He related α to the Eddington number, which was his estimate of the number of protons in the universe. [2] This led him in 1929 to conjecture that α was exactly 1/136. [3] He devised a "proof" that N Edd = 136 × 2 256, or about 1.57 × 10 79. Other physicists did not adopt this conjecture and did not accept his argument.
Indium (49 In) consists of two primordial nuclides, with the most common (~ 95.7%) nuclide (115 In) being measurably though weakly radioactive. Its spin-forbidden decay has a half-life of 4.41×10 14 years, much longer than the currently accepted age of the Universe. The stable isotope 113 In is only 4.3% of
Indium has 39 known isotopes, ranging in mass number from 97 to 135. Only two isotopes occur naturally as primordial nuclides: indium-113, the only stable isotope, and indium-115, which has a half-life of 4.41 × 10 14 years, four orders of magnitude greater than the age of the Universe and nearly 30,000 times greater than half life of thorium ...

Stable even–even nuclides number as many as three isobars for some mass numbers, and up to seven isotopes for some atomic numbers. Conversely, of the 251 known stable nuclides, only five have both an odd number of protons and odd number of neutrons: hydrogen-2 , lithium-6, boron-10, nitrogen-14, and tantalum-180m.
Once temperatures are lowered, out of every 16 nucleons (2 neutrons and 14 protons), 4 of these (25% of the total particles and total mass) combine quickly into one helium-4 nucleus. This produces one helium for every 12 hydrogens, resulting in a universe that is a little over 8% helium by number of atoms, and 25% helium by mass.
The Big Bang Theory, which aired from 2007 to 2019, introduced a group of friends made up of scientists and their significant others. The show's success spanned the CBS prequel series Young ...
It is prevented from having a stable isotope with 4 protons and 6 neutrons by the very large mismatch in proton/neutron ratio for such a light element. (Nevertheless, beryllium-10 has a half-life of 1.36 million years, which is too short to be primordial , but still indicates unusual stability for a light isotope with such an imbalance.)
