Yes, I see your point. What about a spice mix that comes in a jar with lots of water or oil? Even then maybe to minor a reaction to measure by taste. Still it would be fun to be able to measure any reaction however possible. Or maybe a sauce could react with a chicken dish when poured on. Or...

So interesting. I might quibble with some of their conclusions. While I was a commercial spice blender I noticed that almost all cultures liked certain spices. Chile peppers everywhere. Cumin near universal use. Flavor like garlic are widely popular. Of course, books have been written about...

I consulted for twenty years on day to day contracts. Troubled companies. I know al the jokes. I had a thought: can spices be categorized like acids and bases excetra? Would that be useful in understanding any possible reactions? I know vinegar affects chili pepper; I think it stabilizes the...

Consultant; rhymes with Temp worker. Glad no one was injured. Makes mixing spices for a decade seem quite safe. Who knew in high school the science nerds were such dare devils.

Just so you know, I had not thought of my examples until after I read your post. You are a catalyst with measurable results!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. Reading along I thought about yeast and flour or vinegar and baking soda or heat and baking powder. I am wondering if there is always a reaction but in only a few cases do we actually perceive the activity or taste the difference. What fun! Thank...

Thank you for your well intentioned invitation. However, I do not believe we would find common ground. You will explain with reference to dogma; I will ask for scientific (empirical) examples. We may both be intractable on this subject and unless one of our perceptions alters; perhaps we...

Perhaps we have, in our keen interest, lost sight of basic scientific principles. Please, what is ment by a "living" god? If there is only one, why does it need to be male? Any testable non metaphysical hypothesis would be greatly appreciated.

Which god? How do you know it created time? Did it not "need" time for man? Please clarify.

No where did I say you used the word "modern". Ethos may influence and be your truth but at a science forum it might be mistaken for pathos.

There are no modern Sumerians.

Lack of knowledge is the first step to knowledge.

Beyond comprehension, no shape or matter and no existence; it just IS NOT.

At the quantum level electrons spin and magatism exists in matter but not at a useful strength to do much work.
