      @@alfoncejean8826 Astrophysicist here. Kelvin Luk is basically right: Hydrogen, most of the Helium, and some Lithium was formed in the Big Bang. (Beryllium though is mostly formed from fission caused by cosmic rays). Most of everything else comes from dying stars -- either supernovae of massive stars, white dwarfs, or the outer layers of low mass stars. Also interesting is that the heavier elements (especially above atomic number 44) mostly come from merging neutron stars, which is a pretty rare event!
      Some notable examples: Almost all oxygen atoms were synthesized in massive stars and released in the supernovae. You might think that iron would also come from exploding massive stars, but since it's in the core, not a lot of it is actually released by the explosion -- instead most of it comes from exploding white dwarfs. For mercury, most comes from low mass stars. Almost all gold and iodine came from merging neutron stars, which if I remember Avengers: Infinity War correctly, is also true for Mjolnir and Storm Breaker. :P

      +electronicsNmore:
      In U235 fission reactors, Iodine 131 forms among many other nuclides when U235 fissions.
      In order to extract the I 131, they heat uranium oxide fuel elements in a container. The elemental iodine vaporizes and solidifies on the container calls.
      One of the big problems for reactors is when there is a leak. Iodine easily escapes since it vaporizes easily, even at room temperature. They give the population potassium iodide pills (KI).
      The idea is that our body uses the non radioactive I 127 for making the 2 hormones in the goiter instead of I 131.
      I 131 is used as a radioactive tracer to detect goiter problems.
      The half-life is 8 days.
      It might be difficult to detect the I 131 by now.

    Hey Cody, I must say your videos have been keeping me entertained and interested over the last couple of weeks as I'm sort of binging through and I want to express my gratitude and respect. Much love. I also want to use this opportunity to share something you probably already know, but I haven't seen so far in any of your videos, which is Gallium attacking Aluminum alloys. Usually Gallium won't react with Aluminum because of the protective coating of aluminum-oxide, but if you scratch that up and coat it with some liquid Gallium, a couple of drops can slowly eat away entire bars and turn them into something so brittle you can break it with your bare hands. Fun to watch the Gallium work under the surface of the aluminum oxide layer and eat the metal from the inside out. What's also interesting about this is that the resulting aluminum-gallium alloy reacts fairly heavily with water, producing hydrogen gas and aluminum oxide and leaves the gallium to be fully recoverable. I would absolutely love to see you work out a video with that explaining these processes, or perhaps exploring the possibilities of using this reaction as a fuel or energy source. Again much love for your work, you are amazing!
