This is a nuclide chart.

Number of Protons on Y axis
Number of Neutrons on X axis

The chart shows every known element and every known isotope.

The proton number determines the element, the neutron number determines the isotope.

The colour illustrates the half life of each type of atom, the vast majority of atomic structures decay quickly but the chart shows a spine of stable atoms in assembly-space.

There are a few weird features in this data. One of the most interesting things are the “magic numbers”.

Magic numbers represent complete atomic structures of protons and neutrons and these complete structures are more stable and they produce longer lasting atoms.

The atoms at the upper right all spontaneously fission, this is the fundamental mechanism behind nuclear power.

2008 really broke capitalism in a way that a nobody under 30 understands.

The next big financial crisis isn’t going to be the stock market. The stock market is now 100% underwritten by QE.

The next big crisis is SovX.
Entire countries will disappear.

We are in a SovX bubble. This is the bubble. The US government spends far more money than it collects.

Some people argue that money gets devalued by inflation and so all USD denominated charts should look exponential on a long timeframe.

But clever people hide terrible things in exponential curves…

What do the following science, technology and engineering projects have in common?

1). JET nuclear fusion reactor in Culham. 2). Astute class nuclear submarines being build in the Devonshire Dock Hall, Barrow-in-Furness.
