My Physics teacher taught me about polymers. Polymer is formed from a monomer. Among the synthetic polymers are polythene and nylon. There are also natural polymers such as rubber and wool. Polymers have special qualities. They are stong and cheap to produce... well, they 'were' cheap to produce when petroleum was cheap. Then he showed me how strong a plastic is. He took a chair and threw it to the ground. It didn't break. then he said, 'Humans are also polymers.' I though to myself, 'So then, are we plastics?'
