In which degree is this studied?
we are teaching nuclear chemistry in general chemistry now. Friggin
awesome!
My Physics teacher was horrible. He could never get a method across to
anyone. I had to read everything on my own and researched about the lessons
and add more things. I enjoyed it very much.
Imagine a water molecule, saturated with ionizing radiation, bump into
another water molecule that hasn’t been otherwise exposed to ionizing
radiation: what happens to the “clean” water molecule; what happens to the
radiation level in the saturated molecule? Now, multiply that by the
Pacific Ocean. This guy is a propogandist, A Nuclear High Priest, his
students are his offering to his god.
Pretty sickening to hear people laugh about experimenting on kittens,
rabbits and puppies with lethal doses of radiation. Alternative methods are
far more precise and ethical.
the linear no threshold hypothesis is a tad oversimplified, as it ignores
the effects damage can have of the bodies repair mechanisms.
At a certain low enough dose, the repair mechanisms are actually stimulated
in a positive way.
Awesome, introductory lecture. Really sparks the interest and explains in
simple terms.
He is a great educator. I wish other colleges made THEIR PROFESSORS watch
this lecture and learn how to teach. Ingore the subject matter.
See: Joe Harding
I used to watch this 6 years ago, had lots of fun doing it.
Great video =) just discovered his vids – goldmine ^^ =P
@tryceo This is mostly for non-science majors, people that may not ever be
exposed to a lot of science to just get a basic understanding of some
things. I too have known a lot of these things since I was 10 to 13 but I
still found it fairly interesting, and I didn’t know about sieverts and
rems and the other things about cancer, which I really enjoyed learning.
What a fantastic teacher! We need more people like this in all levels of
our education system.
loved this
@lovelplants Its called a Geiger Counter in case your interested.
Simply because of the amount of radiation.
i dont think there is any equivelant to this course. it was designed for
college students who are NOT going to major in physics but would like an
overview, so it isnt part of the physics curriculum. i think if you plan to
major in physics you get thrown into the dungeon to do calculations. no fun
courses for you!
i want to take up BS Physics because of you sir! 😀
wow.. now i wish i had taken science, this guy is gooddd!!!!!
@xos420 I’m afraid not. Wiring for electricity is only about managing the
flow (current) of electrons through a conductor. Elementary particles, such
as electrons, protons, and neutrons have a charge (-1, +1, 0 respectively)
which relates to how they interact with each other. Basically neutrons are
electromagnetically “neutral” which indicates that they don’t interact
using the electromagnetic force with the other particles.
true
This guy is absolutly amazing
Thank God I’m reading Physics in the university. This stuff is super
cool!!!!!!!!!
hi out of interest, what physics qualification is this for? is it something
like a ph.d? and how long does it last?
Here’s one for you. Homeland Security is sewing RADIO ACTIVE ZIPPERS into
american citizen’s clothing who have been charged tryed and convicted in
some kangaroo secret court without one word ever being spoken to them!!
ive learned more on youtube in a month then ive learned after years of
school
