Nuclear Physics 9: Energy from the Nucleus

A dated yet informative video looking at nuclear energy (mainly fission)(re-uploaded with better sound quality).

@HolaSEN0RITA F*CK YOU GUMBY

[HolaSEN0RITA]

Thumbs up if your watching this for homework!

Einstein predicted the existence of atoms using only empirical observation of polonium on water, and mathematical theories, probably started with applying simple newtonian physics on the 'X' atom mass. Also the neutron was discovered directly from the equations, as an imbalance of mass. Dirac's equation had 2 solutions instead of one, suggesting it could work with matter or anti-matter.

anything used in math, no matter how theoritical, represents a real event

@jemhson I agree, math looks unattractive, and electrical enginneering has way too much of it, but after mastering most of the calculus I realized it couldn't be otherwise, I have become addicted now to the calculus, and it has increased my understanding 100 times over. Everything physicists imagine and invent, is a direct implication of an equation, or just a free-thought that comes from a mathematical problem they had faced before.

@9hello123 yes, gvsfgdf mentioned matter and anti-matter collision.

[9hello123]

@vmelkon while E=MC^2 isn't relevant here, it definitely isn't only relevant in the case of fusion.

[gvsfgdf]

@vmelkon Don't forget matter antimatter collisions too!
