Comments welcome ~ thanks for visiting ~ Love BRIAN XOX
These Five Fabulous Females are taken from a voted UK list
of the Twenty Top ladies in History. the number in brackets
shows their place in the list ! The list included, inter alia,
Margaret Thatcher ~ Queen Victoria and Mother Theresa.
I am thrilled MARIE CURIE was Numero Uno and that the
list included ROSALIND FRANKLIN a Jewish Crystallographer
who sadly died before she received her NOBEL PRIZE along
CRICK & WATSON for the elucidation of DNA. Read the book
"The Double Helix" to find out more about her. I am also
pleased the list included THE VIRGIN MARY (12) probably
the most important Lady in Human History and still a key
Figure in th Christian Church today. Yours BRIAN & ANGELA.

Angela was in the list - sharing first place?! heehee. A fine write Brian.
I got reading on something. It mentioned the 'second law of thermodynamics' somehow. What's the first law? It was not even a book on chemistry.
Ohh ignorance is bliss to me, with regards to chemistry. Should it be bliss?
HI STEVE ~ The First Law states ~ You can never WIN you can only break EVEN. The Second Law states ~ You can only break EVEN at Absolute Zero MINUS 273 C. That why Las Vegas makes so much money because it never drops below ZERO C. It also explains why Chemists ( like ANDY & I ) never GAMBLE. Pleased you liked the POEM & SONG and the picture of DIANA as the "Girl next Door ! Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian. Will anyone discover minus 274C and beyond? A tad chilly there! heehee.
NO STEVE ~ THAT IS WHAT WE CALL ABSOLUTE ZERO ~ YOU CAN'T GET COLDER THAN THAT BECAUSE ALL THE THERMAL ENERGY HAS BEEN ABSTRACTED. ! Every thing becomes SOLID no liquids or gases ~ Even HYDROGEN & HELIUM FREEZES ! So of course no life could surviveUpper Tempearatures have no limits ~ Thousands of Degrees. The ambient temperature o Planet Earth is now 16C it has risen by 1C due to global warming. If it rises any more 17 18 19 20 it would be catastrophic and much of the Planet would be uninhabitable. Sea levels would also rise due to irreversible melting of the ice caps. We call GLOBAL WARMING (due to a doubling of the CO2 level from 250 ppm to 450+ ppm) an ANTHROPOGENIC (MAN MADE) EFFECT ~ so in theory it could be reversed IN THEORY ~BUT with nonGREENS like Trump as PRESIDENT of the USA I don't think it will.
Hope this helps ~ Yours PROFESSOR BRIAN ! Anyone who expects to die before 2050 (I will only be 67 !) should be OK. Thinks will get steadily worse towards 2100 (I'll be 117) when the EARTHS ENVIRONMENT WILL be much worse than it is TODAY ! ~ BRIAN !
Thanks Professor Brian. Well, I survived the Ice Age, as I'm millions of years old! It felt like -273C then!
Oohh, anthropogenic. * Adds that to my store of long words*. But seriously, it's true, even if we may not understand it all, and are not all chemists!
