Atomic Communications

An electron and a proton intercommunicate to become an atom of hydrogen. Electrons belong to a class of sub-atomic particles called leptons. Protons are up and down quarks fused together by the strong force created by intercommunications of gluons.

The hydrogen atom is not an electron and it is not a proton, it is the emergent intercommunication of these two sub-atomic particles when they lock together in a new relationship. The communication web of an electron and a proton has characteristics and behavior totally different from an electron or a proton. Hydrogen atoms are the most abundant element in the universe, comprising, for example, 92.1% of the sun.

Hydrogen atoms intercommunicate in stars, forced together by gravity to form pressures 340 billion times as great as Earth's air pressure at sea level. Temperatures reach 15,000,000º Celsius. In a process called fusion, hydrogen nuclei protons, collide with enough energy to overcome their repulsive forces and fuse together. This fusion creates helium. The reaction converts some of the mass into energy providing the light and warmth we receive on Earth.  700 million tons of hydrogen are converted to helium every second. Helium makes up another 7.8% of the elements in the sun.

The remaining 116  stable elements making up the residual 0.1% of the sun, are more elaborate communications of electrons and protons forced into stable relationships in the high pressures and temperatures. After hydrogen and helium, the most common elements, throughout the universe, are (in order of abundance) oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and iron.

Elements pressed into stable relationships in previous stars and released into space by explosions marking the end of the star's life, congeal to form planets, including the Earth.

Following the formation of planets, solar radiation had something to communicate with. Solar radiation struck the elements on the planet in a pulsing wave, ranging in a smooth curve from full darkness to full radiation as the planet spun on its axis. This pulsing energy source created the conditions required to arrange the most common elements of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen into living molecules.
