The Strange Cosmic Origin of Earth’s Most Precious Metals

The problem with neutron star crime is you can never get a charge to stick 😏

thank you for the dad jokes :)

There is no excuse for theft. Period.

itsfunny. rh. the exploding end of dieing stars. well im suosed to be a star and protons from my eyes and the darkness from my exploding rear. so get me in a leb and use me

1:27 - The catalytic converter (cat) is critical for cleaner air. But it's not perfect, though. For starters, cats have almost zero effect on PM2.5 particulates, which can be very hazardous.

Then, the cat needs to heat up to a hot 300+℃ before it can operate properly. So, for several minutes while each ICE car is started up in the morning, we get unprocessed poisonous toxins out of the car's cold exhaust system. Never be in the garage while your car is warming up.

The cat's chemical operation requires very costly precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium. So the cat is sized to be a minimum size, otherwise its cost would be onerous to the consumer. Therefore, the minimally sized cat gets overwhelmed whenever the car accelerates from a stop or light, or accelerates to merge or pass. We again get unprocessed poisonous toxins out of the car's exhaust system.

The third problem is that the cat deteriorates over time as it suffers harsh ongoing mechanical & thermal stresses, and as it gets caked in particulates

What's worse is that many states and regions have no annual smog check like California has. Therefore, many old vehicles are operating with a minimally functioning catalytic converter.

Lastly, some people remove their cat via a "cat delete" operation. With so many regions having no post-sale checks or annual smog checks, these vehicles can operate with no catalytic converter whatsoever.

Surat Al-Hadid (Chapter 57, "The Iron") in the Quran states that iron was "sent down" (



) and possesses great strength and benefits for humanity (57:25). Modern science supports this by showing that iron formed in outer space via supernova explosions, with meteors subsequently bringing it to Earth, confirming it did not originate on the planet.

Key Connections Between Surat Al-Hadid and Iron:

"Sent Down" (Anzalna): The phrase suggests an external origin, aligning with scientific findings that iron was delivered to Earth's early crust via meteorites.

Numerical & Scientific Miracles: Surat Al-Hadid is the 57th chapter, and the most stable isotope of iron has a mass number of 57. Furthermore, the Arabic word for iron ("hadid") has an atomic numerical value of 26, matching the atomic number of iron on the periodic table.

Benefits & Strength: The verse highlights iron's "mighty war" (strength/force) and "many benefits" (utility in technology/medicine).

Central Location: The chapter is located in the middle of the Quran (Surah 57 of 114), which correlates to iron being at the center (core) of the Earth. 

The verse, “We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty war, as well as many benefits for mankind” (57:25), is often cited to emphasize the divine, scientific, and practical significance of iron in the Quran.

Ok brains, if noble metals arrived on earth from space rocks and so did earth then they're not so noble after all.

Heavy Element 126 - Korium Ko

Heavy Element 164 - Stabilium St

Heavy Element 184 - Fortrium Fr

Heavy Element 228 - Ultimium Ut

Heavy Element 308 - Terminium Tr

So the problem is caused by govt regulation got it.

Throw thieves in jail

7:19 promethium is not naturally occuring i think
correct me if i’m wrong

There isnt enough rhodium on the surface of the earth for every catalytic converter to have a couple of grams of it. There is a couple of grams total of platinum group metals total. Depending on year make and model. Some more than others. Palladium is more commonly used as its leaps and bounds easier to work with and right now is cheaper

12:14 i totally forgot we were talking about this lolll 😂

I have Exactly the same periodic table on my counter 🩶

Palladium is rare to find as this is a cobalt world.

Where is FRANCIUM??

Great video

Bad color coding. Neutrons should have been blue, and protons should have been red

thats why cars cost so much

Why atoms has different properties based on its mass?

back before the rich knew how easy it would be to dupe rubes into saying "woke" instead of solving problems

But why is there less Rh than Au, if Au is heavier?
