Will we ever manage to create substantial amounts of the heaviest atoms currently known, such as Seaborgium or Coppernicium ?

May be a moronic question, still, I need an answer.
What is the most abundant element in each planet on our solar system?
Also, can we balance the elements in a planet in order to give it a general charge?

yes, because this is what an atom looks like

Here's a photo (not shooped).

What major is better, Chemistry or Physics?

I enjoy both of them a lot, so it doesn't matter a whole lot of what one I picked, but I'm concerned about career opportunities and salary.

I was also thinking about engineering, but there are so many options.

Does space itself exist in a material sense? Allow me to elaborate by drawing a parallel. A mime isn't trapped in a box that exists, he is moving in a way that defines an abstract.

Is space merely an abstract defined by the movement of objects, or is it a physical medium? Is it a fabric, or merely a path?

I just learned from a documentary, 99% of an atom is empty space. Therefore, we are nothing but a bunch of empty space. Funny isn't it.
Looking at another angle, if the atom is compressed, each one of us are only a size of a small marble. So, how big is the universe really if it is compressed. Is this what we call singularity?
Putting it in another way, what are we, really?
Any volunteers to answer this?

I am 15 and have just finished year 9. I am very curious as to understanding String Theory. I don't want anyone lecturing me about how it is false, i just want a non-bias description of it. Can anyone in /sci/ deliver?

An atom has four electrons in its valence shell. What types of covalent bonds is it capable of forming?

A four single bonds only
B single and double only
C single, double, or triple
D two double bonds only

Help any biofags?

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My question is simple, but first a background. I am preparing to enter my freshmen year at college to study physics. I am drawn between two specific fields; astrophysics and nuclear physics. Based on the research I have done, astrophysics is a hard field to find a job in without a Ph.D. I have yet to find the same to hold true for nuclear physics, but am hoping someone will help me better understand that statistics. Mainly placement salary and the availability of said career with a Bachelor's Degree. Thank you.

I'm majoring in Nuclear & Radiological Engineering and really starting to burn out.

Is it worthwhile or should I switch to something else? They pitch that it's OMGFUCKINGAMAZING in the school, but so does every major ever.
