What are atoms made of?

Are you ready to have your mind totally blown?! Look at your hands, the walls, and the screen you are reading this on. Everything around you is made of tiny, invisible building blocks called atoms! But what is an atom actually made of? Join Mira and Finn on a zooming, shrinking adventure into the smallest things in the entire universe! You'll discover that a single grain of sand has over fifty quintillion atoms inside it (that’s a five with nineteen zeros!). But the craziest part? Atoms are almost completely empty space! You'll hear the wild true story of Ernest Rutherford firing speeding particles at a super-thin sheet of gold foil, only to find out they bounced straight back! We'll shrink down past the tiny nucleus to find even tinier things like protons, neutrons, and funny-sounding particles called quarks. Learn how scientists used a two-mile-long machine to smash atoms together, and find out what would happen if you squeezed all the empty space out of every single human on Earth (Hint: we would all fit inside a single, incredibly heavy sugar cube!). Get ready to shrink down to the quantum level!
