Phew... now that I have got that out of my system, now to describe some current events.
Apparently, it turns out that dutch astronomers have discovered a new star. But this is no ordinary star, this is a star that shoots bullets of water!
What happens inside the star is simple, just atoms bonding together. This is what happened to the star to get the water bullets:
- H (Hydrogen) + H = D (Deuterium, or "Heavy Hydrogen")
- D + H = He (Helium)
- He + He = Be (Beryllium)
- (At this point, you may hear a noise. That noise is Patrick squealing in pants-wetting joy)
- Be + He = C (Carbon, aka Coal and Diamonds)
- C + He = O (Oxygen)
- O + H = H2O (Water)
The water then is shot off into space. Hooray, super water space bullets!

PS: Doing some Wolfram-Fu, I worked out the total amount of energy spent on moving the water to be 3.38×1017 joules. That's 3,761 metric tons of antimatter. Per second.

Go to hell
ReplyDeleteThat is kind of illogical, because the atoms inside the star are plasma, and have lost their electrons, which means covalent bonds can't be formed (they require electrostatic force) and guess which bonds water use!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where the electrons come from (hur hur), but here's my source:
