In this video I show you how to make a simple cloud chamber to see radiation particles using only dry ice, a cup, some paper and some alcohol. This experiment is so amazing! You can actually see the traces of the alpha and beta particles that are continually being generated around us. The I show you what I did with the dry ice with my family after!

The radiation particles would be even more visible if you had painted your black paper with the vantablack 2.0 paint you used in another video. Just an idea.

My guess would be that the alcohol isn't able to condense at the same rate as the speed of the particles. It must take a longer period of time for the alcohol to condense, so we're able to see the trail form from one end to the other. By the time the full trail condenses, the particle is probably long gone.

@@zoltan1953 I'm not sure if that's right. It's moving at 5% the speed of light (which btw would be 15000 km per second, not 15 - he misspoke in the video). This would mean that the particle affects all the molecules throughout the trail at pretty much the exact same time. So they should start condensing at the exact same time.

An unaddressed issue with the particle-antiparticle Vacuum - is the idea of self-annihilation. The claim is that, for example, electron-positron pairs 'pop into existence briefly then immediately annihilate.' Is it possible that the particle-antiparticle constituents of the Vacuum are actually more persistent than that? And perhaps their spin and electric charges cancel and the civilian world has no capable measuring devices to detect them? Since we know from the lab that electron-positron annihilation produces gamma rays - if the particle-antiparticle constituents of the Vacuum were as short-lived as is currently believed - gamma rays should be detectable, in abundance, in the Vacuum. And they are not. It's likely that by some mechanism - perhaps a vortex created by the opposite spins of the particle-antiparticle pairs? - that they actually are a bit more persistent, more long-lived, than common physics now believes.

No, our bodies evolved to deal with the level of radiation that's always present in our environment. Your body emits radiation, but it's nothing compared to the level already present in the environment. So if you are thinking sitting next to someone all day will give them cancer, that's not going to work. Fun fact, if you live at higher altitudes, you get exposed to more radiation since there isn't as much atmosphere between you and space. Same with travel via plane. But again, it's all fine since our bodies can deal with that amount.

I know you have the intellect to work with artificial gravity devices that impose coherence on the particle-antiparticle constituents of the Vacuum. Even if you're not aware of this type of tech, I bet you're open-minded enough for such work. Artificial gravity, the cliche' techniques, are these two: 1) a short-duty-cycle very high frequency pulsing is used to cohere and drain energy from the particle-antiparticle 'soup' in the immediate vicinity of the device. 2) a long-duty-cycle, not-pulsed (ie. continuous) high frequency is used to cohere and add energy to the particle-antiparticle constituents in the immediate vicinity of the device The key observations: A) all objects are immersed in the particle-antiparticle 'soup' of the Vacuum B) this 'soup' is not static - it can be modified. The immense number of accelerating charged particles that make up the Earth modify it C) inertial drag is created by the acceleration of charged particles in matter objects D) gravity is a gradient decline in inertial drag You can think of inertial drag as a 'potential energy loss' imposed on any matter object that is accelerated. In Earth gravity, acceleration commences with no inertial drag. Artificial gravity devices: - create an increase in inertial drag using technique (1) above ('hovering' mode) - decrease inertial drag and create acceleration using technique (2) above Gravity is not an attraction. The Vacuum is being altered - the particle-antiparticle constituents surrounding Earth have induced dipoles from the accelerations of charged particles of the planet (the natural accelerations that all atoms possess). By aligning the nuclei and creating resonant oscillations, a pulsed mode increases inertial drag in the immediate vicinity (hovering mode), and continuous oscillations decrease inertial drag (aka create an artificial gravity field). I know you're intelligent enough to digest this. But if you get nothing else, just remember this part: A matter object in the Vacuum that is far enough from any gravity source to make gravity negligible (gravity drops with the square of the distance) - if that matter object is accelerated (say, by firing a rocket for 5 seconds) in any direction, the same magnitude of inertial drag will be present regardless of what direction the matter object is accelerated. In other words, you can think of inertial drag as an "energy-transducing" or "energy-draining" envelope that surrounds all matter objects. What if you could 'pop open' one side of that envelope so that you could accelerate in one direction with LOW or NO ROCKET THRUST? If you could 'puncture a hole' in the 'inertial drag envelope' surrounding the matter object, by altering the Vacuum, you could accelerate the matter object with LESS or NO ROCKET FUEL. That's what gravity is. It is, conceptually, a 'puncture' in the inertial drag 'envelope' that all matter objects are immersed in. You can create such a 'puncture' and eliminate the need for rocket thrust by way of method (2) above. .
