    I've known all of these things since I was in high school essentially (thirty years ago) but I still watch channels like yours because I can still always learn something or get some nuance. And this time was no different, I never completely grasped why the Strong force is eventually overcome in large nuclei by the EM force, I never caught on to the additive effect of the repulsion of the EM charge of the protons. Once again, you've taught me something and made it very much worth my while to tune in, thanks :)

    Arvin is a brilliant teacher, we need more like him to teach and explain mathematics, science and engineering, with the hope the many young (and not so young) decide to study these subjects.
    Thank you, Sir.

    The breadth of your value as a teacher can not be overstated. Whether I’m revisiting things that are familiar, or those that I am still learning, you are the pulsing magnetar from which the field of information propagates into minds such as mine which, as nature would have it, responds to the field in a different way than the preponderance of others.
    So on behalf of all of those like myself, thank you for your unique attributes that bestow the force carriers of the field such that our minds may be bombarded by the quantum effects of the Arvinton field.

      I spent more than 40 years in the industry. I learned in grad school that the general population consists of four groups of people. The first is a relatively small group in the "Amen Choir", and they are with you on philosophical grounds. A second, larger group is opposed on philosophical grounds, and nothing you say will change their minds. The third and largest group do not think much, do not care much, and if they are swayed at all, it is by whatever they last heard that they can remember. The last and smallest group contain people who know how to think critically and care enough to try to separate fact from fiction. This last group is the only one worth engaging with. You are wasting your time with the rest.

    I find a good way to describe how ridiculously more powerful thermonuclear bombs are (hydrogen bombs) by pointing out, as Arvin says at 11:19, that a hydrogen bomb uses a fission bomb (i.e. the type of bombs used in WWII) as its TRIGGER. Imagine how much force it takes to squeeze the trigger of a gun vs how much damage a gun can do. That’s the kind of separation between the energy output of an atomic bomb vs a hydrogen bomb. Always awe inspiring and terrifying to think about.

    • @WSmith_1984
      @WSmith_1984 Год назад

      Modern science isn't correct.....
      All energy and matter in one simple explanation.... here goes...
      First we have a radio wave all the way to gamma waves which in turn create hydrogen then from there everything is basically a compound of hydrogen and will decay back to hydrogen before turning back to gamma waves.....
      There are no free moving electrons within matter....
      I use this analogy to simplify it in my mind..... imagine a line of people standing a mile long (each person represents a copper atom in a wire) the first person starts a Mexican wave at one end ( the source ) , as the information propagates along the line ( by exciting each atoms magnetic field ) you would see an continuous wave of the peoples arms transferring the charge/information back and forth but the atoms and electrons don't actually move at all.....
      Think about it, from the source where electricity is "generated" to the ultimate end use, there's various breaks in chain of that electricity, it goes through controllers, transformers, all sort of components.... the transmission happens because of the magnetic field strength of the atoms in the wire being increased and decreased, not because of an actual "electron" flowing anywhere....

    Nice, some questions:
    What happens to the Alpha particle hitting e.g. the paper (or any other object)?
    What happens to the Beta particle hitting e.g. the aluminium foil (or any other object)?
    What happens to the gamma radiation hitting some other object?
    Will the object hit by Alpha, Beta particles or gamma radiation also get "radioactive"?

    • @ArvinAsh
      @ArvinAsh  2 года назад +2

      Great question! Alpha particle in a typical nuclear decay does not have a whole lot of energy, and since it's heavy, it has a short range. It may ionize atoms as it passes by them by ripping their electrons away. And it will then typically bounce off an object, much the same way that a helium atom would. A beta particle will simply lose its energy in the atomic structure of the object that it hits, contributing a little bit to the thermal energy of the object. A gamma particle would need to pretty much hit the nucleus of an atom to be stopped, that's why it penetrates so deeply.

    • @CraftyF0X
      @CraftyF0X Год назад

      Ultimatelly, the alpha particle becomes a helium-4 after sufficiently slowing down and getting 2 electron for itself. (this process provides the current helium-4 stock of Earth) The beta particle is just an electron and after losing its kinetic energy due to scattering or bremsthrelung it just hangs around depending on what absorbed it mostly as the part of the enviroment as an ion or in a metal just as member of the electron sea.
      Gamma radiation may cause a photo electric effect with an atom's electron (kicking it out of the atom) participate in pair production (when it interacts with a nucleus but this require certain high energy levels) also may Compton scatters from an electron and lose energy to it. A sufficiently high energy gamma ray can also induce photo fission in a suitable nucleus. Now as I think about it really depends on the gamma energy level and the material it meets, it even can cause neutron emission when it radiates Be-9.

    Dear Arvin, thanks for the explanation - I really appreciated it.
    I have a (stupid) question since I just got my "DINPA" degree - 10 minutes away from going to my Nuclear Physicist one:
    If the Neutron decays into a Proton + Electron + Antineutrino - and the atom gets a new positive charge - shouldn't the (new) free Electron fit a position in the electrosphere and orbit the nucleus of the very same atom? To keep the atom electromagnetically balanced? So why is there beta radiation (made by Electrons)? Why not only Antineutrinos radiation?
    Is there too much energy (too much speed of a particle) in Neutron decay, and the atom can't keep the Electron to itself?

    • @ArvinAsh
      @ArvinAsh  2 года назад

      Great question! Correct that It is typically carrying too much to be captured. However, as you know the universe prefers to have charge neutrality. This does happen because in most materials at room temperature, there are always some ionized atoms and free electrons. These are available to neutralize ionized atoms.

    Belle conclusion Arvin. Peux-tu maintenant me dire quelle est l energie totale maximale que je pourrai restituer à l’univers ? Energie potentielle, ... ? Merci

    What I keep failing to understand is when and what in the real world causes atoms/particles to behave in all the different ways described. It's almost always about how they behave. But where and when is a neutron alone for 15 minutes in the real world, and why. What causes particles to split or become something else? And why? I hope my questions make sense 👍 Thanks a lot for sharing 😊

      The simplest way to think of why a neutron decays is because it is heavier than a proton. This means it has more energy than a proton, and thus it is energetically favorable for it to decay.

      @@ArvinAsh To me if an electron alone decay is due that some how it was teared apart from its partner or from the whole groupe - they belong in pairs and all pairs interconect at the center of such system.

    Curious are we sure that neutrons in the nucleus remain stable and dont just decay then the electron is immediately captured by a proton which would produce an neutrino which would annihilate with the antineutrino originially produced thus making it appear as if nothing changed.

    Really terrific explanations. I've read a fair amount about radiation, but never realized that beta particles come from the decay of a neutron into a proton. I definitely learned a few things today. Thanks for the video!

    So particles decay and decay and decay. Does decay equal entropy? That would made black holes black helium holes?
