Science & Reason on Facebook: tinyurl.com Physics (Chapter 1): Fission And Fusion. — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com — Consider the earth and a rocket ship which are bound together by gravity. If it takes work or energy to pull them apart, then the binding energy is the amount of energy it takes to completely separate them. Similarly the binding energy in a nucleus is the amount of energy it takes to completely separate the protons and neutrons, (collectively called nucleons.) There are two forces acting inside the nucleus of atoms. The nuclear force — a residuum of the strong force that holds quarks together — is pulling the neutrons and protons together — and the electric charge on the protons is pushing them apart. The strong force is a lot stronger than the electric force at short ranges up to two and a half times the proton diameter, but at larger distances the electric force dominates. This increase in binding energy continues until we get to iron and nickel where the nucleus has about 60 nucleons in it. At this point, the nucleus has a radius more than two and a half nucleons wide, which you remember is the range at which the repulsive ElectroMagnetic Force begins to dominate.. . So as we add nucleons past this point the electric force trying to tear the nucleus apart starts winning and each added nucleon is a little less-tightly bound. — The Cassiopeia Project is an effort to make high …

A film about Dark Matter – Dr Tara Shears explains why scientists think that most of the mass in the universe is made up of something we can’t see and how a new experiment called the Large Hadron Collider might finally tell us exactly what this “Dark Matter” is.

This is a premature celebration of the upcoming discovery of the Higgs Boson, at CERN. The music is written and created by Don Garbutt, with a nod to Gordon Kane, for his inspirational book “Supersymmetry”. All sounds were created on the ARP 2600 analog synthesizer, with performance help from the interactive software program “M” by Cycling ’74. Individual tracks were imaged in 3-D sound with “Protron” software by Crystal River Engineering. Headphones are recommended for the full immersion effect. Vocalizations were performed on keyboard using the Roland VariOS instrument. Thanks to Leif Baker for his “Science News Guy” announcement and his enthusiasm.

For the Beauty that cannot be seen, For the honor of those whose shoulders we stand on, For the hope of those we aspire to become, And for the inspiration of those who will surpass our achievements. Music, beginning Omnibus End Music, Miles
