Hi,
I am new to this list and thought I would send an introductory post.

Carbon, (the element upon which all organic life is based)
has 6 electrons, 6 neutrons, and 6 protons.

Imagine trying to explain this to someone, 2000+/- years ago.
How would the recipeint have recorded this information using words and concepts that he understood? What would that record look like after thousands of years and a few translations?
