Potassium and oxygen went out. It was OK.

So I know I'm totally behind on answering emails to some people, sorry.

What I really wanna know is: do any of you know anything about computer hacking (in theory or in practice), and maybe wanna talk to me for just a little bit about it in the context of Tony Stark and JARVIS?

Also, do any of you know anything about physics or chemistry, and maybe wanna talk to me for just a little bit about it in the context of Tony Stark inventing a new element? I know Stark inventing the element is totally bogus, but if you're gonna pretend like it can happen I at least wanna talk about it in a somewhat plausible way. Ahhhhhhh.

Even if you have no idea who Tony Stark is, but think computers or physics or chemistry or particle physics are cool, lemme know!

Thanks.

Maybe it's like Tetris: if you put the pieces together very quickly just right, they'll stay that way. Tony is more of an engineer than a physicist, really. It would be easier for him to a fast, precise stack than to create the heat and pressure conditions to chain up to a stable element. Just build it from scratch before it realizes what you're doing.

Kind of like the way he picks up women.

Yes, Tony Stark is totally the kind of person who sings video game music, in his head with company or out loud alone.

*laugh* One of these times, he's going to hijack a sound system to play it, and Natasha is going to smack him.
