Finally some certainty

Submitted by Kee Hyun Kim on Mon, 10/29/2007 - 9:31am.

The fact that all living - non living organisms are created of same atoms and cannot be distinguished provided some comfort to my confused state of mind. Now that we know that living and nonliving things are composed of the same atoms, I would like to find out more about the difference of composition between living and non living things.

 

What intrigued more, however, is how all these different atoms are connected to each other. How they find their counterpart (similar to us finding that special person) that will successfully compliment whatever charge they may have (negative or positive). Also, the difference a single atom or a single connection can make was very interesting (the example of alcohol we talked about in class)
