The grid is for us, it can be whatever shape we want, but our current knowledge groups elements best in the grid shape it has. (Noble gas on the edge, metals in the middle, Arranged in order of protein count, etc.).

Will there be a different way to present the data? Yes, likely, and that’s okay.

Edit: I’m not saying I know anything about his specific presentation, just that there’s no “this is how nature intended” approach to displaying it.

Edit 2: I’m leaving that typo. Phones are great for this stuff.

I get all my protein from helium. 😅

Some people get iron from their proteins, I get proteins from my iron.

(I’m leaving the typo though)
