Fermiy

Fermiy is a fictional entity appearing in the animated television series Futurama. It is not a real-world concept or a recognized scientific term. Within the show's narrative, Fermiy is depicted as a planet composed entirely of the element fermium, a highly unstable and radioactive transuranic element.

The planet Fermiy is notably featured in the episode "The Deep Space Homer". In this storyline, the crew of Planet Express is tasked with transporting a large quantity of fermium to a dangerous location. The inherent instability of the planet's composition poses a significant threat, as any disturbance could lead to catastrophic explosions. This characteristic is central to the plot's comedic and dramatic elements, highlighting the dangers of dealing with extremely radioactive materials and the absurdities of space exploration in the Futurama universe. The portrayal of Fermiy serves as a narrative device to create conflict and humor, playing on scientific concepts for fictional purposes.
