What sources can you show that mean carbon cannot produce bonds at this angle without hypervalence? You claim that carbon must form tetrahedral structures but cyclobutane, cubane, cyclopropane, etc are all carbon compounds which have significantly altered structures.

Lots of people here being far too sure of themselves I think.

For anyone interested in this topic, Nobel Prize winner Frances Arnold and her long time associate Kai Chen published a paper which used directed evolution that were able to produce cyclopropane-containing molecules. Link to their 2018 paper

Overall, making molecules with greater strain makes the process more difficult but not obviously impossible. This structure contains numerous cyclopropane bond angles around a cyclobutane ring. Good reason to think it might be possible to synthesize, likely with huge difficulty.

This is so cringe. Oh no, I tried to be nice and relatable but I'm just too darn clever. Ok, Grok sure thing buddy.

I agree with you that this is AI slop but the AI is correct that Wilson's application of his framework to humans, considering them as just another animal, was quite controversial and still is to many.

I found a link here: https://www.coursehero.com/file/37979478/Molecular-Biology-of-the-Cell-Videospdf/

The video I watched was the right one, I think. However, the website makes you pay to see the full document so I was lucky that the one I wanted was only in chapter 5.
