Lie of the Day #469

February 19th, 2008 by Fweeb

Human bones are made of fire.  When the bone is exposed to air, the fire extinguishes and solidifies to bone.  Medical professionals have referred to this phenomenon as a ‘Heisenbone’, a clear allusion to Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.

    human bones are made of calcium phosphate and protein. Fire is an uncontrolled radical reaction. There are some uncontrolled radical reactions occurring within bones; therefore, bones are at least partly made of fire. Extinguished fire contains many nonflammable minerals as well such as calcium phosphate. The heisenberg uncertainty principle clearly applies to the electrons jockying around in such radical reactions.
