I dreamed of you last night.

I was trapped in an alpine village with a storm coming.

When the darkness came people ran screaming into buildings.

Things came out of the dark.

There was something with the body of rotting treestump with ropey tendrils.

Tall spindly things that mewled.

I woke up, went back to sleep and the dream resumed.

I'm prone to vivid dreams.

Having studied chemistry at nightschool let me give you a lesson, you scamp.

Ions can be + or -

A find that a cat is a very positive animal.

A + ion is called a CATion

A - ion is called a ANion

Atoms are NEUTRAL because there is an EQUAL number of protons (+) and electrons (-).
ie they balance.

If an atom loses an electron it has more protons than electrons, so it becomes a POSITIVELY charged ion.

CATion.

If an atom gains an electron it has more electrons than protons, so it becomes a NEGATIVELY charged ion.

ANion.

Atoms are composed of:

Protons;
Neutrons;
Electrons.

Protons and Neutrons are IN the centre.
Electrons are like clouds AROUND the centre.

ATOMS - the number of protons and electrons is EQUAL.

IONS - the number of protons and electrons is NOT EQUAL.

Simply, if you pick off an electron - the atom is no longer balanced.

@ Albie

"Mmm, just checked and ions do come in positive.

Mental note: Don't use Philip K Dick as a source for physics." 12.16PM

Why search about ions before I mentioned they weren't only negative?
And why give the repy on a different thread to this one (the alternate universes thread)?

It's all out of sequence, agh!

This is frightening. I've just been reading in that Gene Wolfe story I mentioned on another thread that scientists (in the story) are starting to believe that there are only one neutron, proton and electron each in existence and that they have been bounding back and forward in time creating everything, everyone. Why would this pop up now, the day after I read it? If we are they and they are us it would figure that we talk to ourselves, that the universe hears us and answers.
Anyone else freaked out by this?

Twice this week me and my wife talked about funerals where the priest talks bullshit about the person they are burying. We said 'wouldn't it be great if someone got up and spoke out about that sort of thing?'
The very next night we put on an episode of Peep Show to watch, the next we are due to see from the first series. In it a guy gets up and talks about the bullshit the person doing the sermon is talking.
If these protons etc are buzzing about through time, carrying memories with them, wouldn't deja vu and coincidence make absolute sense?

So nothing to do with my post about them being positive.

And your response "DICK LIED TO ME!!!!"

Wasn't because you'd checked up about ions in response to my statement about ions.

You'd already searched for it prior to this?

Just page search "Chemistry".
There are a few posts on it.

Not that I'm an anarchist. I can't bear the faux anger of punk.

I KNEW IT! You've been stalking me.

I saw my cousin come use the lift in the elevator and figured he might be using the computers, so I spent some time waiting for him to come down so I could come up.

I read some Steve Aylett and thought of some stories to write. Un-stories, more like.

A delightful wave of unreality came over me, as well. But it only lasted a second or two.

Your cousin used a lift inside an elevator? A lift within a lift? Is it a tiny one, worked by tiny cogs and levers?

What a frightening image: a tiny man using a miniscule lift inside a normal-sized lift. Just for laughs.
