Well, we'll just have to figure out some new rules.

Hmm. Put this in the sonofusion category, as in ; We don't know everything we thought we knew. There're a lot of interesting things going on in that area right now.

At 8,000 degrees was it still a molecule? Shouldn't it be in a plasma by then?, or in some other sort of altered state?

That settles it then. Chemical Theory has been disproven, and should not be the only theory taught in schools...

"If you give it enough spin, it pushes all the guys around it away, and it builds itself a little bubble,"

Hey, I do that too!

A small, peanut-shaped molecule that drives away everything around it?

It's the Jimmy Carter Molecule!

Sounds like a undocumented Mexican going to work in the midst of a bunch of overtaxed, overregulated and lazy Americans.

I didn't believe them until I moseyed over there and counted em myself.

Scientists have found a molecule that can spin freely in liquid, clearing out water like a person swinging suitcases would clear a crowded room

It's been done.

Yeah, but after a measely 10 trillionths of a second it was all tuckered out!

Seems to me that if this molecule was 8000 degrees any water immediately adjacent to it would have been heated to a gas thereby allowing the molecule to act as it would be expected to in a gas environment. Though it was submerged in liquid water, I have yet to hear of water that stays liquid at anything below 100C (at sea level of course).
