In reply to the discussion: Would any of our Sophisticated Theologians™ here at DU care to comment on this? [View all]LTX
(1,020 posts)22. Would any of the Sophisticated Scientists here at DU care to comment on this?
With respect to thiotimoline and its contra-indication as a rudimentary "Heisenberg failure" --
Now once more we can broaden our scope. We can pass from the 'tetrahedral carbon atom' to the 'endochronic carbon atom', in which the two planes of carbon valence bonds are not both spatial in the ordinary sense. One, instead, is temporal. It extends in time, that is. In the temporal plane, one bond extends toward yesterday and one toward tomorrow. Such a carbon atom cannot be presented on paper in the ordinary way and no effort will be made to do so.
Such an endochronic carbon atom is obviously very unstable and can occur only rarely, in fact only within the molecule of thiotimoline as far as we know. What there is in thiotimoline structure to cause this, what sort of super steric hindrance is as yet unknown, but the endochronic atom undoubtedly exists. As a result of its existence, a small portion of the thiotimoline molecule exists in the past and another small portion in the future. It is this small portion of the molecule existing the future which is dissolved by water which also exists in the future. The remainder of the molecule is dragged into solution in the process and thus 'dissolves' in water which to all appearances is not there.

I'm not a Calvinist and don't understand their thinking, so I can't comment

Well, none of our Serious Theologians want to respond, but they DO want to hide it!

Do you think it's because they are illegally using the trademark Serious Theologian?
