I saw a punk group called Truant Catholic Neutrons in the early '80's. I may have them confused with a choir called Truant Catholic Neuters. Just a letter or two can make such a difference. DOB >>>>DOA a lifetime's worth of difference 2) Maybe a duo-show with the famous Symbionese Liberation Army hostage and JO's SIL exchanging handslaps/claps and raps? <i> Pattycake on the Patio</i> or JO's SIL delivering the lines in a Creole dialect? <i>Patois on the Patio</i> If I get a vote, I'm thinking franchise. Sirius, Science/Church...yeah, definitely trailing edge in a good century. But they were hell on wheels for surgery on boys that could sing, no? Both y'all make me feel young + silly like Kenneth the Page. GW,

I'll take your word for the behavior on and then in 194° F. water as well as for the contrast with potassium. My idea was that if you could indefinitely keep adding neutrons to sodium, then eventually you would change the SG. Maybe if they were truant Catholic neutrons that would be different (cause you can't count on <i>them</i> for Mass). If as a thought experiment that doesn't make it for some reason, feel encouraged to school me again. Science is almost always fun + useful. Thanks, ty P.S. Fun and useful and, as I think Richard Feynman said, in effect, "...the business of finding out for sure that we're wrong about something." GW,

The number of subatomic particles per atom is not a reliable determiner of specific gravity. Witness potassium, an element similar to sodium, but with a much larger number of neutrons (et al.) and yet a lower specific gravity. In addition, you need not create some oddball sodium atom to get it to sink in water; you need only to heat the sodium to about 90°C. When you then drop it in 90° water, sure- it’ll sputter, hiss and smoke, but it will also sink. Seriously; try it!
