Splitting a heavy U-235 atom, given perfect conversion to electricity, could power a 1 Watt nightlight for around 7.5x10^-13 seconds
This was just the question I wanted answered
One could say I gave you what you Watt-ed.
Yes, hello Physicists, how do I put someone else's comment in the collider?
Maybe they had trouble hitting that atom, and decided to surround with many other U-235 atom before trying the split
That's forever in Planck time
They're fighting over an atom, they're probably not that big
Life is unfair.

Since we're nitpicking the atom thing, also Solomon didn't split anything. He said cut the baby in half to see the reaction of the women to find out who the true mother was.
And even if his method wasn't actually great for establishing that, it certainly unmasked one woman as a psycho who was unfit to be in society, let alone care for a child
Yes, yes YES we know, atomic fission doesn't work that way. This isn't reddit, people in Lemmy can like, read and stuff. Everyone put the charts away unless someone raises their hand.
Lol I saw the nuke first and was like: wtf, then I read the rest of it and I lol'ed.
up and at them!
