Orthocarbonic acid a name which was inspired from the fact that the molecules appearance resembles a swastika. As chemical compounds go, it is quite exotic, and chemists are still not sure how to create it under laboratory conditions.
But it just so happens that this acid could exist in the interiors of planets like Uranus and Neptune. According to a recent study from a team of Russian chemists, the conditions inside Uranus and Neptune could be ideal for creating exotic molecular and polymeric compounds, and keeping them under stable conditions.
The study was produced by researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) and the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech). Titled Novel Stable Compounds in the C-H-O Ternary System at High Pressure, the paper describes how the high pressure environments inside planets could create compounds that exist nowhere else in the Solar System.

Professor Artem Oganov a professor at Skoltech and the head of MIPTs Computational Materials Discovery Lab is the studys lead author. Years back, he and a team of researchers developed the worlds most powerful algorithm for predicting the formation of crystal structures and chemical compounds under extreme conditions.
Known as the Universal Structure Predictor: Evolutionary Xtallography (UPSEX), scientists have since used this algorithm to predict the existence of substances that are considered impossible in classical chemistry, but which could exist where pressures and temperatures are high enough i.e. the interior of a planet.
With the help of Gabriele Saleh, a postdoc member of MIPT and the co-author of the paper, the two decided to use the algorithm to study how the carbon-hydrogen-oxygen system would behave under high pressure.

Finally, the mystery is solved of where the Nazis who went missing after World War II went to hide. The straight ones went to Neptune and the gay ones to the seventh planet.
The Indian tribes in the Southwest used the swastika as a symbol of peace. There was a brand of coal called “Swastika”. And Arizona used it on state highway markers before WW2.
Yes. It’s calle the ‘atman’’.
It’s up Uranus.
