Title and Contents pages: The Ouroboros Symbol The Ouroboros, - the snake eating its tail - represents the seamless continuity of the Universe, the reality beyond the illusion of a beginning and an end. In our books it stands for the meeting of Ancient with Modern knowledge, and encapsulates the idea of recurring octaves in cycles – the one on the title page is taken from an Alexandrian Gnostic manuscript with the Greek inscription ‘All is One’, whilst that on the Contents Page twists into the symbol for infinity 2 ATUM TO ATOM 5: Molecules and Three-Dimensional Orchestras CONTENTS AIMS OF THIS BOOK 4 Prelude: Back To The Periodic Table 7 INTRODUCTION 14 Blueprints for Order: the Platonic Solids 18 The Search for Molecular Order: the Forerunners 23 ARTHUR M YOUNG 38 YOUNG'S MOLECULAR OCTAVE NOTE 1 (DOH): ONE-ELEMENT CRYSTALS 41 YOUNG'S MOLECULAR OCTAVE NOTE 2 (RE): TWO-ELEMENT CRYSTALS 45 YOUNG'S MOLECULAR OCTAVE NOTE 3 (MI): ORGANIC MOLECULES 47 Interlude: Oxygen and Nitrogen enter the scene 50 YOUNG'S MOLECULAR OCTAVE NOTE 4 (FA): COMPOUNDS OF COMPOUNDS 56 Hauschka's Crosses 72 YOUNG'S MOLECULAR OCTAVE NOTE 5 (SOL): CHAIN MOLECULES/POLYMERS 75 Plants as Transmitters of Zodiac and Planetary Influence/Carriers of the Periodic Table 77 YOUNG'S MOLECULAR OCTAVE NOTE 6 (LA): PROTEINS AND AMINO ACIDS 83 YOUNG'S MOLECULAR OCTAVE NOTE 7 (TI): CODED MOLECULES AND VIRUSES 90 Viruses 90 DNA and its Molecular Structure 92 INFLUENCE OF PLANT OR STONE MOLECULES ON ANIMALS AND HUMANS 103 CONCLUSIONS 109 Appendix A 117 Appendix B 119 Appendix C 120 BIBLIOGRAPHY 122 3 ATUM TO ATOM 5: Molecules and Three-Dimensional Orchestras MOLECULES AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL ORCHESTRAS Harmonic Archetypes: The Five Platonic and Thirteen Archimedean Solids AIMS OF THIS BOOK We give here the bare bones of the fascinating story of what happens when atoms combine and the three-dimensional material world comes into being - in both natural and artificial guises – with recommendations for fuller books to refer to all the way through. Where single atoms are invisible to the naked eye, amassed molecules surround us in plain sight – every substance is made of molecules – thus constituting a turning point in the creation of material life on our planet, leading to the development of plants and animals, neatly summed up in this diagram: In Book 3 we showed that the sequential order of atoms by atomic weight in the Periodic Table is governed by the gradual increase in the number of subatomic particles surrounding the nucleus, positioned in seven surrounding shells of increasing capacity to hold them (see, for instance, the example of Uranium below where all the surrounding orbital spheres are occupied). At rare intervals, however, throughout the Table pairs of atoms next to each other reverse the sequence with each other, for reasons we do not yet understand1. Atoms work through the interaction of a core triad of particles: proton, neutron and electron and these along with others, as described in Book 3, occupy a miniature octave of seven keynote sub- particles, all in the end derived from photons (primary light pulses – see diagram above). The seven electron-occupied shells of Uranium – from Tom Jackson THE PERIODIC TABLE BOOK When we come to molecules - which are combinations of atoms - the variety of ways in which they can be constituted and interlinked is almost countless, each compound playing a specific role in the fabric of life. If the Elements are like the fixed number of letters in the alphabet of matter, then we could say molecules are the words that can be written with them – while interlinked molecules make whole sentences. 1 These are Argon-Potassium; Cobalt-Nickel; Iodine-Tellurium and Thorium-Protactinium - and some radioactive pairs among the heavy, man-made Elements – perhaps analogous to the loops made by some planets when retrograde. 4 ATUM TO ATOM 5: Molecules and Three-Dimensional Orchestras Ill.5- 1: Calcium Sulphate (gypsum)– from Theodore Gray MOLECULES: THE ELEMENTS AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF EVERYTHING [Photos Nick Mann] It is in the nature of this nano-numbering that we can explain the nature of the music and colour underlying each Element. When combined to form molecules, musical phrases form, sometimes revealing intermediate colours. This is a vast subject, and our aim differs from most other popular publications by trying to characterise the broad framework for that hidden musical order and colour harmony perpetually playing on the molecular world level, seen and heard in heightened states of consciousness by shamans and visionaries. ELEMENTS ANCIENT AND MODERN By now the trust people place in the power of specific molecules is as unquestioning as that vested in the healing powers of holy relics in the Middle Ages, and we forget how radically the analysis and use of molecules has rewritten humanity’s self-image in every domain of life, from crime detection to food analysis, or medicine to ancestry-tracking. I would like to think that after reading this short booklet you will be better able to match intellectual knowledge about molecules to individual substances you come across in your daily lives, and start becoming more aware of the patterns governing a miniature world whose structures consist of myriads of combinations of specific atoms. Some Elements in molecule form have only recently come into their own: these include (below top row from left to right) Silicon chips used in computers; Ill.5- 2: Modern Elements that few people are aware are used in modern daily technology 5 ATUM TO ATOM 5: Molecules and Three-Dimensional Orchestras Strontium used in Sensodyne toothpaste; or Tellurium, the active ingredient of the rewritable data layer on CDs or DVDs (as I name these, try to locate them on the Periodic Table). On the bottom row above left to right we have a brain-scan made possible by radioactive Rubidium (better than X-ray); in the centre is a detail of the electronic components on a microchip using Hafnium (other kinds of circuit board use Ruthenium Dioxide), while on the right we see a section of the solar panels on a Mars explorer robot that are activated by Gallium and Arsenic. Indeed, Iridium2 content in a particular archaeological stratum turns out to be an indicator of ‘the dinosaur destruction level’, whilst Indium makes it possible to fix pictures and data on smartphone and TV screens; Selenium is used in office photocopiers; Americium is the active Element in smoke detectors - and Thalium enables the thinning down of what used to be thick glass pebble lenses in spectacles for the badly short-sighted. At the same time we still need the substances we have long known and taken for granted, such as - above left to right - Zinc, used to make many DIY materials such as nuts and screws or (in alloy with copper) brass artefacts (cheaper than bronze, an alloy of copper and tin); Chromium (at centre) is used as a harder alternative to silver to plate tools, ornaments and cutlery more cheaply – and was very much the hallmark of the 1950s streamlining of many a flashy Cadillac or Buick; and the active incendiary metal Phosphorus has long been put to use on match-heads (these last-minute inserted images are often uncaptioned, standing outside the illustration number sequence). Even traditional materials find new uses in modern times – like Silver: light- sensitive Silver Nitrate coatings made photography possible, while recently with the gradual failure of anti-biotics, people are going back to Colloidal Silver as a disinfectant, said to be capable of reducing as much as 99.9% of the MRSA bacterium in hospital outbreaks. How do we make sense of the ordering of all these Elements in their various combinations? From the showers of molecules that exist we cannot possibly discuss them all in every combination – but with the help of other writers we at least try to categorise the main groups Ill.5- 3: Two sketches by Bentov characterising human interaction in terms of wave fields 2 As pointed out by Aldersey-Williams, when natural platinum is dissolved in aqua regia, the residue is mostly composed of two different metals: Iridium and Osmium: when Osmiroid pens became popular in the 1970s, their nibs had been hardened with these two metals – and were also used for gramophone needles. 6 ATUM TO ATOM 5: Molecules and Three-Dimensional Orchestras and types in musical order of complexity to draw up a simple beginner’s handbook. As a non- scientist I myself have found doing this book useful for gaining a heightened awareness of substances, that open up new worlds for meditation (Book 12) – or provide models for insights into how humans interact rather like molecules – it helps to see integration or non-integration of immigrants in terms of their shapes or valencies! Even a slight awareness of what goes on behind the scenes of the materials we are and use creates a kind of X-ray vision, opening doors to a deeper awareness of why materials behave the way they do and why they hang together within the scheme of things in their particular place – whether it is being more informed about the food and medicines we ingest or material objects we value in daily life – so as to work with, and not against them.
