We are made of 50% neutrons ...

Each one of us could release 1 million Tonnes of TNT explosion.

False: I am made out of stardust.

[Telstra]

Stardust is too general and doesn't mean anything.

Neutron is more specific.

How can stardust be general? It's not like I said I was made out of "matter" or "Dust" I said Star-Dust.


I don't expect someone made out of bullshit neutrons to understand, tbqh.

Thanks very much but i'm made out of slugs and snails, and puppy dogs tails.

I believe the entire universe is made of a single electron moving so fast that it's simultaneously everywhere at once.

[Serenx55]

What exactly is surprising of this...?
atom = 1 neutron + 1 electron + 1 proton
1 neutron mass = 1 electron + 1 proton.
thus our atomic mass is 50% neutron, ~49.9% Proton, .1% electron

You can also make a neutron from combining a proton and an electron in decay methodology like electron capture.

[Serenx55]

An electron caps at the speed of light. But the theory has been considered by some esoteric quantum theorists who think that every electron amounts to an entire universe.

[Serenx55]

Anyway, you can calculate the amount of energy you'd produce in a spontaneous explosion by using E=Mc^2.
So... 80kg x 3.0x10^8^2 = a pretty big boom, but alas, that's not happening.

that lisp, man. don't mean to be an asshole but everytime i hear that lisp, i hear chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop... it's not his fault. he was born that way. i feel his pain though. as a child, the letter s was my enemy. everytime i would say it, it would come out to be a f. it took a good minute for my special ed teacher to get me to pronounce it right. they didn't get me to pronounce my th-'s right though. 10 years ago, i realized that i was saying the number three wrong when one of my friends cracked on me saying tree instead of three. number tree. not to crack on people with lisps now because it's beyond their control due to the size of tounges or whatever else. i got lucky though.

One electron going at the speed of light (which is impossible, the electron having a mass), would not have enough energy to contain the universe's energy. But a single electron can effectively be anywhere, probability speaking.

'atom = 1 neutron + 1 electron + 1 proton' : that would be Deuterium (Hydrogen's isotope) and not all possible atoms.
'1 neutron mass = 1 electron + 1 proton.' Nope. The difference between a proton and a neutron in mass (and electrical charge) is due to the quarks (up up down and up down down), the up being less massive than the down. That has nothing to do with an electron.
Actually, it's the neutron that decay into a proton with the weak force. For example
n0 → p+ + e− + νe (neutrino)
The decay of proton would be in the order of a half-life of about 10e32 years, so quite unusual

hum, no. And an electron speed caps at less than the speed of light due to its mass.

That would be a total annihilation and not an explosion, and it would require the same mass of anti matter. But to produce such quantity of antimatter, you would need quite a lot of the universe energy

Oh I see, thank you I didn't know this

Can you formulate an equation for that?
