2.17645×10^-8 kg or 1.088225×10^-8 kg

1 Planck mass or 0.5 Planck mass

Those would make black holes with a radius of 1 Planck length or a diameter of said length. The reason nobody knows which is which is because we aren't sure how things are "rounded" at Planck scales

PBS Spacetime plug.

its free on youtube, they're very good at explaining difficult concepts that build on previous episodes. plus, its got good graphics that represent the concepts they're trying to build.

the host is an astrophysicist lecturer, they go as far as they can without having to learn the maths.

Small black holes evaporate faster than large black holes. If you have a black hole with mass as low as 50 neutron masses, it would basically decay instantly, releasing all its energy in a tiny explosion of light and particles. Even a black hole with a mass of 1 kg would only take 10^-16 seconds to evaporate.

Duff, Kelly and Kidd are the most clinically significant after AB0 and Rh. They are not generally reported in blood typing blood tests, instead a "screening" is performed. Here a general test of the presence of the most common antibodies in the patient's blood is done (so not the antigens on the blood cells).

In addition, you can do a "cross match" where donor blood is exposed to patient plasma to check for incompatibility

Just wanna point something out about Fluorine (not fluoride :p)

You’ll find that the even numbered elements tend to be far more abundant than the odd numbered elements. It’s because of the way massive stars use Helium as the basic building blocks of the elements. They can H to He, He to C, start fusing He and C to make O, He and O can make Ne, C and C can make Mg, O and O can make Si ..,

When you start with Helium, which has an atomic number of 2, and you fuse them you get 4, fuse more you can end up with 6, 8, 10, 12 etc, massive stars keep fusing heavier elements and use Helium , and it leaves us with an abundance of even numbered elements. About 10x more than the odd numbered (besides Hydrogen)
