[Systems Thinking] You, Like Methane
The phrase "you, like methane" could also be used to describe a person. This is because of the properties of methane. The melting point of methane is minus 183 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point is minus 162 degrees Celsius. Therefore, if it is not frozen solid in the ice, it can be considered in a gaseous state. Thus, we can say that a person like methane is always ready to float around. Methane (CH4) is formed by the combination of four hydrogen (H) atoms and one carbon (C) atom. Carbon dioxide (CO2) can also be called tetrahydrocarbon, as it is formed by the combination of two oxygen (O) atoms and one carbon atom (C). However, the combination of carbon and hydrogen is interesting. The combined strength of carbon and hydrogen is so strong that it hardly reacts with acids, bases, metals, oxidants, and reducers. There is a principle that does not turn the rubber shoe upside down, so a person like methane will not lack a companion animal for life. However, in combustion re...
