Becoming a Crystallographer

This is the blog of a future crystallographer, not that crystallography is the main area of discussion. I'll maybe mention it once in a while, while writing about my life and other things.

Free energy of salvation

I'm trying to write an essay about supramolecular selectivity of cations binding to macrocycles. One of the factors governing the selectivity of these hosts and guest is their solubility characteristics. With a small spelling mistake it has nothing to do with the solubility but everything to do with the molecules' chances for salvation. Now what is the free energy of salvation? The amount of energy released when someone/something is saved? I think maybe some believers in combining faith and science have already used this concept in their sermons. It maybe has something to do with no energy disappearing. Maybe one could combine this with charges, saying that heaven has a positive charge and hell a minus charge or conversely the other way around since hell is loads hotter. And then the people have charges as well. Maybe it's the same principle as with positive cations going to a negative cathode. Or I can never remember how that one goes. I do like how the free energy of salvation sounds like. Obviously, from google searches, people have made this mistake before but it did not turn up in any religious context.

Anyways. I've not had lunch today since the cabbage casserole thing they had just was really uninviting and paying for something I could and would not eat did not seem worthwhile. I think I've got a sugar-high from all the candy I've been eating instead.
