Just my thoughts #0337

All matter in this world, including the human body, is composed of quantum particles. Even if we shake hands, we might think that our elements mix, but they do not. This is because the physical properties of quantum—the special forces generated in the quantum realm—remain unchanged. To endure difficult circumstances means maintaining your state with strength. If you have stood firm so far, it indicates you possess the power. Holding up is a form of ability. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0197

The reason pencils can be writing instruments is due to pencil lead. The material used for pencil lead is graphite. The graphite element is carbon (C), and four carbon atoms are combined. One carbon atom can have four bonds and can combine with another element. Diamond is similar to graphite, with four carbon atoms. However, diamonds have four carbon bonds that create a strong covalent bond with other carbon atoms, while graphite has only one weak bond. We can write or draw with a pencil because of this loose combination. When you apply pressure to the pencil with your finger, this weak bond in graphite breaks, leaving some of the crystals damaged. Don’t view it merely as a pencil; it’s a diamond’s cousin. The degree of consanguinity is very, very close. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
