    Thank you for your most engaging,entertaining and informative video. I'm a 49yo man with Aspergers Syndrome, and Nuclear Physics has always been one of my most abiding obsessions. I didn't have access to a computer until relatively recently-and I'm absolutely gobsmacked about how much one can learn on Wikipedia, YT etc. My only resources before that were text books which, compared to computers, are extremely pedestrian and highly limited with respect to educating oneself. I have a very sophisticated knowledge of important subjects such as History,Politics,Science,Geography,etc. I excelled at school, though I didn't go to University- so I have no letters after my name, but I don't consider that to be an overwhelming disadvantage. Being an autodidact, I have the freedom to study whatever I wish, at my own pace- though my own pace is somewhat frenetic. I've been told that I would excel in Academia and, if I had my time again, I would definitely formalise my education. I have many and varied interests- which is what prevented me from going to University in the first place all those years ago. I am entirely bereft of any artistic aptitude, though I do love writing- which, I'm told, some people regard as a form of art. If that's true, then I'm very artistic indeed. Now that I can access this highly informative technology, I've decided to write a book which, I can assure everybody, will both entertain and inform. In the meantime, I'll focus upon broadening my education- one Nuclear Physics video at a time;-)

      You're most welcome, my friend. Thank you for your fantastically educational and edifying videos. I love learning-it's like a drug to me- I can't get enough of it. I believe that once you stop learning- you stop living. There are certain subjects which I find particularly enthralling, and have no trouble remembering almost every detail with consummate ease. There are, however, some subjects in which I have little interest, such as economics, literature, music- and no matter how hard I try, I can't retain any knowledge or information about them. I love learning via Y.T, it's so much easier- especially with demonstrations such as yours. Thank you again. Richard Hiller.

    Now I just realized why gamma photons have that name. It gives off ridiculous amounts of radioactive decay! To remember it, I think of the flares of blue that occur when they burst (think energy; then releasing). Wish us luck, Mr. Post!
