No Comments! Geez!! Never done a First Comment before!!! Old as this is, it's pretty good for anyone who wants to get a decent idea of how The Atom became useful to us all. Covers all the bases in the proper order, makes sure to include the contributions of some of the less well known names in atomic physics history. Needs little math to describe some aspects, and needs none at all to understand them. Well paced, too, if you ask me. Was kinda' like watching a light mystery or comedy film. Kept my attention all the way through. Hell, I'll give it an A. :-)
A bit of humor..Was Uranium named for Uranus?😅 At 1:40:00 Particle acceleration is directly conveyed, I hope our next generation is ready for population and it's energy requirements. Implications of mutual destruction, and sustainability are in question. May we find resolution.
Q: ) Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing? A: ) Because Magnetism is an attractive force, not a repulsive force ? That's a guess, gravity is also an attractive force. Isaac Asimov in a book thought it was because there were more protons than electrons in the universe ( thus forming matter )
Uchicagoarts can now explain 3D-T Physics format in Geometrical Theoretical Drawing and Perspective Projection Techniques of transverse trancendental sync-duration Superspin Singularity Reciproction-recirculation. (You have to start, and finish, everywhere-when-> somewhere, ie conic-cyclonic logarithmic->holographic wave-packaging?)
😆 NO. The Brits couldn't even come up with their own nuclear bomb without help from the U.S. They tried SO hard to get the help, and we're desperate, because they just couldn't do it on their own. Facts....
"Tcheeuubes"... I ALWAYS get a kick out of it when someone from across the pond pronounces "tubes".... 😂 Edit: BUT, Electron Vacuum Tubes, are "Valves" over there... 🤨 Valves are for plumbing, but not electronics. 🤷🏻
The chemical elements were dubbed "atoms" before it was discovered that they are composites. By that time the popular usage was too well established to change it.
The only problem on this is, the us choose the not so efficient way to enreach uranium and was able to build the electronic for it. Fission reactors, electric propulsion, atomic propulsion engines missiles, rockets, EMPs, helicopters are all developments done in europe between. ww1 & ww2 with the target to be autark from oil. the invented synthetic rubber, synthetic oil, synthetic fuel, they. build new ways to come to energy, build new plants using water to generate electricity. also aerodynamic engineering, forged industrial steel forming and constructions with steel concrete, where results on forcing the chemical industry and supporting technical engineers too create their visions. the part of the allies was to steal all this things, test & reverse engineer it, use it in military top secret projects but hide it as long as possible from the public to defend the money printing fossil energy industry and the world economy & global fincial system based on the „petro-dollar"
I agree. But certainly not with everything. I have now seen enough evidence to follow the portion on how pre-Nazi/Nazi Germany was MUCH further along in nuclear weapons research and development than we've been told for 70 (and more) years. Scary thought there. But the US stole no more 'intellectual property' from Germany and Eastern/Western Europe than what would be considered normal 'shady dealings' between nation-states all throughout history. As far as WARTIME is concerned, well, all bets are off. Intelligence/data gathered during wartime by ANY means is just flat-out how the world WORKS. That's my first point, but it needs to be put in context, and that context is NOT, by any means, limited to the time period during which Nazi Germany became a richer, healthier nation-state. In other words, the period between roughly 1933 and 1939. The period during which Hitler and his political machine turned Germany around 180 degrees, reversing the horrible condition the German economy was left in after WWI. Making real, economically valid changes in the way the German nation controlled it's resources. Except for the isolationist policies, which were un-sustainable in the long term. Germany lacked the natural resources necessary to remain isolationist. This is a large part of why Hitler thought he was going to rule the world. By making it ALL Germany. No more isolationism when you're the only nation-state on the planet. OK, the context that 'intellectual property' existed in MUST be mentioned to dispute the ridiculous assertion that the US somehow stole all it's knowledge from friggin' Nazi Germany. Eastern/Western European scientists and academics **they were FAR from all being German nationals or even citizens.** Then, as now, researchers and academics work in universities, government sponsored programs, and private industry, as they have for a couple hundred years. These researchers and academics PUBLISHED their work. They SHARED much of it, as has been the case, again, for hundreds of years. The US didn't need to 'steal' anything from Nazi Germany. We were part of the world of academia and research just as well as any OTHER country on earth. We had our scientists and researchers and academics, and the fruits of their labors, and these guys ALSO published in the various journals, then as now. I could go on, but it would be pointless. The facts are the facts. Yes, Nazi Germany was FAR ahead in their nuclear weapons research than we've been told for a good couple decades. But do your research. Before Germany became NAZI Germany, began to shy away from what had been normal relations with the rest of the world, and essentially moved into 'war is coming' mode, the US and the rest of the world interacted with German and OTHER Eastern/Western European intellectuals, and THEY interacted with the US, in kind. A GOOD portion of cutting edge research of all kinds WAS being done in Eastern/Western Europe, but that's not the same as saying it was all being done in Germany. That's absurd. The US didn't need to steal anything from Germany during peacetime. By definition, we weren't stealing from Germany during WWII, and finally, German and OTHER Eastern/Western European intellectuals WANTED to come to the US AFTER WWII. We didn't steal anything. It was either shared through the normal channels of scientific research, or CAME to the US eventually, anyway.
You have that ALL wrong.... Europe couldn't figure out how to harness the energy from atoms at all. It was the U.S. that figured it out, AND figured out the best way to enrich it. The nations on the European continent were BEGGING the U.S. for the technology to do it. They could ONLY build the bomb with help from the U.S. They tried for years with nothing but failure and got nowhere. Then they got flustered and desperate, and finally got the info from the U.S. It IS what it IS, and THAT'S the way it happened... 🤷🏻

If the definition of an atom is indivisible, and of course I'm paraphrasing. Then why do you classify uranium as an atom if it breaks down?
The definition of an atom is not indivisible , the video just said Dalton was hypothesizing.
The chemical elements were dubbed "atoms" before it was discovered that they are composites. By that time the popular usage was too well established to change it.
