the electricity that's clean and base load. But in those processes, they'll be making fuel that could be one day used for atomic weapons, for nuclear weapons, and they were worried that, that the growth of this enriched uranium, think about the centrifuges, that having a lot more centrifuges happening all over theworld would lead to more weapons, at least the possibility of it. And so they are pushing us as fast as possible, go build
a bit better. But really, it took until the 1930s when physicists were really studying quantum physics, atomic physics that we understood what actually makes a material magnetic.And once all of those things happened, our ingenuity and innovation and what we can do with magnetism is, like,
We have to go to photonic transistors, molecular transistors, protein transistors, DNA transistors, atomic transistors, photonic transistors.We physicists are looking at all sorts of alternatives to silicon.
So the GPS, like that map I showed you, requires precise timing afforded by atomic clocks. Atomic clocks, themselves, has the word atom right in it, so obviously, quantum physics plays a role in that.There is a medical scan there.
But it's hard to really know-- despite all the resources out there, it's hard to know what it takes to produce a book if you're doing it all for the first time. Atomic transactions I had to leave out pretty-- there's a mention of them, but it's sort of a hand-wave that says, they
That's, like, super funk. Atomic Dog, yeah, something like that.
that you could and I think that it's also important that we highlight some of the potential of humanity.So I did put in the movie you know this connectedness that's led to the atomic bomb and all this news, but we didn't blow ourselves up and we could've.And I ultimately believe in the human species.I believe we're moving the needle forward.The fact that I'ma woman director up here right now means that women's rights happened that meant so many things had to happen for me to be sitting here.I'm a Jew, my family almost died, you
theory of particles called quarks which uh are inside the particles inside the atomic nucleus there are six types of quarks there are particles called leptons of which the most familiar oneis the electron which makes up the outer parts of atoms and Carries electric currents through
But around the same time that Einstein was coming up with his special theory of relativity, physicists began observing some strange phenomena in atomic physics that were overthrowing all of these classical assumptions. First of all, they noticed that when looking at the energy levels of subatomic particles, like electrons, they weren't continuous at all, they were discrete.
taking the most common elements in the universe: hydrogen and lightweight isotopes of hydrogen and helium, and fusing those together to make heavier elements. In that process, as you combine atomic nuclei and form heavier nuclei, those nuclei are slightly lighter than the sum of the parts. And that comes from a lot of the details of quantum mechanics and how those fundamental particles combine and interact.
I had never, ever created a work of this size or pages at the rate that were now required. the atomic bomb became the norm.
And the structure for it is the team. The atomic object of a culture of learning is the team. Right? That's the smallest step we want to go.
Mike, you expressed concern. of atomic and nuclear physics.
male #1: Professor Dawkins, thank you very much for coming and I'm a great admirer of your work and as yourself a proud atheist. The atomic theory model of, say of, Niels Bohr, which is sort of a solar system model
them and certainly not the people um we're born of the Manhattan project of the atomic bomb before them then they perhaps had a different name but they really didn't exist because this idea of secrecy came into being um with the Manhattan Project and the interesting
that you wouldn't even feel. of numerous atomic bombs.
- So in fusion, you take these lightweight isotopes like hydrogen and deuterium, and as you combine them and get them closer and closer together, some really interesting fundamental physics happens. So first these atomic nuclei are charged. They have an electric these atomic nuclei are charged. They have an electric charge, and they like charges repel. And I think everybody is familiar with that, where you take two positive charges, and you try to push them together, and the electromagnetic force between them repels them. So
And the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the UN agency responsible for preventing proliferation, has come out again and again over many, many years
at the International Atomic Energy Agency, admitted that that intelligence was brought into the stream by the Mujahedin-e Khalq communist terrorist cult
calculate the probabilities of atomic events, chemical events with accuracy that is incredible.
have an atomic weight. It's not a physical thing in the world, but the feeling of love or sadness or rage is as
In the case of Atomic Theory, it started thousands of years ago as this idea that everything in the universe was made of tiny, unseeable particles,
It's "The Atomic Human." So what is it-- can you spell it out?
Cold clouds of neutral atomic or molecular hydrogen, and ionized hydrogen near hot young stars-- so there again, we observe these regions
The International Atomic Energy Agency, which is charged with regulating nuclear issues around the world, and also has a role to promote nuclear energy,
They worked in atomic physics, so they were trying to understand what happens to the structure of the atom, and how it breaks down.
She was interested in atomic physics, nuclear physics.
But it's hard to really know-- despite all the resources out there, it's hard to know what it takes to produce a book if you're doing it all for the first time. I think that atomic transaction was probably the biggest piece that I had to take out.
You had the atomic race.
A film like "Atomic Blonde" very easily could have been a male-driven film.
From our atomic structure to the planets and the stars, there is this fundamental design I think that is made of relationship.
It's not atomic enough.
And people used an atomic rocket to get to the moon with water as reaction mass.
The problem with atomic rocketry was two things.
to develop the atomic bomb.
So there are these atomic clocks that we have in Maryland and in Colorado.
It's called an atomic chain reaction.
We measure them with atomic force microscopes on board and then we zap them with little high powered LED or ion guns,
So this is an atomic clock.
The first atomic nuclei when the universe was around a second old, that's when the first atoms began forming.
We also have the atomic museum, because we're pretty close Trinity.
Because those are basic atomic elements of who I am, they give me flexibility.
You can sell the atomic mutated plants at your leisure.
and smaller, and smaller pieces, you eventually come to a piece that no longer is that stuff at all. It's about the atomic theory. It's about chemistry. It's about atoms.
when I found out that area 51's nearest neighbor is an atomic bombing range America's only Atomic bombing range I was I I was very fascinated by that because I thought here you have Area 51 um in the Public's mind in the 21st
Google but I couldn't get any support supporting documentation and so I was at a library of the atomic energy commission um out now called Department of energy out in Nevada and I had I had had put a request in for a lot of this these documents about this dirty bomb test and lo and behold no one was able to find those
expensive processes that gave atomic precision control over matter. And that had huge environmental
couldn't have an atomic nucleus you couldn't stick together protons and neutrons they would smash into other nuclei and they would break apart but
smaller than a certain amount the smallest distance that we have probed in our Laboratories roughly a 100th the size of an atomic nucleus if but if we calculate the amount of energy in space due to fluctuating Fields like the electromagnetic field and the gravitational
The third potential atomic issue that I think you face and that I think you have not been as sensitive as you might have been was -- is
