't forgotten. Columbus was the exception, not the rule. Everyone was telling him "Columbus, you're a dumbass. India's at least twice as far away as you think it is". You can't blame an entire time period for Columbus' fortuitous stupidity.
Yes

What about those of us who don't get the uniforms? :-p
lol: You see no door there!
Man I hate it when you re-read something you wrote and find stupid little errors:
There is also the factor of election-electron interaction
Apparently I have the upcoming presidential election on my mind too much these days, it's even starting to creep into my chemistry...
Of course I meant electRon-electron interaction, not electIon-electron interaction. Still, I'm pretty sure that electrons will be vitally important in the upcoming elections!
Sapere aude!
He also invented the sieve, didn't he?
