Chubby Checker

Everybody, twist
-- Chubby Checker/1960

By no means the first version about twisting, that's the one I grew up with. Barely. A piece in today's NYT caused me to let my fingers do the walking through the Yellow Googles. Wound up, not surprisingly, at the wiki.

Regular reader might recall my adage that exponential progress hit a wall when we humans finally filled up the periodic table and understood the Bohr Atom. From the first, I didn't take that notion at face value, because the covalent bond of organic chemistry means there's, to all intents and purposes, an infinite number of molecules in the organic side of chemistry.

Graphene, magic angle division, demonstrates that C itself is highly fungible.
