Ojas in wonderland of science Part -4

 When Ojas returned back in dream, he saw that a green colored car was waiting for him. It was driverless car running at the instructions of remotely managed messages. It was run on electricity. As Ojas got seated in the car. Car door closed in a snapshot and car sped on spiral pathway towards top of the dome.

The car stopped before a dark glass paneled building. When Ojas came out, there was a robot guard who led him to the main conference room of the school. He was asked to remove his special suit in dressing room. Now Ojas felt very comfortable. 

As he entered the hall, all robot teachers with human faces stood up and greeted Ojas. At the other end of the table, on the president’s seat, he saw a familiar face.

 Ojas could not believe his eyes. He said “ Oh! You are the inventor of periodic table. Dmitri Mendeleev  from Russia. Right?  How come you are here still?”

Mendeleev answered “ Yes. I am the same person. But remember. This is dream world.  I am visible to you only in your dream. I am president of the science elementary school.”

He welcomed Ojas and addressed the meeting.

“ Let us welcome young scientist Ojas, who has come to help us in solving our problems. As you know, we are patiently waiting for young scientists, who come in search of this school for getting new knowledge from them . But now a days we find that  most of the children go in their dream to gardens, hotels, sight seeing tours or  just play with their friends.  I myself was greatly benefited by my dream. We are glad that Ojas has come to our school with intention of searching science school.”

He instructed his assistant to give a small presentation about the school and what they teach to atoms.
It showed the famous quotation from Principles of Chemistry, the book written by Mendeleev.

"I saw in a dream, a table where all elements fell into place as required. Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper, only in one place did a correction later seem necessary."
—Mendeleev

They also explained how Mendeleev found that the chemical properties of elements are a function of their atomic weights in a periodic way just as Sanskrit scholar Panini found patterns phonological sounds with language of articulation system”

Ojas could not follow Sanskrit reference and decided to ask his grandmother about it.

Ojas found that they were knowing only first 98 elements that exist naturally and were not knowing the latest discoveries.

After the presentation,  president requested Ojas to tell about new developments in science of elements.
Ojas was ready. He asked them to access his flash drive and showed  latest chart of periodic table.





 He explained about new synthesized elements from 99 to 118 and gave information about new research on electron orbits and energy levels.

 He also informed them that the solid part of the Earth is made up of the core, the mantle and the crust  and  is primarily composed of only four elements i.e.  iron, oxygen, silicon and magnesium. These elements make up more than 90 percent of the Earth's mass. In the biosphere most important elements are Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium and Potassium.

 He suggested that if  they don’t have enough teaching resources they can concentrate on  teaching these elements instead of teaching everything to everybody. “

All members were greatly impressed. They updated their knowledge store with reference material given by Ojas.

The president Mendeleev thanked Ojas and assured him that he will update their teaching lessons by enhancing their software and  there is no need of Ojas to teach anything special. He however requested him to bring such new information whenever he visits their school.

 Ojas left the hall and expressed his wish to go back to real world.

The arrangement was done instantly and his back journey started. There were so many new questions in the mind of Ojas along the way.
 “ What is this dream world?
Who are the robots?
Who build the school?
What is there in science city?
 What are other things in this world?”
 These questions created a brain storm in his mind and as a result he woke up.
