Atoms are immortal, so can people say eternal life?We are not so orderly

Author:Scientific belief Time:2022.09.12

Since human beings realized the true meaning of "life and death", they have begun to pursue eternal life, but this is just a dream.

Including the universe, everything known is eternal. How can we surpass the law of the universe? Although the eternal life we ​​are pursuing is difficult to achieve, from another perspective, each of us is eternal from the beginning. As early as 10 billion years ago, we already existed, and in the future It's just that we are not so orderly in the past and the future. From a macro perspective, people are a whole, and this overall operation relies on a variety of different body organs to achieve, and every inch of our body and every inch of skin are composed of cells of.

Either organs or cells, they can only be regarded as macro things, and from the micro level, what really constitutes our body is a variety of atoms, and these atoms are not produced with our lives. Born in tens of billions of years.

The human body is very complicated. There are currently 118 types of elements known, and more than 60 elements needed to form the human body, of which calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, nitrogen,,, nitrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen,,, nitrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen,,,, nitrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen,,,,,, nitrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen,,,,,,,,, Phosphorus and chlorine are necessary quantitative elements. In addition, there are various trace elements necessary for the human body, which is indispensable. There must be so many types of elements to form the human body, but at the beginning of the birth of the universe, the types of elements are very single, mainly hydrogen and a small amount of 氦. Slowly, the accumulation of hydrogen elements and condensed into a whole. Under the use of pressure, the hydrogen nucleus fusion was ignited, and a star was born.

Inside the star, the hydrogen is constantly becoming a pupae through a fusion reaction, but this is just the beginning.

With the exhaustion of the hydrogen element, the expansion of the outward radiation is reduced, the internal pressure of the star has been further improved, the element element is ignited, and the star is transferred from the hydrogen nucleus fusion stage to the nucleus fusion stage. In this way, in the inside of the stars, nuclear fusion continues to advance to more elements, so the material types in the universe have become more diverse. However, this is not enough, because the fusion process of the star can only be advanced to iron, because from then on, the fusion of the element will be converted from the release of energy to absorb energy. Without the outward radiation expansion pressure, the star will collapse the center sharply to the center. Become a neutron star that is constantly cooling. Obviously, the elements below iron are not enough to form the human body. What should I do?

Although the elements above the iron cannot be generated through the fusion process of the stars, it can be obtained through more severe celestial activities.

When the fusion process of the star is carried out to the iron, the radiation dilatation pressure disappears, and the star material quickly collapses the center, which has caused a severe rebound and released huge energy in an instant. In the process of the outbreak of the supernova, a series of heavier elements can be produced than iron. In addition, there is a stronger celestial activity that is stronger than the supernova eruption. It can also produce such heavy elements. How long did this happen before? We know that the universe is 13.8 billion years old, and the hydrogen and 氦 hydrogen elements are almost produced with the universe, and the heavy elements in the back were about 13.3 billion years ago.

Generally speaking, once these elements are generated, it will not be destroyed, so from the atomic level, our body has a history of more than 10 billion years, but in the past more than 10 billion years, we Not as orderly as it is now.

This is like a part of the part. When we combine it in an extremely orderly way, a computer is generated. When we reinterpret this computer into parts, there is no change in essence. But the placement of these parts is no longer so orderly. Our essence is atoms, and atoms will not be destroyed. From this perspective, each of us is eternal, but we are before and after, and our order is different from the present.

Will the atoms be destroyed?

In general, it is not possible. For example, after a century, our body is burned as gray powder, but the molecular structure is broken, and the atom will not change the slightest. The most important component of the human body is hydrocarbon. After cremation, carbon will fly in the form of carbon dioxide, and hydrogen and oxygen will diverge in the form of water vapor. The form of powder is left, and we call it ashes. The changes in the appearance are just breaking the reorganization. From the perspective of the atomic level, everything has not changed. In the future, the atoms that formed our body will be taken to all parts of the world, re -forming other substances, and may even become part of other celestial bodies. Of course, it may also form a human body again, and the atoms next to you may also come from the lover of your previous life.
