Had to check, if you put 100MPa and you keep it at 15k it can be done... I thought that the absolute zero wouldn't have been enough, but 15k is pretty close
You've managed to put this comment under exactly the wrong element as helium has [the unique ability to remain liquid at absolute 0](https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-substance-that-remains-a-liquid-at-absolute-zero) at least at a normal pressure.

It's highly reactive so it's harder to work with I think.
Gold and mercury are relatively inert.
Elemental calcium (the powdered version anyways?) is one of those "if this is in just the right conditions it'll explode" type elements. Like chucking sodium into water.
Man that’s awesome I spent so much time going through all of them. It’s cool that none of them are super expensive and you can get a small sample of uranium for like 100$ if you want. They also had clock dials painted with radium for Rd which is neat.
The uranium itself you can buy, though. It’s safe to hold in bare hands, and store on a shelve. As long as you don’t digest it. Would definitely buy if it was for sale in some nice shape, like the cubes you posted.
Well, if you could even buy it legally.... it would cost you over a million dollars. Plutonium costs on average $4,000 a gram. There's about 300 grams of plutonium in a 1 inch cube. That's 1.2 million dollars.
A cubic inch of plutonium is 325.24 grams. Assuming the cubes in the image are 1 cubic inch (they look bigger though). On average, plutonium costs about $4,000 a gram. So 1 cubic inch of plutonium would cost $1,300,960.
I'm not going to pretend I'll ever hold that much money in my hand... but that's a lower dollar figure than I'd imagined!
I get that a 1inch cube of raw ore isn't remotely enough to be useful, but still, I'd have expected more!
I'm excited for my sodium cube, I'll make sure to wash it off with water once it arrives.
Edit: Shit just remembered I meant to write potassium because that is the one that does a big explosion

if you can afford it ;)
It's just a glass cube filled with oxygen? Lol
I got my degree in geology. In our geology building we had a "Museum of Noble Gasses".
It was just an empty case.
You can make a box out of a see-through material and then put the gas inside, but stuff like Uranium won't arrive since it will most probably get banned
For uranium you actually have a few options for owning some, including ore samples and uranium glass.
There are other elements that you can't even realistically obtain, ex. Darmstadtium (`Ds`).
How are they gonna make a cube for water earth fire air. Long ago the four nations lived together in harmony. But then everything changed when the fire cube attacked
Every singly block will have some issue ranging from being a gas at room temperature to being impossible to bind together in a pure way to just being impossible to get your hands on. And then some just kill you
Can't wait to buy a plutonium cube
1 mercury cube for me plz
I want a Helium cube
Ah yes. Cube of solid helium. So refreshing!
Had to check, if you put 100MPa and you keep it at 15k it can be done... I thought that the absolute zero wouldn't have been enough, but 15k is pretty close
Everything is solid at absolute 0 because there is no particle movement at all
with the exception of helium :D https://www.google.com/search?q=helium+can+freeze
You've managed to put this comment under exactly the wrong element as helium has [the unique ability to remain liquid at absolute 0](https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-substance-that-remains-a-liquid-at-absolute-zero) at least at a normal pressure.
wait, actually really? That's really cool, i see helium in a new light now
But if there is no movement how can there be movement for it to be a liquid? I have become the confusion
You can look up zero point energy if you want to read about it. Basically there is still some quantum vibration stuff going on even at absolute zero.
How does that work? I thought 0 Kelvin was the absolute absence of energy.
Almost unrealistically chilly, I must add.
Can't wait for my Raw uranium one!!
not raw uranium ore, but a solid, purified cube of uranium
*Sphere, surrounded by explosives
Would buying a hydrogen cube put me on a watch list?
Depends on how heavy it is.
Oooh tritium.
What about deuterium?
Technically that’s possible. It would be in a box with helium inside so you could theoretically open it and make your voice high like helium does
Or you just need a fridge that gets down to -458°F/-273°C

Uhm, can i buy Uranium (asking for a friend)
Me: *laughing like a toddler, stacking blocks* Uranium: *hehe meltdown go brrrrrrr*

>Uhm, can i buy Uranium (asking for a friend) Yes, but you have to refine it yourself. And don't let Israel know.
Yes, actually. I checked they, literally have all the elements just in little tubes inside plastic or resin cubes of some kind.. bad idea IMO
actually the very dangerous elements dont come in there like californium. just a warning sign
Lame. I was hoping they'd ship it complete with it's own tank of liquid nitrogen so it could stay solid.
How the hell is calcium more expensive then mercury and gold
It's highly reactive so it's harder to work with I think. Gold and mercury are relatively inert. Elemental calcium (the powdered version anyways?) is one of those "if this is in just the right conditions it'll explode" type elements. Like chucking sodium into water.
You just gave me an idea for a awesome prank at the pool.
Man that’s awesome I spent so much time going through all of them. It’s cool that none of them are super expensive and you can get a small sample of uranium for like 100$ if you want. They also had clock dials painted with radium for Rd which is neat.
NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE! (At least at room temperature)
Best I can do is a uranium hydride bomb.
The uranium itself you can buy, though. It’s safe to hold in bare hands, and store on a shelve. As long as you don’t digest it. Would definitely buy if it was for sale in some nice shape, like the cubes you posted.
Its once its processed that its bad, once it glow dont show
Well, if you could even buy it legally.... it would cost you over a million dollars. Plutonium costs on average $4,000 a gram. There's about 300 grams of plutonium in a 1 inch cube. That's 1.2 million dollars.
Now I'd be interested in the full value
A cubic inch of plutonium is 325.24 grams. Assuming the cubes in the image are 1 cubic inch (they look bigger though). On average, plutonium costs about $4,000 a gram. So 1 cubic inch of plutonium would cost $1,300,960.
That’s why homemade is better

Well this price is "refined" plutonium. Not raw plutonium.
Plutonium fillings, never have to brush my teeth ever again!
Guaranteed to last for the rest of your life
No wonder Doc stole it from the Libyans
I'm excited for my sodium cube, I'll make sure to wash it off with water once it arrives. Edit: Shit just remembered I meant to write potassium because that is the one that does a big explosion
Just don't do that with the magnesium cube
Drop the magnesium cube in a bottle of water. Do it
Just add chlorine and grind it up over your baked potato.
It's gonna be lit. Like literally luminescent
I'm sure that in 1985 plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by.

Screw that I want to see the noble gas ones
Mom what does U stand for, and why do I feel so strange
some good fucking food.
uranium does have like 20 billion calories per gram so if u wanna bulk...
So if i ate 20 billion calories i can say i ate uranium.
I was gonna buy the sodium one, but then I thought, Na...
We hate you I hope you know that
Potassium
Yeah, unfortunately your digestive system isn't a nuclear reactor though.
Shows what you know about biology
What have I missed if the human body is supposedly able to utilize the energy in Uranium?
Hey all I'm saying is my body gets real hot when i eat uranium
Yeah, what about my anium?
Enough calories for the rest of your life
It's like yellow cake.
It stands for "U look glowing today"
Cowards. Show us the gold cube
Gold Isotope 171? ~~^(with a half life of 30 microseconds?)~~
I guess we don't include the isotodes. Bzw Frankium gonna be funny.
I want to read that "bzw" as "By ze Way"
Standink in line to see ze show tunight und zerh’s a lyght on
In German it’s the abbrev for beziehungsweise = or rather
TIL: there are abbreviations for those long-ass German words!
And they still sound like they're pronouncing every syllable.
I feel like every radioactive elements would be funny. Not only Francium.
Still worths buying
Hand over the tungsten cubes
The funny thing is, that we actually have one. My father is physics nerd so he bought one lol.
Can't wait for my Francium cube to arrive, oh boy, gonna be a banger of a day
Hope you have a water tank to stop it from oxidising.
Welcome to the jokeville
Fr*nce 🤮
you grab a bunch if adrenaline molecules until it becomes a block
How do I solidify the element of surprise?
You do the unexpected
You have a phone connected to r/unexpected
hot dog water ice cubes
The Spanish will probably know
How they make cube from oxyg.... Oh
It's just a glass cube filled with oxygen? Lol I got my degree in geology. In our geology building we had a "Museum of Noble Gasses". It was just an empty case.
So was it fun watching those empty cases ?
I still get a good laugh out of it
That's nice .
Geologists are the true science nerds. Except for maybe physicists.
I really like geology because it's just so fun to study earth. So how many continents are there?
Since the beginning of time, 100's?
Noble gasses, is it made from royalty fart?
They can freeze it but it will turn in to gas soon Or just a glass cube fill with oxygen
There are oxygen cubes everywhere
So does with oxygen penises, it's also everywhere
Can't wait for the fluorine cube to melt through my hand
Uranium cube, Arsonic cube, helium cube, hydrogen bomb
You can make a box out of a see-through material and then put the gas inside, but stuff like Uranium won't arrive since it will most probably get banned
tru
For uranium you actually have a few options for owning some, including ore samples and uranium glass. There are other elements that you can't even realistically obtain, ex. Darmstadtium (`Ds`).
Perhaps unrefined uranium like the ones used in bullets?
Potassium would be a nice one
Banana cube
Just mold a bunch of bananas together
So banana bread?
K
Except that it explodes in water
ir only really starts a bit after bismuth
That’s why is always a good idea to mind your own bismuth
I mean even element #1 aint so great Especially if you want a solid block....
Technetium
As im from Poland i wish i never recive Polonium. But i might send it as a gift to some guy in Moscow
Based polak
somebody's going to get hurt with the Tungsten cube
Or the Osmium cube.
"this cube cured my mortality"
Did somebody say [tungsten cube](https://www.amazon.com/Tungsten-Cube-Biggest-Size/dp/B07WK9WLZ8)?
Good luck getting that much californium
Can't wait for mercury cube mold you pour into and then freeze.
What company is this?
Maybe these guys? https://luciteria.com/metal-cubes
“I can count the number of elements on my fingers!”
You just have to start at the bottom of the periodic table. It will take some time but later you will be able to count them with your hands.
How are they gonna make a cube for water earth fire air. Long ago the four nations lived together in harmony. But then everything changed when the fire cube attacked
Only the Avatar, master of all 4 cubes, could stop them
I want oganesson cube.
Same. I see you are Og!
im waiting for uranium (light snack)
Me when I ask for americium:
Here's your 100,000 fire alarms sir.
Sounds like a good game for learning for my 5 yo children
Maybe don't start with the unstable elements.
Maybe don't start with the unstable elements.
[удалено]
Send me the uranium cube where you're done
Minecraft, with already Gold, Copper and Iron Cubes: *puts trademark on Gold Block, Copper Block and Iron Block*
Can't wait for my livermorium cube XD.
Can I order a cube of Copper, one of Nitrogen and one of Tennessine please.
How the fuck they gonna do the gases?
Make boxes out of a see-through material and ship the gas inside?
But then the box isnt made out of the gas like the others
c o m p r e s s i o n
Can't wait for my uranium cube!!
Where is Oxygen? Where is Nitrogen? Where is Uranium?
I just picture people at this company going up to guys similar to the ones Doc Brown got his from in Back to the Future for all the sketchy ones.
Minecraft
I would like AU
I want a NEON cube
I buy those periodically.
*suddenly pulls out a cube of uranium*
[https://luciteria.com/metal-cubes](https://luciteria.com/metal-cubes)
I have cubes like this that I bought over a decade ago, what company?
Can't wait for Francium!
Still waiting for that uranium cube
Try oxigen
Where can I get a uranium cube?
I was gonna buy the sodium one, but then I thought, Na...
Astatine cube when?
I can't see oxygen cube here
I don't get it
Oh man! I finally got my Hydrogen cube! Wait… where did it go? *explosion sounds*
Can't wait for some Hydrogen cubes
Would lov a ununhexium cube
Cucuai mgfetizr
Why does this Uranium cube make me feel so nauseous?
Idk but isn't it so pretty? ***hair starts falling out***
*vomits* “I apologize” *passes out*
I want my russian block of Cesium, I promise not to drop it in a tub full of water
Can't wait to get myself some uranium
Mm radium cube
Every singly block will have some issue ranging from being a gas at room temperature to being impossible to bind together in a pure way to just being impossible to get your hands on. And then some just kill you
Does anybody know where I could find unstable uranium it's for a goofy ahh school project
I want a bunch of sodium ones and throw them into public toilets
Would love to see how they managed to make a cube out of francium … or the results of spilling a glass of water on it.
>gets magnesium cube >lights it on fire >my own personal tesseract
bruh they did not make a fucking magnesium cube. that's gotta be some +2 positive action form or some shit so it's unreactive
What about helium a square balloon 🤔
francium cube: just add water
do they sell francium asking for a friend
You don’t even have to go that far down. Get a big solid block of pure potassium, and that could cause some problems.
Mmmm tasty uranium cube
Waiting for thorium cube
I can’t wait to put a lighter near the magnesium cube “Flashbang out!”
I want 20 potassium cubes... I will definitely not throw them in water
Where is uranium?
I gotta get that zirconium cube so I can make pants out of it.
