From what is this? Also why did I think "deep rock galactic"?

@@MidvightMirageThis is from the Lord of the Rings series. In it, the dwarfs unleashed a monster.

​@@tomcollins5112 It's more appropriate to say they woke a sleeping monster as the Balrog lived in the deep dark places and wasn't actually imprisoned.

@@JoeShmoismI thought the dragon Smaugh made them flee, what did the Balrog do? Were these two separate dwarf states?

@@someball. The Balrog was what the dwarves digging in moria woke up. It's the creature Gandolf fought at the bridge in moria. Smaug is the Dragon that drove the dwarves out of the lonely mountain then attacked the human settlement at lake town. 2 different creatures, 2 different stories, 2 different dwarven settlements.

Thank you!

I didn't know the Japanese were working towards nukes too. I knew the Germans were, but not the Japanese.

@user-lp3cf5yn5b Probably because the Japanese didn’t get anywhere near as close as the US and Germans did

@@Sniperboy5551Which is probably just as well. Because it would have greatly increased the risk of nuclear weapons being used by all sides.

@Sniperboy5551: The Japanese definitely had smart scientists, who understood the meaning of the latest research, and could try to repeat and even push the boundaries of nuclear physics at the time. However, they were limited by resources and communications of ideas, due to the war. Their government put nuclear research at a lower priority. After the war, some of their scientists went on to resume ground-breaking research in nuclear physics.

THank you!

Yeeee

Thats a good comment

There is a debate? That would be horrific news for mankind.

Right? I never knew it was ALL OF US saying it wrong.

Yes, Americans say *ah-loo-mihn-uhm*, everyone else it seems says *al-ooh-min-yum*

Standard chemical supply houses decided both pronunciations were correct literally decades ago. only fools fight about things already practically decided.

Thank so much!!

Agreed!

+1

it is a good video

The physics is interesting, but the history of the process of making the discovery itself I find makes it much altogether more interesting and meaningful.

Woohoo!

unfortunately maths without a physical interpretation is masturbation... leading to infinite densities and zero volume objects...too much SciFi in the science.

Physics does not come down to math. Math is simply the most elegant language to describe physics.

Thank you for the kind words and for watching!

Yes echo that But the take out is the liquid drop model is "more real than imagined" (was that the quote?) and I think this is a learning point regarding how far physical analogies can be pushed... The development of "surface tension" is encouraged by the electron cloud (more pull toward the surface) and resisted by the proton-neutron ratio (more neutrons mean less push to the surface) ...so I was fascinated to see how these great scientists all refer to proton count, Z, (and ipso facto the electron count) in the formulae... ... There is surely some merit in a part two which takes the strong and weak nuclear forces (discovered I think after your timeline in this vide ends) and explaining how the nuclear oscillation water drop holds or does not hold under even more scrutiny? Thank you for a great video

How about supporting the thumbnail claim that implies that the thermonuclear weapons could "end all life on the planet" with mathematics? Or do I now need to make a video supported by math that demonstrates this idea to be utterly untrue, because otherwise researching topics like that in the scholarly and academic section is an impossible task for an average modern human? 🤔😏

@@NEKRWSPHEREDo I need to point out that everything after the ‘because’ is a non sequitur?

1. You don't need to do anything you don't want to do, and everyone yourself included is entitled to one's (however uninformed) opinion. 2. Yes, you definitely had the need to ask me the question which you have already answered for me by asking it in the first place, and for which you didn't need my consent. It's hardly different than: " - Can I ask you a question? - You already have, haven't you?". So it's a bit funny to me that you'd choose to even mention formal logic. Are you certain you actually know what "non sequitur" is and whether it's even appropriate to mention in application to something lacking premises followed by a conclusion? Such as a joke? As for my part: I don't have to follow formal logic when making a joke, nor do I have to tie one to any of my premises directly. Nor is either a requirement, otherwise close to 50% of great humor would simply cease to exist altogether, which would be a very sad result, far more awful than me wasting over 5 minutes of my life on this video because of a deceitful thumbnail. @@frankathl1

Awesome - hope you like it.

@@WelchLabsVideooh my gosh, I miss you so much. I was watching your videos in high school and you inspired me to major in Computer Science and I’m now a Tech startup owner. So happy to see you back!

Yessss!!! It was excellentt!!

Awesome thanks for watching!

...which once again brings us back to Einstein: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

Thank you!

Thank you!

I agree 100% ! This history and the science behind it is so well explained in this video that it should be shown in physics classes.

Woohoo!

Indeed. Throw back appreciation to The Times editors for including the in-depth coverage of the discussions on "discoveries of the last quarter century of atomic transmutation" that took place between Rutherford, and others, at The British Association, 1933 - which Leo Szilard was so easily able to read in a daily newspaper. The full article can be read on The Times archive (£1 trial paywall) September 12, 1933 edition, search ref Rutherford. It's a fascinating read. Then insert your own comparison between the masses of pointless crap on KZfaq and the dumbing down of the modern press

Thank you!

I know right!

As a physics student, we honestly use stuff like computers as enough of a crutch that our ability to just pop stuff off the top of our head is not so good as it used to be. And for modern discoveries, this use of computers is often mandatory, because of the insane complexity of the integrals in particle physics, or of many body quantum systems in condensed matter/material science, etc

THank you!

Woohoo!

THank you!

seems like that one took him 4 years to make 😉

Thank you!

Will add to my list of potential topics!

Thank you!

I know right!

More on the way 😁

Thank you!

Nice!

Wow, thank you!

I was doing the exact same thing yesterday, what a coincidence!

Theres an english wikipedia article? Like UK mfs??

...Otto Hahn was a p.o.s to Lise. He betrayed her to the natC's and took credit for HER work. He doesn't deserve the credit given to him in this video.

@@besticudcumupwith202 I don’t think this is the place to discuss that; but the issue doesn’t seem to be that simple as you state it, if we’re to believe in what’s in the article though; also it’s stated there that despite all the history Lise was friendly to him in the end. If I remember it right.

@@05degrees ...Wikipedia has never been a good source for anything. From what I've read she had a thing for him, and didn't want to acknowledge and deal with his betrayals.

Sounds like he morphed the British pronunciation Aluminium with the American Aluminum.

Thank you!

Yay! Thank you!

It's interesting to think about, perhaps for nucleuses that need less of a nudge from a neutron, they split into two roughly equally sized daughter products, but for more stable nucleuses, the extra energy has to be higher to cause more extreme oscillations, and the nucleus breaks at the extreme of that oscillation. I bet Plutonium fissions into, on average, more equally sized elements as it's less stable?

Good thinking

If i remember correctly it's not always Ba and Kr.

i was hoping somebody else noticed that! i was appalled

Welcome aboard!

Yeah! I'm really excited for oppenheimer!

The Oppenhimer movie was a huge dissapointment... Half the 3 hour long film was about his court hearing about his communist connections. Rest was a confusing mess jumping around in time with no warning so you never did know what time it was, what was happening, and why it was happening...
