Einstein's Equation of Life and Death part 5

[marty3212000]

where did the ball of energy originate from?

[shiva369]

@marty3212000 Find the answer to that and you'll get yourself a Nobel prize!

[rudresh1893]

it is coz co2 is not that easy to trap and it in trapped form it occurs as compound

We take radioactive elements such as Uranium 238 to perform nuclear fission because you need an unstable element to start the reaction. A stable element, with the little disturbance a neutron provides, dosent break apart and release energy. You need something already unstable and you disturb it even more so it can split apart, releasing energy and making another element.

[iamawaco]

@iamawaco The sun dosent go through nuclear fission, but nuclear fusion, which requires ALOT more energy and heat to do.Also, reactions stop simply because of the lack of further carburant to feed the reaction.

The basic behind all this seems quite simple, but it is not. You can't simply use anything to do anything with it. They need to slow down neutrons by ALOT to actually be able to say theres a high chance of the nuclear reaction to take place.

Theres a difference between between fusion and fission. Fusion is the fact of forcing 2 atoms together to create another, releasing an insane amount of energy. Fission is splitting an atom in 2 others (like the nuclear bomb and nuclear energy)

[thomasfahey07]

why does the a-bomb not continue to destroy the whole planet? it stops eventually... WHY?!?

[95efren]

bullets kill people, nuclear weapons abolish cities, but thoughts of massive destruction and war never die soo whos the real threat here??

[infoherper]

@ChaosDynamics I agree but I still stand firm on the conclusion that the USA was merely stopping Hitler from going on a three year old tantrum with nuclear missiles and shit. It was basically a race to nuclear power that won the US the war

[duubamg]

Problem is that some instable countries such as Pakistan, Israel and North Korea are said to possess such a weapon. Worring.

[mictlanblume]

it  wasnt caused cause of the E=Mc2... that was cause for a bunch idiotic sick power politicians from U.s.A

[infoherper]

@mictlanblume yeah? what about the germans? Wasnt hiteler power hungry? USA was merely stopping them. thats what i think anyway :/

[mictlanblume]

@infoherper usa is quite hungry of power too, always, and the couldnt take that germans were about to conquer the world hahaha, funny but truth, i doubt that usa cares about the rest of the  world, that s why they never signed kyoto s deal

[abcd321839955]

@infoherper ... I don't understand. How does this differentiate Nazi Germany from the then US Govt?

Even after Nazi surrendered, US used the bomb to end the war quickly... If Germans would have used it, don't you think that they would have given the same excuse? ... Sounds to me like a pathetic excuse of having fun in pulling the trigger!!

[talitakoomi]

@abcd321839955 The simple truth is that the Japanese, because of a strong nationalistic ideology, coupled with a very low value of human life, would never have surrendered. Though they were sustaining terrible losses, they were calling upon everyone, even old people and women with sticks, to prepare for an invasion of mainland Japan. Untold hundreds of thousands would have died on both sides. Even after the 2nd bomb the generals did not want to surrender, and the emperor had to call it.

[farshad94abedi]

ironic how the formular for destruction is also the formular of creation, lol, by the way, if it is possible for the sun to perform nuclear fussion of a hyrogen atom, an atom that consists of 1 electron and 1 protron, and nutron(s), then y r we using such unstable atoms to perform nuclear fussion?, y dont we use CO2, break it down, and use the attoms in that to perform nuclear fussion, it would be much more cleaner and we would get a lot of energy wile at the same time takin CO2 from the atmosph

[tomte47]

@farshad94abedi "then y r we using such unstable atoms to perform nuclear fussion?" The uranium bombs/plants use fission - break heavy atoms apart, the sun use fussion- smack light atoms together. Problem with fusion is that you need to heat the hydrogen to 100+ million degres for that to happen. So heating up and holding the material is a problem in reactors.

In hydrogen bombs they solved it by using a fission(uranium) bomb as an igniter to reach the insane temperatures needed.

[farshad94abedi]

@tomte47 thanks u, lol, if i wer u, i wouldnt comment on something that someone posted like 2 months ago bro, lol, cos they prob dont care by then, lol, tanks any way :D

[Scelenaarwen]

@farshad94abedi i belive it is becouse the process in the sun is nuclear fission in witch atoms have such a high tempreture ( move so much) that they rub against each other releasing energy, and fission plants prototypes are being build in france atm but its quite diffrent from fussion nuclear reactions, and i belive its becouse CO2 is far more stable then the radioactive materials aka needs more energy to besplit

[farshad94abedi]

@Scelenaarwen well einstine told us of the great amounts of energy in every atom, well then if thats the case, then y cant we use that enery? E= MASS x c^2 yea? which means that anything has a great amount of energy in it. also, the sun gets its energy from smashint 2 hydrogen atoms into each other, connecting them to make them into helium. this releases a large amounts of energy. there for, if the sun gets its energy from such light atoms, then we can use heavir substances, like CO2 2 do D same

[Scelenaarwen]

@farshad94abedi "well then if thats the case, then y cant we use that enery?" the theory shows it CAN be done the challange is HOW it can be done, remember we'r talking about giving an atom high enough amounts of energy so it will split or heating it up to millions of decrese so that they connect, and al lthis has to be done in a controled envoirment with more energy coming out of the system then getting in, and its being worked on

[Scelenaarwen]

@farshad94abedi well sry for my uneducated comment last year :D now i can tell you that nuclear fussion is not yet achieved, the experiments in iTER are aiming to stabilize the high tempreture plasma that runs the whole process. But to fuse Carbon or Oxigen you need EXTREEEEMMLLYYYY high tempretures. Nuclear fusion is done with light elements because they fuse at lower tempretures releasing energy. Search for the life cycle of a star and u'll understand the difficulty of fusing Co2 compared to H

[dsac6007]

@farshad94abedi thats sad.

[farshad94abedi]

@dsac6007 O_o ur sad :P

[RhydianTJ]

@farshad94abedi No no no no

fussion is the "fussion" of two molecules, so we need one stable, and one unstable to create it

[prophexii]

@farshad94abedi

--maximizer101--

im not sure though...but i think it is bcoz that molecule you have mentioned, CO2...couldn't break down any further into compounds with smaller atomic number...unlike Uranium...

I think they really need a radioactive element to perform nuclear fission....

[farshad94abedi]

@prophexii given that im simply not gona bother ti read through all my prev comments again, as someone pointed out b4, fussion, however is possible. it would prob be much safer to use CO2, break it appart so ud have carbon and breathebal oxygen ( O2 ), from which we could release the o2 into the atmosphere or use it for other chemical reactions and from hense use the retrieved carbon for fussion, instead of burning it again. this process is done on a much more simple stage (H into He) in the sun

[JRAUSTIN94]

i wish he was my grandfauther so he could help me be smarter then a high school and college

[noodoo19]

that's pretty arrogant Albert... only 1 mistake in your life? hmm...

[duubamg]

@noodoo19 He certainly means GREAT mistake, not an ordinary one that everybody makes.
