   Physicists, chemists, does CO2 come only in one form--linear, or, are their   
   two forms triangular CO2 from fire, just as triangular as H2O

   Calcium is essential for plant growth and the bones of large wild animals is a   
   major source. But could insects fill that niche. Same could be said of iron in   
   blood, of uric acid in pee and plant nutrients in poo. But than humanity would   
   know what plants    
   need and spread the nutrients.    
      
   I remember a tv show of scientists monitoring Mtn St Helens recovering and one   
   of the key animals was moles and gophers to recover. They are not large wild   
   animals and whether digging animals plays a key part in the ecosystem—   
   something insects could    
   not fill.

   calcium based electricity and carbon based Re: Science Council Rules the World    
      
   Good, good, good, for this is going to revive old theories of mine. A long   
   time ago in the 1990s I did a series of theories about carbon and calcium,   
   even a patent application on replacing a calcium skeleton with a carbon fiber   
   human skeleton. Back in    
   the 1990s I owned a carbon fiber bicycle, and just loved it. So I had the   
   idea, that if the human skeleton were carbon fiber, how much more superior in   
   every which way-- strength, lightweight, etc. But, I was questioning whether   
   it was even possible to    
   transition from calcium based bones to carbon based bones. Was it a   
   fundamental difference between plants and animals, that plants are carbon   
   based structure and animals are calcium based structure?    
      
   Another theory of mine in the 1990s, was that animals of huge size in the   
   geological past-- huge dragonflies billions of years ago, then come the   
   dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago, all gigantic size. And I was   
   looking for an explanation,    
   thinking that the size of planet Earth was far smaller, a 1/2 the size and   
   mass it is today some billions of years ago to explain giganticism in animals.   
   Today I would not play around with the size of Earth as explanation for   
   giganticism, but rather,    
   size is a arms race of herbivores versus carnivores, so the size of the   
   elephant is such that it is untouchable by carnivores. Either grow huge or be   
   eaten. Same goes for dinosaurs, the herbivores evolved bigger so the   
   carnivores locked in a arms race in    
   size.    
      
   But in the 1990s, I was not as smart as I am today, with a theory that   
   overlays those earlier theories. First life was a Capacitor, for a capacitor   
   is the essential prime ingredient of all life. Capacitors are the quantum 1   
   which builds all the other    
   forms of life. So, calcium seems to be the prime ingredient of animals, their   
   electricity channels is calcium, as for plants, their electricity channels are   
   carbon.    
      
   And the two groups need one another-- plants are stationary and require atoms   
   and elements that mobile life can provide. Animals need plants to live and are   
   mobile. It comes down to one is carbon based capacitors using carbon for   
   electricity, and the    
   other is calcium based capacitors and calcium seems to allow mobility. Can   
   carbon based capacitors be mobile? We do not see running plants everyday soon.   
   Although in science fiction we do recall the Day of the Trefids.    
      
   Now here is a cosmological table of the abundance in the universe of life   
   bearing elements of chemistry::    
      
   --- quoting in parts Sources: Anders and Ebihara, 1982 Solar-system

    elements Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Vol. 46, pages 2363-2380.    
    The above table is the abundance compilation Anders and Grevesse,    
    1988,    
    Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.

    27 cobalt Co 2250    
    28 nickel N 4.93 x 10^4    
    29 copper Cu 522    
      
      
   Now, magnesium and calcium are very abundant, it is potassium that seems   
   rather rare.    
      
   I do not know, is copper essential to life?    
      
   Recently was a report that scientists have a suspicion that Venus has life in   
   some form of bacteria that live off sulfur. I forget the name of these life   
   forms, have to look that up again. Question, do those sulfur eating life have   
   copper atoms in them?    
   If so, then is copper the one essential element for all life and the rarest in   
   terms of abundance? Is copper the limiting element? Or is potassium the   
   limiting element.    
      
   And here we have to see how a Capacitor based on Calcium, differs from a   
   capacitor based on carbon.    
      
   Last year, last winter I performed experiments showing that carbon rods form a   
   capacitor. I need to do the same for calcium. Looking up the web, I see   
   research reports that the ear is a calcium capacitor of sorts and I see a   
   Supercapacitor made up of    
   calcium, copper oxides.    
      
   I think where this is going-- is the awareness that animals are calcium based   
   and plants are carbon based, and a planet full of life like Earth needs for   
   the plants to thrive, needs a certain amount of mobile animals to be   
   transporting and spreading    
   calcium and copper and iron and potassium.
