1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,640
The glorious structure of the atom.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,220
From within the depths of matter, a tiny speck with an extraordinary structure and glorious equilibrium emerges.

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,260
The atom.

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,840
This tiny speck is the building block of everything in the universe.

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,060
From giant stars to the proteins inside the cell.

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,600
Everything in the universe, without exception, is made up of atoms.

7
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:24,680
The atom has three basic parts.

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,020
The neutron, the proton, and electrons.

9
00:00:27,020 --> 00:00:34,760
Protons and neutrons are in the exact center of the atom, are bonded to one another, and constitute what is known as the nucleus.

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,520
And the nucleus gives the atom its weight.

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,660
Electrons revolve around the nucleus.

12
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:47,320
Electrons are essentially a cloud of dust with literally no weight at all.

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,700
Protons are positively charged particles, and electrons are negatively charged.

14
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:53,660
Neutrons have no charge.

15
00:00:53,660 --> 00:01:00,480
The number of protons in an atom is always equal to that of its electrons.

16
00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:04,220
There is nothing between the nucleus and the electrons.

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,400
That giant void represents 99.999% of the atom.

18
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,560
That void can be described using this comparison.

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:22,980
If we think of an atom as a football stadium, then the nucleus that comprises its entire mass is no larger than a pea.

20
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:32,840
Electrons orbit the nucleus at incredible speeds, ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 kilometers per second.

21
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,820
To put it another way, an electron revolves around the nucleus around 1,000,000,000 times per second on average.

22
00:01:41,660 --> 00:01:45,880
As a result of that extraordinary speed, the atom works very hard and solid,

23
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,440
much in the way that the blades of a fan seem to resemble a solid object as they revolve at high speed.

24
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:59,780
All of the more than 10 to the 79th power of atoms that constitute the universe

25
00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:06,460
have been maintaining their same force uninterruptedly and with no mistakes for the last 15 billion years.

26
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:13,300
This amazing fact of creation belongs to our Almighty Lord, the Lord and Creator of all worlds.

27
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:43,280
The Lord and Creator of all worlds.
