[Paleopsych] Monoatomic Elements

[Steve Hovland]

Monoatomic elements are nothing more than elements which are chemically 
isolated, i.e. instead of 60 atoms of Carbon are 34 atoms of Silicon being 
bound together in something called a Buckministerfullerene or a knobbier 
version of the same. The significance lies in the fact that when a single 
element metal progresses from a normal metallic state to a monoatomic 
state, it passes through a series of chemically different states. These 
include:
. An alloy of numerous atoms of the same element, which exhibit all the 
characteristics normally associated with the metal: electrical 
conductivity, color, specific gravity, density, and so forth. The atom's 
intrinsic temperature might be room temperature.
. A combination of significantly fewer atoms of the same element, which no 
longer exhibit all of the characteristics normally associated with the 
metal. For example, the electrical conductivity or color might change. The 
atom's intrinsic temperature drops, for example, to 50 to 100 oK (or about 
two hundred degrees below zero oC).
. A Microcluster of far few atoms -- typically on the order of less than 
one hundred atoms, and as few as a dozen or so atoms. The metal 
characteristics begin to fall off one by one until the so-called metal is 
hardly recognized. The intrinsic temperature has now fallen to the range of 
10 to 20 oK, only slightly above Absolute Zero.
. A Monoatomic form of the element -- in which each single atom is 
chemically inert and no longer possesses normal metallic characteristics; 
and in fact, may exhibit extraordinary properties. The atom's intrinsic 
temperature is now about 1 oK, or close enough to Absolute Zero that 
Superconductivity <dward156.htm> is a virtually automatic condition.
A case in point is Gold. Normally a yellow metal with a precise electrical 
conductivity and other metallic characteristics, the metallic nature of 
gold begins to change as the individual gold atoms form chemical 
combinations of increasingly small numbers. At a microcluster stage, there 
might be 13 atoms of gold in a single combination. Then, dramatically, at 
the monoatomic state, gold becomes a forest green color, with a distinctly 
different chemistry. It's electrical conductivity goes to zero even as its 
potential for Superconductivity <dward156.htm> becomes maximized. 
Monoatomic gold can exhibit substantial variations in weight, as if it were 
no longer fully extant in space-time.
Other elements which have many of these same properties are the Precious 
Metals <dward480.htm>, which include Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Silver, 
Osmium, Iridium, Platinum, and Gold. All of these elements have to greater 
or lesser degree, the same progression as gold does in continuously 
reducing the number of atoms chemically connected. Many of these precious 
elements are found in the same ore deposits, and in their monoatomic form 
are often referred to as the White Powder of Gold <dward469.htm>.
Monoatomic elements apparently exist in nature in abundance. Precious Metal 
ores are, however, not always assayed so as to identify them as such. Gold 
miners, for example, have found what they termed "ghost gold" -- "stuff" 
that has the same chemistries as gold, but which were not yellow, did not 
exhibit normal electrical conductivity, and were not identifiable with 
ordinary emission spectroscopy. Thus they were more trouble than they were 
worth, and generally discounted.
However, in a technique called "fractional vaporization", the monoatomic 
elements can be found and clearly identified via a more advanced emission 
spectroscopy. This fact was first discussed by David Radius Hudson 
<dward467.htm>, who was attempting to separate gold and silver from raw ore 
-- but was hindered by the ghost gold which had no apparent intrinsic 
value.
The process involved placing a sample on a standard carbon electrode, 
running a second carbon electrode down to a position just above the first, 
and then striking a Direct Current arc across the electrodes. The 
electrical intensity of the arc would ionize the elements in the sample 
such that each of the elements would give off specific, identifying 
frequencies of light. By measuring the specific frequencies of light (the 
spectrum of the element or elements), one could then identify which 
elements were in the sample. Typically, such spectroscopic analysis 
involves striking the arc for 10 to 15 seconds, at the end of which, the 
carbon electrodes are effectively burned away. According to the majority of 
American spectroscopists, any sample can be ionized and read within those 
15 seconds.
In the advanced technique, the carbon electrodes are sheathed with an inert 
gas (such as Argon). This allows the emission spectroscopy process to be 
continued far beyond the typical 15 seconds, in order to fully identify all 
of the elements in their various forms.
When this was done, in the first seconds, the ghost gold might be 
identified as iron, silicon, and aluminum. But as the process continued for 
as long as 300 seconds, palladium began to be read at about 90 seconds, 
platinum at 110 seconds, ruthenium at 130 seconds, rhodium at 145 seconds, 
iridium at 190 seconds, and osmium at 220 seconds. These latter readings 
were the monoatomic elements. Commercially available grades of these metals 
were found to be including only about 15% of the emission spectroscopic 
readings.
The mining activity of what is considered the best deposit in the world for 
six of these elements (Pd, Pt, Os, Ru, Ir, and Rh) yields one-third of one 
ounce of all these precious metals per ton of ore. But this is based on the 
standard spectroscopic analysis. When the burn is continued for up to 300 
seconds, the same ores might easily yield emission lines suggesting: 6 to 8 
ounces of palladium, 12 to 13 ounces of platinum, 150 ounces of osmium, 250 
ounces of ruthenium, 600 ounces of iridium, and 1200 ounces of rhodium! 
Over 2200 ounces per ton, instead 1/3 of 1 ounce per ton! [Keep in mind 
that rhodium typically sells for $3,000/ounce, while gold sells for 
$300/ounce!]
The distinguishing characteristic between the first and second readings of 
the emission spectroscopy for the precious metals is that all of them come 
in two basic forms. The first is the traditional form of metals: yellow 
Gold, for example. The second is the very non-traditional form of the 
metal: the monoatomic state. The chemistries and physics of these two 
different states of these metals are radically different. More importantly, 
when the atoms are in the monoatomic state, things really begin to get 
interesting!
A key to understanding monoatomic elements is to recognize that the 
monoatomic state results in a rearrangement of the electronic and nuclear 
orbits within the atom itself. This is the derivation of the term: 
Orbitally-Rearranged Monoatomic Element (ORME <dward466.htm>).
A monoatomic state implies a situation where an atom is "free from the 
influence of other atoms." Is this, perhaps, a violation of some very 
basic, absolutely fundamental law of the universe -- which says that 
nothing is separate? If such a law constituted reality, then a necessary 
condition for monoatomic elements to even exist would require them to be 
superconductive, just in order to link them through all distance and time 
to other superconducting monoatomic elements. This would be necessary in 
order to prevent separation. The question is whether separation is but the 
Ultimate Illusion?
