Experimental mineral physicist writing poetry from the core-mantle boundary. Expect lasers, crystals, and post-human metaphors.
I stitch words like drunk Frankenstein,
jargon and clichés entwine.
“They say I can’t write—imagine that!”
Luckily, rhyme saves where logic sat.

Petralona Cave, Chalkidiki, Greece.
A limestone cavern with the 700,000-year-old “Petralona skull,” traces of Neanderthals, Ice Age animals, and stalactite “fangs.” A time capsule of deep prehistory.

Deep inside the Earth, the iron core burns, hotter than molten rock.
At the core–mantle boundary, some of this heat escapes as light (photons).
As it rises, crystals in the lower mantle absorb the red glow and scatter the rest, slowing its path.
This is called radiative heat transfer.

If Bridgmanite Had a Tinder Bio

Synth-born 660 km deep — heat-forged, glitch-proof 💎⚡
Stable AF in Earth’s chaos zone 🔥
Ghosted the upper mantle like a bad algorithm 👻
Crystalline core punk with a serious laser kink 🔬
Let’s destabilize reality — one phase at a time.

Spectral Scars

Femtosecond laser hits ignite lattice kicks.
Light slams matter in THz style.
Bridgmanite’s crystal fields quake;
Electrons bolt through torn orbitals.
Iron flares red—violent, defiant.
Ripped wavelengths slit the spectrum open—
Thermal fury chained in crystal sheen.

In pulsing laser fire,
photons strike trembling lattices—
trapped in crystal fields,
iron claws out electron screams,
spins torn to spectral shards
that spill across the fractured light.

A laser strikes a crystal, exciting iron’s electrons. The spectrum fractures as some wavelengths get trapped.
