you can have atoms with a variety of neutrons. this atom here has two neutrons. it would still be the same element if it had three neutrons, but now it'd be a different isotope. isotope is another word for kind of at the nuclear level, okay? so this is the isotope 238. notice that there are many, many, many more neutrons than there are protons. if you subtract 92 from 238, i think you get, what is it, 146? 146 neutrons, but 92 protons. it turns out as your nucleus gets bigger and bigger and the same get further and further apart, you need more nuclear cement. you get the elements up to about 20. look in the periodic table and you'll see the atomic mass is always about twice the atomic number, see? when you get up at about 20, you get equal numbers roughly of neutrons and protons, but above 20, you need more nuclear cement and then you get-- you find your atoms have more neutrons. when we talk about-- oh, by the way, we have a little model here of the helium, the helium atom, inspired and brought here by paul casey. and what this is, we have a two protons, two neu

there's extra neutrons, makes it bigger. that's why i look at neutron, the nucleus is bigger and as you mentioned there, paul, more unstable and away you go. so these things are radioactive by-products, good or bad? oh, it depends. usually bad. what are you gonna do with them? okay. these are emitting radiations themselves. so that's a hassle and we're all familiar with the radioactive waste problem. but you know what, gang? there's a brighter side to the whole story of nuclear power. instead of talking about losing mass by going down-- this is like an energy hill, you read that in the textbook? think of it as an energy hill. you're rolling down the hill, you're picking up energy. that's what you're doing. you're kinda losing mass and that mass that you're losing so to speak, is what? goes off as energy. but here we have right in the middle, what's this element right here, gang, in the very, very bottom? iron. iron. and that's atomic number 26. how about over here? how about you taking an element like right about here? how a

fusion which means that the fuel you doesn't emit any neutrons and that's good because that means we don't have any radioactive waste the physicist discovery b.c. will change the world for ever energy poverty you know wars over resources if we switch from a resource based energy to a knowledge based energy like fusion we can begin a whole new set civilization for humankind our machine fits in a garage sized space and an actual generator could just sit in the neighborhoods garage or near the high voltage transmission system and the power in one thousand homes some would call this utopia the jersey scientists say the key problem is money huge and research seems to be funded by the government through nots up until a decade ago when investments were terminated the scientists say it's because their technology could put oil and gas companies out of business certainly there's a lot of suspicion in the fusion community. you know the government simply isn't funding this because there's too much interest in keeping the price of oil and gas and when and how are we going to make it happen is the

have systems that will greatly increase our capabilities of all of our vessels hall of the gamma and neutron detection systems, backpacked non-insistence so we can detect a list of sources of radiation. we can tell what type of nature is, and personal radiation detectors that will allow us to transmit data and video pictures and to land-and based capabilities to identify and help us determine if it is going to be an undetermined source of air and water. and with our partners, they can tell us what that is an something that we might need to investigate further. and what this system is, it amounts us -- it allows us to mount six mounted cameras and that will have low-light video sources recorded on the hard drives, and it will allow us to transmit that video signal real time back to our land-based units. possibly of nefarious activity on one of the infrastructures, will also be able to communicate that data stream back to other vessels hunted with the same system of relay antennas to they can see what picture we're looking at and not have to bring assets to bear unless in calls for that situat

other every all of the other evidence of weapon ization high explosive words playing around with neutron igniters playing around with getting caught with blueprints that are specific to nuclear work you walk into a architectural office and you see blueprints for a building and you see them playing around with parts for a building and you see them courting the materials outside the window to create a building and then you turn around and. you say are you building the building and they're like no we're just playing around with these in case we want to build a building it's not credible they're devoting a lot of time and frankly i think suffering a lot of sanctions any of us go geneve go ahead jump in. i'm very raises a central point which is. i mean mr marandi is not being all that forthcoming i mean the iranians already know you guys know we're going to go to what were you there anybody will have a chance to react to everyone after our short break we'll continue our discussion on the latest the ram talks today are. you. still. want. to. if. gave. him by. download the official. i phone the

stories to become a neutron of the next ukrainian prime minister has been put off until late may due to her absence. who's accused of financial irregularities when she heard of the gas company the nine hundred ninety s. refused to attend the hearing citing health concerns he's an ex he had a shift explains. not only believes that this case against her is completely politicized and orchestrated by the government she even reportedly went on a hunger strike to support the claim but also in the latest twist she claims that she was physically abused by wardens in the prison where she spends her prison time now that happened when she was to be transported to a clinic to have her reported spinal hemorrhage treated she believe she claims that the wards covered her and blanket and landed several punches in her hand this week a photos of her bruises were made public on the internet certainly made a lot of noise here in ukraine and internationally now on the other hand there was a video published as well showing tymoshenko walking three in her cell as if denying the claims that she has severe b

weapons some version of the neutron weapon potentially is being developed by the iranians and what we've learned is that they develop these things because they see it as a means of survival let's look at libya some as moammar gadhafi gave up his weapons he got taken out so we we set up a bad lesson here for those countries who want to develop these things to deter us getting action against them and increase their ability to have regional dominance and i think that's what we should be focused on not the taliban regarding afghanistan now i watch that that makes a lot of sense right the more weapons you have to play with the more respect that you get on the global stage in that sense i want to ask you two questions i got news this week about this new defense kind of service that supposed to be working basically with the cia it means that i guess the defense department going to be able to retain more of their employees because it's also going to be thinking refocusing on africa they're going to be focusing on asia you were part of what you called the precursor to this program to tell us what

they're testing neutron generators. these guys are absolutely serious about acquiring a weapon, and the west at the same time is doing nothing except talking. so the bottom line is that america and the west have to show plausible, a plausible threat if we want to have any chance of stopping iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. megyn: and yet there is, obviously, real controversy in the thought of israel and/or the united states bombing iran over its nuclear program. and both sides that participated in these falks with iran -- talks last week with iran described the meeting as, quote, positive. so to those who would say that's good, let's have another meeting at the end of may and give peace a chance, you say what? >> well, it seems that the west is sort of like a tourist in a persian bazaar, a very gullible one. i want to tell you how the iranians perceive the west. let me read you a quote from the main iranian newspaper, and i quote. the u.s. keeps backing down from its red lines. if we plot the u.s. positions on a gra

it turns out there's two neutrons here too. and you know what? you know what's gonna happen to this space over here? take one guess. everyone. everyone. this charge out here now sees two protons tugging on it. how many say, "it'll be pulled into a tighter orbit"? how many say, "no, no, no, it'll stay the same"? how many say, "no, it'll be pushed further away"? check your neighbor. -- how many say it's gonna be tighter? yay, that's right. and it turns out, for a helium atom, the helium will hold the electron tight. and furthermore, it will hold another one too. the fact it holds another one makes it a little bit bigger, okay, 'cause they're repelling over here. but a helium atom is smaller. it turns out a helium atom won't gang up with any other atom, so there's no such thing as a helium molecule. we have two positive charges right next to each other like that, how do you deal with that? why don't those two positive charges repel? why don't they repel? look how close they are. they're right up against one another? why don't they repel? and let me
