3/12/10 X-Ray, more carbon, phosphorus, & mental shutdown

What you see before you is an actual x-ray of the human body.
That is the exact image she was referring to and displaying via the projector.

The pollutants are used for cellular respiration.
Sweet, I want some!

If you are exposed to nuclear radiation, mutations may be passed on for generations by bio-accumulation.
In what way is that bio-accumulation?

Some of you have, wait, most of you, some, most of you have parts of carbon in you.
Oh?

People used to have more carbon in their bodies.
Student: That makes no sense.
Excuse me!
Student: You're saying that people had more carbon atoms in their bodies?
Yes, because, carbon is an element, and it has a half life.
Not this crap again!

If you are a parent with 4 carbon molecules, and they have 6 protons, when you progenerate, your children will have less, because of carbon decay, so they will have less, thus it has been factually proven that humans once had more carbon.
WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? So she is saying that people have 4 carbon molecules, and that they will pass on less PROTONS via carbon decay.

Carbon is cycled, so sometimes it will be in the body and the ground, you will lose some. (in response to a student asking how humans have less carbon if it's cycled)
SCIENCE!

Flammable ("flah-mobble") becomes, it, the, eh, deh, the useful, for, uh, petroleum.
I was unaware that flammable was a chemical, and it appears that someone's brain shut down mid-speak.

There's something called white phosphorus, well, technically its red, and it's in matches. (She just found a picture of a red match in her Word document).
There are white doves, but, you know, technically they're red.

2/9/10 Carbon Genes & 6ft Lab Tables

Humans used to have 20% more carbon in their bodies.
Cory: What do you mean, like the element carbon?
Yes.
Cory: You're saying they had more atoms of carbon in their bodies?
Yes, because carbon is an element with a half life.
*pulls down periodic table & points to carbon*
Cory: Yeah, but you don't get your carbon from your parents.
But you get your genes from your parents!
Cory: Nevermind.

In college my professor had us stare at a burning candle. There are actually 132 ways to describe a burning candle.
As a burning candle is a dynamically changing object, there are an infinite number of ways to describe it.

The lab table is two meters high.
Two meters is around six and a half feet.

A hypothesis is not a guess. (repeated atleast 5x within a 1 minute period) A hypothesis is an educated guess, it is a guess.
