#Atoms
Figuring out how heavier atoms form. As Douglas Adams said, "The secret is to bang the rocks together, guys."
"Atomic nuclei accelerate to half the speed of light, smash into a target and shatter into smithereens. The collisions create some of the same rare, unstable isotopes that arise inside stars and which, through a sequence of further reactions, end up as heavy elements.
FRIB scientists have been re-creating the recipe."

#Atoms are the basic particles of the chemical elements. An atom consists of a #nucleus of protons and generally #neutrons, surrounded by an #electromagnetically bound swarm of electrons. The chemical elements are distinguished from each other by the number of pr

A quantum miracle enabled the formation of neutral atoms
The Universe first formed stable, neutral atoms just 380,000 years after the Big Bang.
If not for the miracle of quantum physics, it would've taken more than twice as long.

Some people believe in a watchmaker God who spun up at the universe and then stepped away. At what point do you think God would have been satisfied?

90% of the atoms in our bodies were forged in stars - elements like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and iron. The remaining 10% comes from the Big Bang - the universe's first moments which created the lightest elements, hydrogen and helium.
