WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:11.200 The Extraordinary Features of the Atom 00:11.200 --> 00:21.060 The atom consists of a nucleus containing neutrons and protons and electrons revolving around it. 00:22.180 --> 00:27.620 The smallest components of the atom are two types of quarks and the electrons. 00:27.620 --> 00:37.380 All the matter in the universe, all odors, all tastes, all colors, hardness, softness, and everything else is created out of these three tiny components. 00:39.580 --> 00:42.860 Electrons are extraordinarily minute compared to the nucleus. 00:43.520 --> 00:48.060 An electron is just one two thousandth of the protons that make up the nucleus. 00:48.060 --> 00:58.660 If we put a dot on a piece of paper and take this as the nucleus of the atom, the electron revolving around it would be 50 meters away. 01:01.320 --> 01:06.840 If we think of the nucleus as an apple, the electron orbiting it would be 50 kilometers away. 01:07.200 --> 01:10.720 It would be impossible for a human being standing there to see the electron. 01:10.720 --> 01:19.460 No blow, impact, or explosion that could take place in this world can displace either the atom, the nucleus, or the electrons. 01:19.940 --> 01:25.380 Even when a living thing made up of atoms die, the atoms that constitute it will keep on turning. 01:25.380 --> 01:31.480 The atoms that constitute a burning tree do not burn up and cease to exist with it. 01:31.740 --> 01:36.380 They continue revolving in the air and combine with different atoms to produce new substances. 01:37.180 --> 01:40.700 The nucleus inside the atom is constantly revolving. 01:41.100 --> 01:44.780 Electrons revolve both around the nucleus and around their own axis. 01:44.780 --> 01:49.820 The quarks inside the nucleus also revolve endlessly in the same way. 01:50.180 --> 01:52.000 Each one revolves at a specific speed. 01:52.420 --> 01:55.560 They never make a mistake and never impair the order set out for them. 01:56.100 --> 02:05.620 The electron revolves both around its own axes and around the nucleus at an extraordinary speed ranging from 2,000 to 100,000 kilometers per second. 02:05.620 --> 02:13.840 Not a single electron has ever collided with another electron throughout the 15 billion years since they were first created. 02:13.840 --> 02:16.020 No such collision could ever happen. 02:16.680 --> 02:24.140 Electrons revolve around the nucleus in 7 different orbits and the number of electrons circling the nucleus may sometimes exceed 100. 02:24.660 --> 02:29.820 Electrons jump into one another's orbits and change places at a very high rate of speed. 02:30.160 --> 02:35.440 But despite their stupendous speeds and movements, they still never collide with one another. 02:35.900 --> 02:39.960 Electron exchanges between two atoms take place with a very low energy. 02:39.960 --> 02:46.920 This is a great blessing to us in terms of the continuation of life as this is one of the reasons behind the existence of everything. 02:47.300 --> 02:49.800 From the cells in our bodies to the objects we use. 02:50.360 --> 02:53.340 From the stars in the skies to the earth itself. 02:54.020 --> 03:00.980 In a single moment, there is as much electrical transmission in our brains as the number of stars in an average sized galaxy. 03:01.460 --> 03:05.080 This electrical transmission is made possible by electrons. 03:05.080 --> 03:10.420 Electrons also revolve around their own axes. 03:10.940 --> 03:12.200 This is known as spin. 03:12.560 --> 03:16.460 Were it not for that, all electrons would combine in a single orbit. 03:16.880 --> 03:20.680 No electron exchange would ever take place and matter could never form. 03:21.060 --> 03:27.800 While we think we are sitting quietly at home, the earth is revolving around its own axes at 500 meters per second. 03:28.100 --> 03:29.540 And we are revolving with it. 03:29.540 --> 03:35.820 The earth revolves around the sun at 30 kilometers per second. 03:36.240 --> 03:37.620 And we again revolve with it. 03:37.860 --> 03:42.820 The solar system revolves within the Milky Way at a speed of 250 kilometers per second. 03:43.200 --> 03:44.500 And we revolve with it. 03:44.500 --> 03:50.300 And every one of the atoms in our bodies, all around us, and where we live also constantly revolve. 03:51.740 --> 04:01.200 Everything from giant galaxies down to the tiniest quark is under the knowledge and control of Almighty Allah, Creator and Lord of all the worlds. 04:01.200 --> 04:17.380 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 04:17.980 --> 04:21.060 Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. 04:21.480 --> 04:23.220 He knows what you are engaged upon. 04:23.220 --> 04:27.840 On the day when they are returned to Him, He will inform them of what they did. 04:28.260 --> 04:30.520 Allah has knowledge of all things. 04:31.200 --> 05:01.180 Allah has knowledge of all things.
