What is an atom?

Have you ever wondered what you, your chair, a glass of water, and a roaring T-Rex all have in common? They are all made out of the exact same tiny, invisible building blocks called atoms! Join Mira and Finn on Science is Not Boring as they uncover the ultimate microscopic secret of the universe. Discover how these mind-bogglingly small puzzle pieces work—if you blew up an apple to the size of planet Earth, its atoms would only be the size of a regular apple!

Get ready to have your mind blown when you find out there are only 118 different types of atoms that build absolutely everything, just like the ultimate set of cosmic Lego blocks. You'll learn why you are literally made of ancient, recycled stardust, and why every single human on Earth could squeeze into a single sugar cube because you are mostly made of empty space! Plus, travel 300 feet underground to the freezing cold Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, where scientists smash atoms together at the speed of light. Tune in to find out why you are a walking, talking masterpiece of science!
