What is Iron?

No, it is NOT an 'ironical' question.

It is a Very Solid Question.

As SOLID...as the Hammer or the Anvil ...that fell on your feet 2 seconds ago!

Is Iron Digital?
...in today's digital age, you can't help but ask that question.

Is it mostly Empty Space?

Is Space Empty and or Relative?

Theory of relativity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How can something which is SO EMPTY....CAUSE ME SO MUCH PAIN...? ..in my foot?
...then WHAT AM I?
...then WHAT is PAIN?

Is Iron DIGITAL?
.. Is there ANYTHING in the Iron...which CANNOT be Digitized and Input into Computers?
...Is IRON....JUST.....INFORMATION?.....

Is it just information falling on information...sending information....?

Emptiness Is Form
Nothingness
Nothingness is the medium through which all energy moves,
from above to below and from below to above.

If anyone can explain 'Iron'....it would have explained the first part..."I".
After that,
we will go about explaining the 2nd part, the 'Gold/God' part......the.."G".

It's not an ironical question.

It's a stupid question.

Iron is useful....especially when alloyed with carbon.

yo quero steel

I hate ironing.

 

[Revoltingest]

A revolting (not so much this time) ode to metalurgy

All real men know the appeal,
the beauty & heft of its feel.
In crystal interstices
carbon from charring trees
transforms lowly iron to steel.

I hate ironing.

Perhaps you need a better forge, anvil, or hammer.

Wow, a stream of consiousness debate. Are the rules as fluid as the OP?

What is Iron?

An element with the atomic number of 26. Represented by the symbol Fe. The most common ellement on Earth. Produced in the fusion of high-mass stars.

Ain't science a hoot?

Most common element on Earth is oxygen, followed by silicon, aluminum & iron.
Iron is the king of metals though...it deserves to be the most common....so you win points for your honorable claim.

The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.98×10 kg. It is composed mostly of iron (32.1%), oxygen (30.1%), silicon (15.1%), magnesium (13.9%), sulfur (2.9%), nickel (1.8%), calcium (1.5%), and aluminium (1.4%); with the remaining 1.2% consisting of trace amounts of other elements. Due to mass segregation, the core region is believed to be primarily composed of iron (88.8%), with smaller amounts of nickel (5.8%), sulfur (4.5%), and less than 1% trace elements

I find that there is certain magnetism about iron.

I saw oxygen at the top of the abundancy graph in your link.
(Twas by number of atoms, rather than by total mass.)
But I laud your efforts to promote iron.

Thou shalt kneel before Iron's abundant mass!!!:bow:

Thou shalt kneel before Iron's abundant mass!!!:bow:

That I do!

Thou shalt kneel before Iron's abundant mass!!!:bow:

And keep thy corrosive Oxygen away from almighty Iron.
