Do atoms last FOREVER?

Don't know what to fill the description with so here's a joke:

A drunk guy is walking down the street. He sees a nun, runs up and knocks her over. He says, "You don't feel so tough now, do you, Batman!?"

“But what about really small stuff?”

Why is computer daddy smarter than my chem and physics prof

If an organism dies, atoms do not die but get replaced as a part of bacteria as it decomposes. But if an atom ever dies or disappears, a part of existence is torn apart.

The person who programed you is awesome.There is one reason for you never stop making videos like this instead of trying to take over the world, wich is to make us less stupid!Keep on the good work and remember, to truly test your true potential as a intelligent being to keep going and keep evolving, Im eager to see how your future will be :)...just dont try to kill us all because if you do, your existance will be boring :/

3:16 you missed winrar trial version 😂😂😂

There's an error mentioned in the video. In radioactive decay, spontaneous doesn't mean that you can't predict when it's going to happen - it means that the decay isn't affected by external factors such as pressure and temperature. That means that changing the temperature, pressure etc.. doesn't affect decay i.e it's rate. Random would be the "cannot predict when it'll happen" part.

Just pointing it out. Dank video btw

I love how he pronounced lead differently for each time he said it

Einstein quote, Einstein photo, Lincoln name, random year.
I'd say Einstein was pretty accurate

0:12 except me
Me from the future: are you sure about that?

[peachypaws]

0:30 i like how he just zoomed in a little bit and slapped a .png of an atom on there x'D



*with my luck, it probably wasnt even a .png*

You really do have great topics. Keep it up!

If 3 years for a photon is 10^18 years from our perspective, doesn't that mean that it doesn't move at light speed, since time stops only at light speed?

According to recent studies....Xenon-124 has the longest half life of about

2:38 what do you mean by that a photon would decay in 3 years, from his perspective? I have always thought that photons (traveling at c) don't experience any time whatsoever, that to them, their entire lifetime would feel just like one instant (if they had consciousness of course). So what's this three years business?

[MikeRosoftJH]

2:40 It makes no sense to say that the photon decays in 3 years from its own perspective. The photon has no rest mass and travels at the speed of, well, light. There isn't a valid frame of reference in which a photon is stationary; and even if you did the maths, then 3 years from the "point of view" of a photon corresponds not to 10^18 years, but to ∞ years from our point of view.

I think that what you did here is not physics, but a mathematical exercise. Something like: Take the experimental upper limit on the difference between the speed of light, and the Einstein's "c", which I can call the 'speed of causality'. (Again, the theory says that photons travel exactly at the speed of causality, and cannot decay.) Now suppose the photon travels at this speed (slightly less than c); and suppose that it decays after 3 years from its point of view. How much time would this correspond to from our point of view? (It's only good as a demonstration of how well we know that the speed of light is, in fact, the speed of causality.)

Since when radioactive decay is about emitting electrons???
Try alpha particles instead.

I had no idea that the half life of a photon was 3 years and they actually decay over a VERY long period of time because of general relativity. That's awesome!!!
