Fascinating Atoms

It is a fascinating world of atoms. We all know that atoms are the backbone of anything and everything that we find in the world.

Till 100 years back, we were thinking that we cannot break atoms, but that logic was short lived as we broke the atoms and the result is the deadly atom bombs. We all know that atoms are made of protons and neutrons. One important aspect about atoms is that, if we were able to rearrange the protons and neutrons, then we can make human tissues from animal cells and make diamond out of charcoal.

For eg.if a charcoal is made of 5p & 6n and a diamond is made of 6p & 5n, if it can be rearranged, the a charcoal can be converted into a diamond. Fascinating is it...?

But, imagine the consequences, if the scientist community is able to achieve this feat...Unimaginable. No human being will die as we will kill animals for their tissues as well and live longer life. We have to migrate to Mars, as earth will be full.
