In both of these scenarios, atoms could not exist, and therefore all the other interesting stuff that we see around us in the universe would not exist.
It's a thousand trillion trillion trillion times bigger than the number of atoms in the entire universe.
In most of the multiverse, dark energy is so strong that the universe gets torn apart, or the Higgs field is so weak that no atoms can form.
You probably know that all stuff is made up of atoms and that an atom is a really, really, really, really tiny particle.
We've had lots of very different models for atoms since Democritus in 400 BC, and there will almost certainly be many more to come.
The cores of atoms tend to stick together, but electrons are free to move, and this is why chemists love electrons.
Atoms can give up their electrons, surrendering them to other atoms, or they can share electrons.
And molecules in turn are composed of individual atoms.
On the other hand, virtually all the atoms you come in to contact with through the course of your life, the ones in the ground beneath you, the air you breath, the food you eat, those that make up every living thing, including you, have existed for billions of years and were created in places very unlike our planet.
How those atoms came about is what I want to share with you.
The gas was made up only of atoms belonging to the simplest elements.
Hydrogen atoms smash together to form helium, accompanied by a great release of energy, strong enough to counteract the shrinking force of the gravity.
First, this explosion releases so much energy that fusion goes wild forming elements with atoms even heavier than iron like silver, gold and uranium.
Think about this: with the exception of hydrogen and some helium, the ground you walk on, the air you breath, you, everything is made of atoms that were created inside stars.
In fact, there are more possible ways to arrange this simple deck of cards than there are atoms on Earth.
The atoms in glass do not pair well with any of the energy levels in visible light, so the photons pass through.
But suppose we explore a question about the physics of atoms, like what does the motion of an electron around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom look like?
But systems on the scale of atoms behave according to the laws of quantum mechanics.
Small things, like atoms or electrons though, can have wavelengths big enough to measure in physics experiments.
Bring two atoms close together, and the electrons don't need to choose just one atom but are shared between them.
Understanding how electrons are shared among atoms allows us to precisely control the properties of semiconductor materials, like silicon.
The universal phenomenon of entropy means that molecules will tend towards diffusing randomly, moving from areas of high concentration to low concentration, or even breaking apart into smaller molecules and atoms.
Quantum mechanics says that atoms carry energy, but they can't take on just any arbitrary amount.
GPS satellites rely on cesium and rubidium atoms as frequency standards.
So that's all it takes: a multibillion-dollar network of satellites, oscillating cesium atoms, quantum mechanics, relativity, a smartphone, and you.
Radiation becomes risky when it rips atoms' electrons away upon impact, a process that can damage DNA.
This led her to conclude that radiation was coming from something fundamental within the atoms of each element.
The idea was radical and helped to disprove the long-standing model of atoms as indivisible objects.
So, imagine that the building blocks are little atoms and there is a hydrogen here, a carbon here, a nitrogen here.
So in the first approximation, if I can list the number of atoms that compose a human being, I can build it.
