Wednesday December 13, 2023
We have learned that like-charges repel, opposite-charges attract. Then, how are so many like-charged protons confined in tiny nuclei? The answer is that they are held together closely by stronger forces that act between tiny subnuclear particles. When this pent-up energy is released, it can create a nuclear explosion, as depicted in the movie Oppenheimer.
