"A Atomic Travel"
When I was a child, I read a picture book called "A Bean's Travel", which tells the process of a bean traveling in the human body. The picture book draws the route from eating to being discharged, so that we can understand the human digestive system.
When I first saw the title of "Travel of an Atom", I thought it was also such a book, which talked about various changes in an atom. I also imagined the changes in carbon atom . I mobilized all my knowledge reserves about carbon atoms, and thought of carbon dioxide , calcium carbonate, life, glucose and the nucleic acids we often test today. I expected the cycle of carbon between life, and I even thought of the cycle of carbon between inanimate and life, so I confidently waited for this book to verify my guess.
I guessed the loop, but I didn't expect that the process of this loop would be so long, and the conversion would actually be one after another, from more than 10 billion years ago to today. This huge structure shocked me, and I instantly understood the explosion of John Barnett, the author who refused even school education back then, saw the explosion during this trip in the book "The Periodic Table of Elements". When you find that your body, your thoughts, your brain can actually connect with an atom more than 10 billion years ago, how could you be indifferent?
At least, the carbon atom DNA in your mind will also tremble, and the feeling of finding the tissue will arise naturally.
tribute to three people on the tribute page. One is the that directly inspired the book. It is his material of pure science, giving humanistic colors, and refining the time and space of the world, universal connection . He placed carbon atoms at the end of his book "The Periodic Table of Elements". This is not the end, but the "Zhen" of "Yuan Henry Zhen", which is the beginning of another cycle. In this sense, the travel of carbon atoms is similar to the " Yijing " of my country's philosophical system, and the same end result is.
Because the travel of carbon atoms has been immersed in the author's life, we can see him looking at the world through chemical methods. His tribute to his wife is the romance of science students and the victory of carbon atoms: "I also have to thank Isolde, my best friend, wife, and teacher, who allowed my chemical molecules to be constructed again." When he said this, if Amy from "The Big Bang Theory" scans his cerebral cortex, he will definitely see that a certain area is shining and the romance of scientists is really enviable.
Another person the author thanked was his mother because his mother taught him to draw, and he used a brush to outline the shock of carbon atoms for us.
"A Atom's Travel", the whole book is made of black and white drawings drawn with carbon strokes. The author's paintings are very atmospheric, with large pieces of black or white as the background, and then a large number of dense contrasting lines draw explosive light, nebula system, calcium carbonate tower, algae, limestone, etc. There is no text on many pages, but it is composed of large color blocks and lines, allowing people to experience the world's ever-changing changes through the inheritance of carbon atoms in this wordless page with strong contrasting black and white.
