Radioactive atoms decay into more stable elements or isotopes, the time it takes for them to lose half their mass due to this phenomenon is known as half-life. As stated in the vide astatine has a half-life of 8 hours so if you make 40 g of it, in only 8 hours it will be just 20 g, then 10 g in the next 8 hours and so on until its completely gone. The lost mass isn't gone, just transformed into other more stable elements and a bit of energy (its actually a huge amount of energy for every day standards but a very tiny amount of the atom's mass is lost due to it) For comparison, uranium is also radioactive but has a half-life of 4.5 billion years.
@@flydrop8822 I thought it was more complicated than that. It just naturally decays quickly compared to everything else. That makes sense and is very interesting. Good video.
bruh I saw 800 subs and immediately thought this was gonna be AI slop. You GOTTA give those thumbnails some life. Or draw the channel icon in MS paint so people can tell its a person. The moonmoon video looks more alive, but this one's thumbnail looked straight up AI generated. Thumbnails that worked in 2020 aren't the same in 2024!!
This channel is WAY too underrated. Videos are short and straight to the point, no yapping at any point, just perfection. Keep it up
Why am i recommended videos with so little views?
I thought I was alone
Well it was seriously good quality I didn't think it'd be only 800 views untill I saw your comment
BRo. Your videos are so fire I love them keep it up you can get to 1k, 10k, 100k if you keep going like this.
Thanks so much! ‘Preciate all the support
i was expected an 8 minutes long video essay, but this is much better
This video is gonna blow up. The algo is going to make it so...
shout-out to astatine
This is very interesting. What causes Astatine to be so unstable in the first place?

@@gordonfreeman7187 no problem, im not who made the video but youre welcome
This xhannel is so underrated

Fun video, found it "Pretentiously Interesting", though I knew about it already. Gave me what I was promised.
Half life of 8 HOURS? Wth man
I like burgers
Love this video
