Today I’m proud to announce that my preprint “ The Theory of Supramolecular Motion, the Primary Structure of Lignin and its Application to Adhesives ” to ChemRxiv was accepted! Here’s the link ! Normally this wouldn’t be that big of a thing. Preprints aren’t peer-reviewed, so they don’t go through the same kind of scrutiny as journal articles. However, I know from my past history that ChemRxiv does screen preprints for content not following their guidelines. And for chemist

Yesterday was the day. Over two years since I last submitted the previous preprint, I finally found the courage to submit my manuscript for the Quantum Gravity interpretation of supramolecular to a preprint server. First I considered arXiv, but decided against it because submitting there requires a recommendation from someone who has done it already (and I don't know any such person). I also consider bioRxiv, but decided against it as well, once I realized that my article did

In today’s post I’m showing all of my calculations and most of the measurement data for my Quantum Gravity manuscript. The calculations showing the curvature of space-time due to steric constraints . Actually, the closest term in the literature is Van der Waals strain , or: strain resulting from Van der Waals repulsion when two substituents in a molecule approach each other with a distance less than the sum of their Van der Waals radii . This isn’t exactly the same t

In my last post I promised to very soon present the version of the manuscript on Quantum Gravity and Lignin Adhesive that I would be submitting to Nature . Today is the day that I do this. To some extent I had expected that it would take longer, but as I read the publishing guidelines by Nature , it became clear that even though I had to make some changes, these changes weren’t extremely laborious. The main text needed to be separate from the figures, as the layout of the

Do you know what the most frustrating phrase in science is? It’s “It needs more data”. As in “I acknowledge that you state that you are observing a pattern emerging from your data, but I think there’s a good likelihood that you’re just attributing meaning to random noise”. The reason why this phrase is frustrating is because the phrase is both kind of right and kind of wrong. Very often in science, the first signs of a fundamental discovery are vague. You observe an anomal

I’m in the (hopefully) last stages of submitting my manuscript on the Theory of Quantum Gravity and Lignin Adhesives and while I’m polishing the paper to fit all of the criteria for Nature , I’m also feeling quite nervous of the streetlight effect . I might have mentioned the streetlight effect in at least one previous post. According to Wikipedia, the story goes like this: A policeman sees a drunk man searching for something under a streetlight and asks what the drunk has

In today’s post on my ongoing polishing of my manuscript on the Theory of Quantum Gravity and Lignin Adhesives I present the ready manuscript! Well, the sort of ready manuscript. I’ve been polishing the text to the point where I’m finally at a point where the major changes are the descriptions of experiments by my coauthors. So, this is what I’ve just done. Sent the manuscript and the supplementary information to them for their input. I’m not assuming that they would cont
