That cat's face perfectly captures the existential shock of nuclear physics! Uranium-235 has a half-life of about 700 million years, meaning after 2 billion years, roughly three half-lives would pass, leaving behind about 1/8 of the original uranium. The rest? Transformed into lead-207 through radioactive decay. The cat's wide-eyed expression is basically every student who suddenly grasps the mind-blowing concept that elements literally transform into completely different elements over time. Nuclear transmutation: turning one element into another without a philosopher's stone!
