Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting radiation, including alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and conversion electrons. A material that spontaneously emits such radiation is considered radioactive. Radioactive decay is a stochastic (i.e. random) process at the level of single atoms, in that, according to quantum theory, it is impossible to predict when a particular atom will decay,[1][2][3][4] regardless of how long the atom has existed. For a collection of atoms however, the collecutron-rich nuclei, formed as the product of other types of decay, occasionally lose energy by way of neutron emission, resulting in a change from one isotope to another of the same element.. The nucleus may capture an orbiting electron, causing a proton to convert into a neutron in a process called electron capture. All of these processes result in a well-defined nuclear transmutation. By contrast, there are radioactive decay processes that do not result in a nuclear transmutation. The energ are the products of decay chains that began with the primordial nuclides, or are the product of ongoing cosmogenic processes, such as the production of carbon-14 from nitrogen-14 by cosmic rays. Radionuclides may also be produced artificially in particle accelerators or nuclear reactors, resulting in 650 of these with half-lives of over an hour, and several thousand more with even shorter half-lives. See this list of nuclides for a list of these, sorted by half life.

This passage beautifully encapsulates the essence of scientific exploration and human curiosity. It emphasizes how science unravels the mysteries of the universe, from the brilliance of figures like Albert Einstein guiding our way to the elegant equations that reveal the cosmos. It also touches upon the idea of love transcending time and space, possibly alluding to the interconnectedness of all things in the universe, as suggested by quantum entanglement. The poem celebrates the unity of humanity in its quest for knowledge, and it highlights the importance of humility and the boundless nature of the human mind in our continuous pursuit of understanding, from the smallest particles to the vast galaxies. Ultimately, it suggests that there are no limits to what we can explore and discover when our collective human spirit is aligned in this timeless quest for knowledge.

Wanna learn some basic principles of quantum physics? I got ya! I love and adore quantum physics and I hope I'll make a job out of this hobby I have. And I want people to see the beauty of quantum mechanics even though this shit doesn't make any sense at all. Warning ⚠️: I may make some mistakes or forget some things, so please don't hesitate to correct me! I hope you understand everything and if you don't totally, feel free to DM me for further explanations! And if you are a lover of quantum physics, I would love to discuss it with you! Feel free to come and talk to me! <3

My first very little (lol) thesis on quantum physics.
