On a completely different topic, I think it was on JetPunk that I read that Indonesia failed to change their capital city that was supposed to happen last year.
But it’s weird because on the French part of the web, I find nearly no information about this ; in fact the majority of what I’ve found are articles that were published before it was supposed to happen. But hardly nothing to confirm or not it did happen.
Has anyone any link in French or English (I’m not very good at writing but reading in English should not be a problem)?
The expected change just never happened and no one cared. For a couple days, English-language Wikipedia reported that the capital of Indonesia had changed. No one even bothered to check.
For the boxer you either know or you don't (and if you're not USian or a fan of boxing you're less likely to know about it), and for the Sun it is most likely due to the (understandable) confusion between fusion and fission (which is reflected in the percentages).
mad about matterhorn
fusion is when things fuse together, become confused into one. So it happens with small atoms like hydrogen, to form bigger atoms.
fission is when things get a fissure and split apart into two things. So it happens with big atoms like uranium, to form smaller atoms.
It's easy to get stable small atoms, so the byproducts of fission tend to be pretty safe. It's hard to get stable big atoms, so the byproducts of fission tend to be big ugly radioactive messes.
Small atoms are super common: hydrogen (1 proton, usually no neutrons) is 90% of known matter in the universe, helium (2 protons, usually 2 neutrons) is 9%. Big atoms are hard to make and often won't stick around, so they're pretty rare. So it stands to reason that stars do the one that uses small atoms.
