Very nicely done BB!
I think the joke of the original pic is carried well for the layman in only 4 "elements"; we nerds, however would love a periodic table BB just described! I know I would!
It could even be used to mock the religious dolts that come knocking at your door to convert you.

Also I'm a firm believer that there is in fact a single element everything is made of. Like how all the modern elements are actually made of protons and electrons yet have very varying abilities.
Why wouldn't the same concept be true if you keep scaling down infinitely?

Also, the above statement is my dude in a bar persona, not my scientist persona :lol:

Well, "element" refers to the differences depending on the different # of protons in the nucleus. So you can't say everything is one element - you could say all subatomic particles might be made of the same type of material, but physics puts paid to that; too...

What's with you and your constantly railing on subatomic particles? I mean, the Wave Particle Dueling Paradox-thing basically proves something like how neither particles or waves are actually real, anyway. Besides, Quarks are way smaller than subatomic particles and they're always happy, see?

Well, we would need proof, but the wave - particle duality is probably just another proof of e=mc^2

Its proof of witchcraft.

I figure it just shows that as much as scientists claim to know they really don't know as much as they think.

The larger the island of knowledge the greater the shoreline of mystery.

I don't claim to know a whole lot myself. I just have found that when I do action #1 --> result #1 follows. Still not sure, exactly, on why but I know it happens. What are those things anyways? They a varmint that needs exterminating or a pet?
