@man_ia_c: What if every atom lost a proton for 5 seconds? Oxygen turns into nitrogen, so every fire on Earth goes out. Hydrogen stops existing, so every drop of water becomes gas: the watermelon, the grass and the trees burst into white powder. Then the nitrogen in the air becomes carbon and it snows black, 1,480 lb over every square foot. When the protons come back, all of it turns back into air at once. 1941: Harvard turned mercury into gold by knocking out a proton. Which element next? 👇 #whatif #pov #simulation #Science #physics
