correction
tellurium-128 has a half life of 2.2 septillion
telluriom-130 is the 790 quintillion one |

its just
wow |

"It is older than the universe."
no its not as old as the universe
it just takes much longer than the theorized age of the universe for half of it to decay |

yeah normal non isotoped tellurium is a stable element |

Ah I was hoping it would be man-made so that mankind's creation would hold itself forever and the human race would echo forever. |

dont worry qwezla im sure there are man made isotopes (can they add neutrons to an atomic nucleus im not sure?) that last a long time |

I just want to make sure the voice of the most warmongering species known to ourselves, ourselves, travels forever!
"i'm pretty sure that by adding a neutron to a nucleus you induce fission or something"
Fission is the combining of atoms, I think. They use it for nuclear power.

yeah i read some more about it
but then the atom splits apart so im not sure how you can actually create the isotope you want but i guess its just random
but i think i learned somewhere that atoms always fission the same way is that true |

it will dont worry
@qwazola
fusion is the combining of atoms
fission is the breaking apart of them into smaller atoms |

well then we will surely live on
if we use nukes and if we ever go to war with an alien species those will most lieky be used
"Oh yeah I get them confused. I named some hamsters Fusion and Fission."
i use to have hamsters
i forgot to feed them so one of them ate the other and the one that survived broke out a month later and we never found her |

Hamsters are so cool They just eat eachother for no reason And who said cannibalism was unnatural?
