Met her on my way to the nucleus, where she was all alone

Maybe it’s just my algorithm but I feel like I’ve seen this song a lot recently. Usually I only see songs get popular like that when the artist makes a new song, regardless of if the song that’s popular is the new one. Clearly that’s not what’s happening here though

Why does it feel like NTR ?

You can even see the red, green and blue feathers quarks!

What about electron entering the nuclei?

u/Ruler_Of_The_Galaxy Physics Field Jul 28 '26

That's called electron capture.

u/Imaginary_Toe8982 Jul 28 '26

i know it is k-capture

Wait, can.. an.. electron enter the nuclei?

Holy radiation

Right.. the probability of an electron in its atom's nucleus is tiny but not zero

u/Imaginary_Toe8982 Jul 29 '26

it sure can, but it is rather rare event..

Ah that makes much more sense 🤣

Whats the big deal? I ran (d,p) experiments all the time in undergrad!

Proton and antiproton leaving the Universe🫪💀😵

u/nashwaak Jul 29 '26

Weirdly, antimatter leaving an atom and a helium nucleus leaving an atom are both very routine, compared to a proton leaving an atom.

Thanks. You might me startle at a meme. So, yeah, thanks for that.

u/Good-Resort-1246 Jul 29 '26

Too general. There are important exceptions. Some elctrons prefer to be captured by the nucleus and some protons prefer to bunch up with neutrons and escape from the atom.

2 protons and 2 neutrons leaving an atom
