sure it is. where does the atom get its energy to sustain itself from?

that's good, we wouldn't want you to notice anything important like that.

I guess that's why they like sticking to other atoms
The evolution of an initially very localized gaussian wave function of a free particle in two-dimensional space, with color and intensity indicating phase and amplitude. The spreading of the wave function in all directions shows that the initial momentum has a spread of values, unmodified in time; while the spread in position increases in time: as a result, the uncertainty Δx Δp increases in time.
Not that I want to live forever, but I would like to be around a couple billion years from now.

that's the good thing about nature, it always takes care of unstable things by decaying into more stable things.

for those begging for a source, here's a nice graphic that shows things quite nicely from our lovely layperson wiki

Perhaps it was the pidgeon?
Possibly. Pigeon-love can warp your brain.

From women who drew that energy out of men's chakras, obviously.
