附原文 After landing on "The Cob Planet", which at first glance seemed like a perfect Earth-like surrogate home, the family notices that everything, even down to the molecular level, is "on a cob". Even atomically, the protons and neutrons of the atoms were in an unnaturally oblong, ovular shape, like a corn cob, with the electrons orbiting normally. Rick as a scientist would know that this is an impossible natural shape for atoms, and that atoms shaped like corn cobs would be immensely unstable and potentially incredibly harmful or dangerous to the family. These unstable atoms would be at serious risk of potentially splitting under their own orbitals and magnetic charges, setting off a planet-sized megaton atomic bomb, which could be an explanation as to why he was so vehemently against staying on the cob planet long-term, ruling it out as an option altogether for the family.
