million degree temperatures. And temperature really is kinetic energy. It's motion, it's velocity. So that these particles are moving so fast that even though they're coming together and there's this repulsive electromagnetic force , they can still come close enough that another force comes into play, which is the strong force. And then once you getwithin a very close distance on the order of the scale of those nuclei themselves, of those atomic nuclei. So the tiniest thing you could
According to the standard model, all the fundamental particles are originally massless, like photons, the particle carrying electromagnetic force , also known as a particle of light, whose speed in space-time is the maximum allowed speed,the speed of light.
force. Uh, there are four fundamental forces of the universe. There's the gravitational force which keeps us here, the electromagnetic force which lights up our our world, and the two nuclear forces. We want a theory that explains all four. You know, when people watch your interviews and they read your books, what do you think is the fundamental
electroweak force is real. The way we make it so that there is now an electromagnetic force and a weak force is the force-carrying particle of electromagnetism has no mass. The force-carrying particle of the weak force has a mass." And so what was done is a field was
variety of means, physical means, those particles. You push them together. The most common is called laser inertial fusion. does spin. That electromagnetic force is what is spinning that armature. In our case, we're inducing an electrical force in that electromagnet, and that's putting an electrical current,
quarks and one up quark and they are also held together they are held together by gluons gluons are the strong nuclear force analog of the photons of the electromagnetic force So within nature you see this pattern played out over and over again there are different levels of structure where you have particles that are Fons taking up space held together by bons carrying
variety of means, physical means, those particles. You push them together. The most common is called laser inertial fusion. force is what it's technically called. This electromagnetic force induces an electrical current on the armature, on the shaft. This is getting into the details, but in
is the electron which makes up the outer parts of atoms and Carries electric currents through wires uh and then there are other particles that carry forces like the electromagnetic force and the weak and strong nuclear forces uh this Theory works it is not in
- Yet. No, I'm just kidding. All right. - But we have other forces we get to use. We can use the electromagnetic force , which the sun doesn't get to do, to apply those forces. And I actually want to take a pause right there and point out a word.
All of those things are aspects of the electrical and magnetic phenomena that very much rule our lives, or certainly have a big part in our lives. And yet all of this variety of phenomena are down to one single force, the electromagnetic force which can be described in physics using a very condensed and very simple, in a sense, expression.
atom because the electrons are light they puff out and most of the space in the atom is taken up by these electrons that are moving around now why are the electrons stuck to the nucleus because of a force the electromagnetic force that is holding holding those electrons to the neutrons and protons and therefore there are photons that are passing back and forth in between the
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 you have a force that's actually pushing against them. So in fusion, you work to get your fuel very hot, very, very high temperatures, 100
variety of means, physical means, those particles. You push them together. The most common is called laser inertial fusion. Hit the gas, electricity flows from the battery into the motor into those windings, and it generates an electromagnetic force . A Lorentz
variety of means, physical means, those particles. You push them together. The most common is called laser inertial fusion. just like in the armature, into that plasma. And we can use that force to do interesting things. So that electromagnetic force can compress the fusion plasma. It can expand the fusion
