nemafakei Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 I'm working on a solution to this; I'd be grateful for any help anyone (esp biochemists and similar) can offer.I think the following are true:Wormsign is N-fixing - that is, static is created by moving around, therefore creating lightning, oxidising Nitrogen in the air to nitrites in the worm, which are then converted to nitrates and proteins - the esential process that These proteins and enzymes can then be used by sandtrout, to use the water and CO2 (created by respiration, raw materials unknown - alkenes?)I'm not convinced that the Arrakeen lifecycle uses glucose; I'm also considering other substances, primarily hydrocarbons and similar, but I don't have the technical knowledge in this field to be sure of anything.Please excure lack of subscripts here.

Caid Ivik Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 So, spice is a drug created by various mixed plants ::) . But what science is behind it, I don't know. Fernao Maglhaes lost his life for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caid Ivik Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 You don't know him? Portuguese marine traveler, whose ships made first trip around the Earth in 16th century. He haven't found water of life... but enraged some muslims on Molokai and found a javelin in his chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dczx Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 I think that the two structures at the top of the melange molecule are there for taste. They are either sucrose or some kind of sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardauker-Kirov Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Maybe it is a plant that is capable of surviving the hot air and the cruel sun, who knows....But it could be a nickname of the substance. I just think it's a bit strange how spice can create things, like clothes, weapons etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
