    Molecule
I found this information on Google Images. The structure seems to be a molecule called 2,4-dimethyl-3-isopropylpentane. I'm not sure if all of the dots are carbon, but it might work.f

How did you find PF?: Google search

Hello everyone. my name is Gary, I'm a British Journalist working for a Mexican TV news station. We are reporting on the appearance of a large crop circle that's been made in the UK today, which resembles some kind of chemical molecule. I've attached a picture. If anyone recognises it's structure and could let me know, i'd be greatly obliged.

2,4-dimethyl-3-isopropylpentane, would work, if the dots are all carbons? I'm sure there are probably other molecules with the same structure...

Triaminoamine would fit as well.

PS: and trinitramide (that would even have the planar structure)

Why a chemical? Looks like a mapping of a tree heirarchy or logic map. Triaminoamine doesn’t exist. Guanidine does exist.

Perhaps its what they really look like...lets not alienate them.

Triaminoamine doesn’t exist. Guanidine does exist.

But guanidine lacks an atom. Do you mean the guanidinium ion?

Welcome to PhysicsForums, Gary. Interesting juxtaposition of counties...

Anyway, Google Images : Search By Image turns up lots of similar nonsense, so it's just another example of folks messing with you, IMO. Have a nice day.

Some of these are really impressive. There should be a contest.

Maybe @ZapperZ should have a photo contest thread for crop circle photos from members who have stomped them out themselves...

People do these things to impress others and make something better than previous ones, to me that sounds like a contest, just an informal one.

Thank you.
