What a Magnesium Atom Taught a World-Class Chemist
James Tour, a professor of chemistry, computer science, and nanotechnology and the author of countless scientific papers, once shared a quiet but powerful insight. As he looks at something as ordinary as a leaf, he sees far more than green and veins. He is aware of the magnesium atom sitting at the core of a molecular ring, the flash of light that dislodges an electron, and the cascading reactions that begin the process of photosynthesis.
He knows that most people pass by without awareness of any of this hidden activity. Yet that deeper knowledge does not drain the moment of meaning. Instead, it intensifies his sense of God’s nearness. Understanding the science, for him, does not replace wonder—it multiplies it.
A gentle invitation to stop, look, and reflect.
