xentripetalon The plot thickens for a hypothetical “X17” particle

I might be mistaken but from my college chemistry I believe this is referring to VSEPR theory. Where electron pairs around a nucleus will push against each other to maximize the distance between other pairs in spherical space. So two electron pairs would be separated by 180° (line) and 3 by 120° (3 lines on same plane), 4 by 120° (tetrahedron) and so on.

So if it's 140° then something else is pushing against them as it should never be 140°.

Someone more knowledgeable correct me if I'm mistaken.

I believe one came out recently, I saw it on GitHub a few days ago. It mainly did landscape and searched for similar images then combined them to form a new one. It also supported image manipulation, eg turning a brown square purse into a green rounded one. I'll see if I can find it and edit the link in.
