I would not be posting about this theory - let alone creating graphics-intensive web pages introducing it - if it were not worthy of my efforts. It is my goal, as well as that of the author of this theory, that through actively sharing it in forums such as this, someone may actually give more than just a cursory look at the work he has done (Decoding the Periodic Table), and then point out precisely what makes it "nonsense". That would be most helpful.
I went to the pyramid web site and it is basically all nonsense and I only spent a few moments there, I became concerned about permanent brain damage if I read too much.
But to the specifics! I started in the gravity section; the site proclaimed that 'science' says atoms are spheres and then it states, "If atomic particles were actually spherical objects, they would only make contact with one another at a single point on their spherical surface when bundling together to form chemical elements".
This is an absurd and false claim, atoms are not considered spheres. Apparently his chemistry education consists of looking at some pictures of chemical bonding on google images. He tries to refute the mainstream without even having a clue what the mainstream is saying. Pretty typical of these psuedo-science cranks.
So anyway as you can see from the quote he assumes that the electrostatic forces that hold molecules together are only where the spheres are touching. I mean that is the stupidist thing I have heard in a while. Who in the hell could even come up with such a stupid idea?
Anyway based on this moronic misinterpretation of chemistry that led him think that the forces that hold molecules together are only where the 'spheres' touch this idiot says atoms must be little cubes. That way they wouldn't touch at just one spot. It is like this whole thing was written by 9 year old.
He then jumps to nuclear forces. Do you know what he thinks a nuclues looks like. Yep, you guessed a drawing of red and white spheres packed together as seen in google images. More of those pesky spheres. He does not say if science thinks the neutrons and protons are actually red and white though. So of course the strong force is transfered only where the spheres are touching (he really says that!), and the would result in a nucleus that was very porus (because of the rigid little spheres!). Well gee, if they aren't rigid little spheres what else could they be?? You got it neutrons and protons are little cubes. It results is a much less porus nucleus.
It is dismally pathetic. It isn't even funny just sad really. Maybe it is just a parody site like the
Onion, here's to hoping....
Oh, and I hope this is helpful!
