I'm going to try something new. His post will be in normal text, and

Chemical and Elemental Reactions
Hello, I'm Pony Fanatic, I have a PhD in chemistry and I've studied it for years, and I've researching and experimenting theories on how to get to Equestria.
>>>He should have called this thread 'How to destroy your credibility as a scientist in one paragraph.'
My theory is that through the means of a elemental or chemical reaction a portal to Equestria can open or appear.
>>>A 'theory' is a coherent group of tested general propositions. It's not a 'theory' if you just wish it would happen. Anyone with a PhD should know this... but perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself. Go on, Pony Fanatic, give us some evidence.
My reasoning is that through my studies I've discovered chemical and elemental reactions have created anomalies, such as the nuclear bomb, the reason behind such events is the atoms and molecules of the elements or chemicals.
>>>The nuclear bomb is not a good example of an 'anomaly' because it's not an anomaly. We know how it works because we've built explosives which trigger a nuclear reaction. You said it yourself; the reason behind such reactions have to do with the way the atoms interact. Perhaps I'm reading too deeply into your post, though. After all, I don't know where you're from, and maybe some sort of language barrier is preventing you from coming across the way you desire. Okay, so, you brought up the nuclear bomb as an 'example,' I'll call it. What are you going to do with that in mind? What is your next course of action?
Because of this I have begun testing different reactions, the elements I am currently studying are Lithium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium, these elements are of interest to me due they're atomic structure and number of valence electrons. The reactions with these elements have shown promise as the reaction is explosive, my theory is that enough energy must be created at the same time in order to create the portal.
>>>...Sorry, what? The reactions which show 'promise' are explosive? So, from what I can gather, the most promising reactions are the ones which cause the largest explosions. ...No. Why? Again with the 'theory.' You do know the science you've been listening to in Dexter's Lab isn't real science, right? And that it's not a credible source of knowledge on which to base your 'theories,' right? And, no portals have ever resulted from a nuclear bomb... so how do you expect to open a portal with much lesser explosive reactions? Barring that, even if you do somehow manage to open a portal using explosives as though they can somehow tear a rift through space and time, how do you know it'll be to Equestria? How does any of this make even the slightest scintilla of sense??
The energy released by the reactions isn't nearly enough but it is enough, I've begun testing with basic acids and alkalines, however since the energy produced is not enough, I plan on moving to stronger acids and alkalines.
>>>The energy released isn't enough, but it also is enough. What? Good God, why is this person allowed to experiment with dangerous chemicals, let alone possess them? If he's not just making this up. He's going to kill himself or fill his lungs with so much toxin that he hallucinates and believes he actually went to Equestria before he actually goes to Equestria.
Current results with low level acid-
Lithium- Lights on fire for short period of time and explodes, smallest explosive energy, orange flame shows low heat energy
Rubidium- Explodes as soon as it enters acid, blast radius is around 2 feet however, low energy is released
Cesium- Lit on fire with contact with acid, had a blue flame, stayed lit for about 10 seconds then exploded with a 4 1/2 blast radius, promising result however not even close to energy required different acids may lead to larger energy release
Francium- Most promising, exploded upon contact with acid and had a blast radius of 7 feet, flames given off were blue indicating high energy release, stronger acids may let it create enough mass for the portal.
I will update my findings as I continue the experiments
>>>Nope. I'm done. Goodbye.
