Just had a fascinating conversation with an engineer.  Iron is the most stable element.  Nuclear energy is created by fission and fusion.

Yeah, iron is basically the final state of fission (where bigger elements such as Uranium fracture into smaller elements) and fusion (where smaller elements smash together and fuse into bigger elements).  Was just reading about that in Welcome To The Universe by Neil Degrasse Tyson, Michael Strauss, and Richard Gott.

Nerd moment coming... why are most barns red?

 

because red is the cheapest paint.

 

why is it the cheapest paint?

 

because the main ingredient is Fe2O3 or FeO, (mostly iron... think that rust is iron (Fe) that is oxidizing (O)). And there's a lot of it because it only comes from the nuclear fusion of dying stars that got deposited billions/trillions of years ago as gasses pooled together to form Porto-earth.

Why is it cold again :(

You want the science answer or the chiropractic answer?

 

science would say a tilted axis, a chiropractor would say you're out of alignment and makes you feel cold because of decreased blood flow
