The simple mechanics of splitting an atom
The mechanics of splitting the atom. This is what Oppenheimer knew and what scientists discovered in the 20th century. Einstein's famous E=mc squared formula can be used to find out how much energy is released when an atom is split. But it's not that easy to split an atom. In fact, the innerworkings of an atomic nucleus is fascinating and requires great understanding of the universal forces. In this video, we will learn about the strong force, why certain elements have atoms that are easier to split and how to harness the energy from doing this. #science #physics #energy #einstein #oppenheimer #quantum
