I don’t care what anyone says there ain’t no such thing as a one dimensional chain of anything.Theoretical physicists and their mental masturbatory dreams be damned.

Not literally one dimensional but about the closest thing possible in the physical world.

there ain’t no such thing as a one dimensional chain of anything.

Henry Kroto, winner of the noble prize for the discovery of fullerenes writes: "common (chemical) sense suggests that any attempt to condense a pure linear sp -carbon chain into a solid will result in an explosion as the chains, if they get close, will crosslink exothermically."

The claim is based upon a computer calculation, not a measurement of the properties of a real material synthesized in the laboratory.
