    In April 2019, the Xenon1T detector in Italy aimed to detect dark matter with liquid xenon. While they failed to succeed, the team did discover the longest half-life ever recorded, which is extraordinarily rare.
    The experiment consisted of an enormous tank filled mostly with xenon cooled to -96 degrees Celsius, and while the vat contained 3.2 metric tons of liquid xenon, the experiment had a targeted exposure rate of 1 metric ton per year, hence the 1T in the name.
    The scientists were trying to expose the xenon to dark matter, or most specifically Weekly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), which are thought to be heavy, slow-moving particles. But the particles are just hypothetical.
    The experimental hope was that while watching a gigantic tank of xenon very closely, a WIMP would collide with an atom and transfer some of that energy to the atom’s nucleus. In turn, that would excite other xenon atoms, ultimately leading to the release of faint signals of ultraviolet light and trace amounts of electrical charge which could be detected by sensors at the top and bottom of the tank.
    And after collecting data from 2016 to December 2018, scientists didn’t detect any dark matter, not a single hint of a WIMP. Instead, they discovered something else pretty monumental: a record-setting half-life.
    Learn more about the Xenon1T detector, the experiment and the unexpected result in this episode of Elements.

    Dark matter detector reveals material with longest half-life ever - 18 sextillion years

    "According to this study, the half-life of xenon 124 is a barely-comprehensible 18 sextillion years, or an 18 followed by 21 zeroes. For comparison's sake, that's more than a trillion times longer than the age of the universe itself, which is a mere 13.8 billion years young."
    Dark Matter

    "Dark matter is stuff in space that has gravity, but it is unlike anything scientists have ever seen before. Together, dark matter and dark energy make up 95% of the universe. That only leaves a small 5% for all the matter and energy we know and understand."

    "XENON1T utilizes a liquid xenon time projection chamber with a fiducial mass of (1.30±0.01) ton, resulting in a 1.0 ton yr exposure."

      @@dominusfons4455 It's simple. You know the properties of dark matter? It should have mass. Ok whatever. How they gonna detect that mass??
      They say it does not interact with other dark matter. So it keeps nicely spread out. No?.
      It is non detectable trough the electromagnetic spectrum. So they think it has mass but they can not actually know. Because there is no way to observe it.
      Now what is space? And it doesnt matter if that is space in your room or space in space.
      Space is nothing. Unless it is defined by the matter that occupies it. Take away the walls of your room and the space of your room can no longer be defined. What is this space? Isn't Dark matter just space??
      Hey its like the aether. A medium where light propogates trough. The medium cannot be found. Yet light propogates trough space. It still suggest there should be a medium. Just not a static one.

      What if we invent a time machine and it speeds up aging of its parts so we need an extremely stable element? What if stable elements turn out to be useful for quantum reactions? Or don't immediately react with anti-matter, or release more energy when reacting with anti-matter? Or any number of possible things we could learn from this about probability and physics. I'd say it's a perfectly useful find that may have unknown benefits in the future, like Leonardo Da Vinci's helicopter, or Einstein predicting black holes, or Giordano Bruno predicting exoplanets over 300 years early.

      GODLESS101 I hesitate to bring what some will perceive as “political correctness rant” into a quality science channel, but this feels like a teachable moment. I want to emphasize that I’m not offended or angry or triggered by your (mostly) harmless joke, and in fact I smiled at it when I first read it, thinking about how my husband probably sees me in that same way, and that is my point: it looks like a perfectly harmless little joke, playing off the stereotype of women being slow and taking forever to get ready; it’s not like you’re insulting women or anything... yet it does embed a tiny bit of harm, precisely because it plays off a negative stereotype of an entire population of people. I will suggest that if your goal is to consistently treat others with dignity and respect then think of perhaps rewriting a joke to be about yourself (“that’s how long it takes me to get really before I get me morning coffee”) and if you find, as is the case in my example, that that’s not very funny and the punchline relies on the negative stereotype then perhaps the joke isn’t worth telling in the first place.

    Now here's a question I have of some relevance to this; This particular isotope of Xenon has a half life after which it decays to form another element. Other isotopes of Xenon are thought to be stable, if I'm right, but here's my question: is there such a thing as a stable element that will not decay into something else, or are all elements, regardless of isotopes, in fact unstable and will decay into something less after sufficient time, even, say, Gold 197, which is probably one of the (if not the, as far as I know) most stable atomic isotopes in existence?

      80 elements have stable isotopes. Every element has radioactive isotopes, but some of these do practically not occur under natural conditions. E.g. gold consists naturally only of one isotope which is stable. 36 radioactive gold isotopes have been synthesized artificially.
      146 isotopes are stable in observation and theory, and a further 105 isotopes are so far observed to be stable, but may turn out to decay with a very long half life from a theoretical view.

      We know and it has been shown that matter and anti-matter does exist, but dark energy does not exist anymore than retired theoretical physicist Ronald L. Mallett can build a time machine by trying to bend space-time with curving or a vortex of laser light. We all already know that massive sources of gravity like merging black holes can cause gravitational waves and warp and bend space-time but laser light? Well light just moves through space-time and you don't have to be a theoretical physicist to know that. If dark energy exists, what about light energy? Does light energy have mass? How can a made up "dark energy" account for all the missing mass. Maybe we need a new brainstorm from the experts.
