And again this delves into the bizarre mash up between the occult and science we get examples of how these magical numbers originate. Our story today from the Free To Find Truth Blog begins with a biblical quotation about six hundred three score and six talents of gold. 666. And not in Revelations! That's got to mean something! Response from the blogger references hermeticism (in this case alchemy) and carbon atoms from a purely scientific standpoint.
No surprise that it's not one or the other. Anything that gets you to 666 must be something. Whether it's occult forces or science. Or a combination. No the shadow empire has to pay off or murder all the scientists in on the carbon atom hoax.
The alchemy is turning carbon into gold because a carbon atom is 6 protons, six neutrons and six electrons. And there you go again invoking science because throwing around sciency stuff sounds cool. Of course your grasp of science isn't strong enough to understand that it really only means 6 for six protons.
Oh yeah, that's by far the most common form. Atoms can have a different number of electrons, called ions. And as is definitely the case with carbon the number of neutrons can be different. Isotopes.
The funny thing about atoms is that they exist as a happy family of protons, electrons and neutrons at the lower end of the periodic table. The higher the atomic number, purely dictated by protons, the more unstable the are. The gravitational pull of neutrons holds the nucleus together as the protons magnetically repel each other. (Opposites attract, like sides repel as any school child knows.)
At the upper end of the table you need more neutrons to hold things together. And back to our buddy carbon. You have heard of carbon dating, right Zach? It's carbon 14 with 8 neutrons. It exists in nature, i.e. not solely manufactured in a laboratory or result of a nuclear explosion or something.
Just another not terribly well thought out idea that sounded good on the surface but ends up showing that the end result 666 is more important than whatever bullshit way it was created.
Nancy Drool tried carbon dating. She ended up leaving her carbon 13 isotope even though he was a stable fellow. She thought she found the one. A mutt named Hydrogen. But he had his name legally changed. He was born named Tritium.
