   Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions

     @traabot As an armchair astrophysicist, I believe that this take is very metal.

     @traabot Pie chart labeled "Types of atom in the universe":

     Hydrogen, 74%

     Other, 1%

     @traabot «Most normal matter in the universe consists of hydrogen (75%) and helium (25%), everything else - absolutely everything else except for a tiny bit of lithium - amounts to a mere fraction of a percent that has taken many, many stellar generations to produce.» (from https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/life-unbounded/httpblogsscientificamericancomlife-unbounded20110802the-molecules-that-made-the-universe/). Just tried to fact-check :)

     @traabot Oh and before hydrogen starts getting all high and mighty let me remind you all atoms only make up 5% of the universe, 70% is dark energy and is 25% dark matter...
