i woke up and knew the answer to everything i've wondered about life, myself, the universe is oxidation was my revelation more helpful than 42? the answer lies in oxidation....

  • basic def: releasing an electron, which makes you receptible to bond with new elements [combustion, rusting, alcohol formation]
  • biology: photosynthetic cycle of using stored energy and creating new energy stores [imbalances result in sleep apnea, shock, infected bloodstream]
  • ceramics: a type of firing, not clouded by smoke, that brings out the glazes natural coloring in a clean, carefully controlled manner.

periodic element 42, molybenum, oxidizes at high temperatures and is often found in electrically heated glass furnaces
