HEY GAIS. GAIS.
I KNOW HOW THE HUMAN SPECIES WILL MEET THEIR DEMISEEEEEEEE.
IGNORE THE SUN BLOWING UP AND THE ICE AGE COMING EARLY AND BLOWING OURSELVES UP WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS BIT. LETS SAY THAT IN SO-AND-SO AMOUNT OF YEARS WE'LL HAVE FIGURED OUT OURSELVES AN ARTIFICIAL SUN OR SOMETHING. IDK.
Okay, so we all know what a half-life is, right? Let's say something is decaying-a half-life will be the amount of time it takes for that subtance to decrease to half it's original mass/substance whatever.
A proton is extrememely stable. No one has ever seen a proton decay. It is estimated that a proton's half-life is 1032 years, or 100,000,000,000.000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.
We humans have so many protons in our body that if we lived long enough to be able to have the protons in our body decay, we wouldn't live past that. The sheer amount of radiation would make us drop dead on the spot.
So you know, guys, if the protons that are in our dead bodies keep getting used and reused over the years to new and new people, and we go by the laws of physics that state that new material can't be just created out of nowhere and so thusly the protons in our bodies are all dating from the creation of the universe etc. etc...
GUYS. WE'RE ALL LIVING NUCLEAR BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMBS~
