TODO: do higher overtones decay faster in time than the base ones?

You know things are bad when the extracurricular activities are what studnets should actually be doing full time instead!
The FASCINATING 200-Year History of Benzene by Chemistorian
. Source. Interesting history. Notably how things were only finally well settled by X-ray crystallography.Discovering them was not so easy because they don't form chemical compounds. So they exist only as gases. And Helium disperses off into space.
Argon was the first to be found by density considerations because it is so abundant on Earth's atmosphere (~1%): Argon is abundant on Earth's atmosphere because it comes from the decay of Potassium-40.
Then basically all of the others were discovered by spectral lines. Helium notably was first found on the Sun like that, and only later on Earth! Thus its name. Pretty cool.

And notably, it is almost all Argon-40, which is stable, but not the most common one to come from natural nucleosynthesis.
Fiber optics cables often come in pairs because it is needed for duplex Updated 2024-12-15 +Created 2024-06-28
It's the thing that allows you to connect fiber optics into a compter, or the corresponding port for the thing.
Many of them can take two fibers as input/output because fiber optics cables often come in pairs because it is needed for duplex.
