Avogadro’s Number is 6.0221415 X 1023 which is also quantified as N A. “Avogadro’s number, N A , is the fundamental physical constant that links the macroscopic physical world of objects that we can see and feel with the submicroscopic, invisible world of atoms. In theory, N A specifies the exact number of atoms in [...]

All three major fossil fuels (oil, natural gas and coal) were made over 300 million years ago (10+8) and contain elements like Carbon and Hydrogen (10-10). The world’s demand for energy may max out all the coal deposits though there are deposits around the world. The gathering and burning of coal has also been demonstrated [...]

In the Powers of Ten film, the carbon atom itself is first seen at 10-10 at the outer electron shell and at 10-14 the nucleus is seen. Today we know that inside the atom the quark and the electron are the smallest known particles at 10-18. That’s roughly like if the quark and the electron [...]
