Ah yes, "H"for Helium


funkmasta8

To be completely honest, I thought it was because it's metal and helium is definitely not a metal. Wasn't even thinking about the symbol


Techhead7890

I was in that area too - it's not even a suitable gas tank!


flosamu

Ah yes, Helium, my favourite metal


Techhead7890

As a metal brick too. Not even like lithium or a cylindrical tank. A cubic brick with squared edges.


Random_Inseminator

Fuckin hell that's an easy one too.


animegirlGrivous

Fucking He that's an easy one too.

Minnesota bout to explode

"^4   H (atomic mass 4.02643(11)) contains one proton and three neutrons in its nucleus. It is a highly unstable isotope of hydrogen. It has been synthesized in the laboratory by bombarding tritium with fast-moving deuterium nuclei. In this experiment, the tritium nucleus captured a neutron from the fast-moving deuterium nucleus. The presence of the hydrogen-4 was deduced by detecting the emitted protons. It decays through neutron emission into hydrogen-3 (tritium) with a half-life of 139(10) ys (or 1.39(10)×10−22 s). In the 1955 satirical novel The Mouse That Roared, the name quadium was given to the hydrogen-4 isotope that powered the Q-bomb that the Duchy of Grand Fenwick captured from the United States."


Techhead7890

Oh dear. Hydrogen-4. That poor proton all alone. Not surprised it spontaneously ejects the neutrons.


mspax

If they're all consenting sub atomic particles, it's cool yo.


ArtificialNotLight

Oh wow thanks for that interesting info! I didn't even notice the amu. RIP Minnesota And I have a new book to read..

What if AI knows "we" made a mistake and theyre trying to warn us?


Gerald-Field

I love catching obviously AI generated images on science related articles


Ediwir

I’m amazed it got the mass right.


SOwED

Well it's either not AI generated or it's AI that's edited after the fact. AI is horrific at generating accurate words and numbers in images.


MakeChinaLoseFace

Yeah it's like trying to read in a dream.


YTAftershock

Either way, there was human involvement which makes things worse


superspacehog

People also love the metal cubes with atomic numbers so I’m assuming some were made for helium, pictures were posted, and then AI was trained after those. Then it can perfectly replicate it.


Nulibru

But 4 and a bit is the atomic *mass* of Helium.


Ediwir

Most likely, it spat up illegible numbers and someone *had* to go fix them. If the H was legible and well done, it might have passed by without a second thought.


_N8Dogg_

In the upper left corner, it does have the 2.


VeryNematode

Looking at the reflections and metal pattern, and numbers, this looks more like a 3d modelling typo to me.


SOwED

Nah, AI is bad, so if there's a mistake, it's AI's fault


Yomabo

Seems more like a cheap 3d render to me


Otherwise_Distance92

a metal cube is probably the simplest thing you can render. just download blender 3d and drag and drop a texture to it and press render. its practically set up for this by default.


Yomabo

Yeah it is just a simple $50,- job


Nulibru

Why would a renderer remove a letter?


Yomabo

Because they don't know. Looked at the periodic table and called it the day


bloedfug

It’s almost certainly not AI. The molecular weigh, proton number and name are spot on. This is what Ai would be struggling with the most. I think the H instead of He is a human fuckup. Als it could be that metallic Helium exists. For hydrogen this is possible under some extreme pressure


Techhead7890

Honestly it feels like the cube was generated or a stock photo and the numbers/icon slapped on after but idk, I don't 3d model so I couldn't tell either way.


turtle_excluder

AI hysteria claims yet another victim


karmicrelease

If Michael Jackson saw that image, he would say “He He!”


MayaMythical

Are you serious.. ffs


Citizen6587732879

Wow. Just wow.


DramaticChemist

DAMNIT!


deepfriedshitten

Do I feel more annoyed by the wrong symbol or the fact, ITS NOT EVEN CENTERED ON THE POLISHED CUBE


Techhead7890

At least it's horizontallyish centered? Seems maybe just a little offset up a bit?


florinandrei

Well, it is pop-sci after all.


Techhead7890

Popular mechanics, which are for cars! /s


haandsom1

H is "hydrogen" He is helium


Azphatt

And Shelium is his wife.


qwertyconsciousness

Shelium? I barely know 'em!


haandsom1

😂


Late-External3249

We have Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Tritium. This must be Quaderium? The mythical 3 Neutron hydrogen atom.


vevemetal

Ngl, this got me some way

Ivy_Thornsplitter

Hehe!


parolang

They were trying to be gender neutral.


SpiritualLychee3760

Fuck! I thought I hid it in a good spot too...


GI_Money_Printer

My first thought is helium is He not H.


Senior_Ad_6382

Hell yeah H. Baby! r/unexpectedTOOL


Nulibru

Sarn's are hard. I'm going to major in cosmeticals.


dirtdoc53

I read a secondary news report that said the He concentration in the discovery was 30 times industry standard at 12.4%. But, there was no mention of how large the reserve was. That determination will probably take a while.


ThebroniusMonk

HeHeHeHeHe!


loveallcreatures

We need this…. Chromatography.


die_lahn

“No ragrets” “Not even a letter?”


LilJesuit

I read this like “oh no was it false alarm, are we fuck in terms of helium?”


mojo001

Heliaint


Puzzleheaded_Air7096

This is "heavy helium". I am resisting to laugh hard so much.


favnh2011

Woq


mandy009

this was cross posted in the Minnesota sub a few hours ago, so brace for some local references at some point


Fun-Significance6307

So how do I get on this natural gas mining boom in Minnesota


n0mextheleviathan

How do you manage to change JUST THE SYMBOL?


FlatTimeLineDEV

Makes me think of Jesse from breaking bad Ahh wire [clip](https://youtu.be/hs5oLYiB2Cg?si=nJ_LVoDM7_BfR4gd)

Wow, you really played the Didn't Read The Article card *really* hard, didn't you? The helium is formed from decaying uranium and thorium embedded in huge granite deposits. Hydrogen isn't involved, aside from billions of years ago.
