1. Neutron Stars Are Atoms the Size of Mountains

5. Why and what phenomenon causes a nuclear reactor to glow a brilliant blue?

Cherenkov radiation, also known as Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation,[a] is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. The characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor is due to Cherenkov radiation. It is named after Soviet scientist Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov, the 1958 Nobel Prize winner who was the first to detect it experimentally.[1]

Just a little misunderstanding of the question: What is the size of the diameter of an atom, but weighs as much as Mt. Everest...

5. Why and what phenomenon causes a nuclear reactor to glow a brilliant blue?

Alana33: :Cherenkov radiation, also known as Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation,[a] is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium.

Yes! Cherenkov Radiation. In the nuclear reactor example and being non-vacuum - the medium is, of course, water. The shortest wavelength of visible light is blue; hence the beautiful blue glow. Some tend to define this phenomenon as a 'light-based sonic boom'.

Mini black holes?
They are possibly as small as a proton but quite heavy.

What could be the lifespan of an atom? Just curious...

Just a thought?

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ------------------------------Albert Einstein

"The problem with internet quotes is that you cant always depend on their accuracy" -Abraham Lincoln, 1864

"Symbolic representation of quantitative entities must assume its rightful place of minor importance in a world where flowers and beautiful women abound." ~Albert Einstein

1. It is considered the largest museum on Earth.

The Smithsonian - JJ

It is certainly a large one; but to be fair, I should have been clearer and said that the answer wasn't going to be a building. My question was very vague and I apologize. The answer to this was "the ocean" is the largest, because it contains the most remnants and artifacts than all the museums combined. I'm sorry for not being clearer. Very good answer, JJ!

2. At springtide in this location, the difference between low tide and high tide is 53 1/2 feet.

The Bay of Fundy - JJ.
