Part 44: The Atomic Bomb's Impact on History

Explaining The Universe on Instagram: "A nuclear reactor is a device that generates energy by controlling a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Inside the reactor core, fuel rods filled with uranium or plutonium undergo fission, where atomic nuclei split apart, releasing heat and neutrons. The heat is transferred to a coolant, often water, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. • #explore #reels #viral #universe #explaining #space"

The device had a yield of 9 kilotons — similar to the Hiroshima bomb — but this time, the detonation occurred beneath the ocean’s surface. Within a second, a dome of water rose over 840 feet into the air. By seven seconds, it had widened to nearly 3,800 feet, sending violent plumes in every direction. By the 12th second, the vertical column began to collapse, while massive water surges co

@olympicasseater69 on Instagram: "Quantum Mechanics is the science of subatomic particles and their behavior patterns that are observed in nature. As the foundation of scientific knowledge approached the start of the twentieth century, problems began to arise over the fact that classic physical ideas were not capable of explaining the observed behavior of subatomic particles. In 1913, the Danish physicist Neils Bohr, proposed a successful quantum model of the atom that began the process of a mor

Legacy on Instagram: "No problem! Here’s the information about the Precision Tests of Time Dilation with Atomic Clocks ⏱ Cr 🔹 What Was Tested? • Time dilation, a cornerstone of special relativity, states that time moves slower for objects traveling at high speeds. 🚀🕒 • This was tested using ultra-precise atomic clocks onboard fast-moving planes and satellites. 🔹 Key Experiments 1️⃣ Hafele-Keating Experiment (1971): • Atomic clocks were flown around the world on commercial jets. • Result: Clo
