Canto XIII

THESIS Dante's bleeding trees are made of real polymers. LITIn Canto XIII, souls are thorny trees that bleed and speak when broken (Pier della Vigna). Real wood is about 40–50% cellulose, 20–35% hemicellulose and 15–30% lignin (typical ranges, from memory). COMPUTEDCellulose is (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ, 162.14 g/mol per unit and 44.4% carbon. Tap a branch: it "bleeds" glucose units in a growing chain. Cross-link cremation (wood burns at about 18–20 MJ/kg, from memory). Partner: Galileo's telescope.

MNEMONIC "Six carbons, ten hydrogens, five oxygens: the voice in the thorn."
