    i thought i would wait a while before posting about this because others have interesting views as well .
    when i look at carbon there are a few things that strike me as interesting right off it is black by whatever means but can be transparent as well soot is an example as is a diamond it can be a very high energy conductor and a resistor as well and have seen it in dielectric form as well in early super-caps.
    of all the elements it is the fastest conductor of heat better even than silver.
    when carbon is in a long chain molecule it can burn or react with oxygen several times creating many compounds before ending the process.
    nitrogen which is 80% of our atmosphere absorbs heat energy 40 times more than oxygen.
    this would lead me to think that there is an energy transfer occurring between these three elements which is possibly displaced by there buoyancy effect limiting there energy transfer.

      Great points about Carbon. Carbon has an atomic number of 6, and I think that all of these
      interesting properties of carbon must be somehow related to that number. I highly believe there
      is a reason we call being, "existence" because it was "hexistence". There are so many
      mysteries associated with number six, Take a bee hive for example, or the crystals of Water?
      Snow? all form this pattern, the hexagon is a perfect and beautiful pattern for tiling. It is the the
      most efficient tiling whatsoever. Even If you stick circles together they stick like hexagons:

      Humility, an important property for a COP>1 system.

        Much like this scanning tunneling microscope picture of gold.
