It has to be the universe's most important molecule. It has to be the
molecule that makes the universe organic. It has to be the molecule that
makes humankind the human animal of all,and every where in the universe.
It is the DNA of the universe. It is the reason I give for the universe
being organic.  The seeds of the universe having intrinsic life is
inside every Buckyball is a double helix..  It is no wonder those to
guys in the UK got Nobels. They were so clever. Clever like Pauling.
Bert  PS it was this molecule that enabled the universe to see itself

Don't ignore hydrogen.  Without it nothing would exist.

Harry C Hydrogen the universe's first an most abundant atom. Right you
are Harry it was the building block of the universe.  Bert

Well, most important for life on earth, anyway...

Most of the universe is inorganic.  Carbon-based molecules cannot
survive stellar temperatures.

It is also the molecule that makes the plague, malaria, AIDS,
influenza, etc.

You would be lucky to fit a helium or neon atom inside a C60 molecule.
Even argon just won't fit. DNA is clearly too big, although you could
entangle a buckyball in DNA molecules.

Compared to you, my daughter's goldfish is clever.

Tom DNA the Double Helix would fit easily in a Buckyball if curled up.
Our Cartwheel galaxy ancestors were 500,million years furtherer advance
as life in the Milky Way galaxy.today  Get the picture?  bert

A scale representation of a C60 (buckyball) molecule INSIDE a carbon
nanotube (about the size of an uncurled DNA helix:

The buckyball is about 1 nanometer in diameter:

"The DNA chain is 22 to 26 Ångströms wide (2.2 to 2.6 nanometres)"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA#Physical_and_chemical_properties

Nature puts DNA in a package made of proteins (not buckyballs) of
which the smallest is IIRC about 20 nm diameter.

Have you been channeling L. Ron Hubbard again?

Tom When humankind's brain evolves to 500 million years he will know how
to fit his DNA molecule inside a Buckyball.  I guarantee it  Bert
