Strong Interaction: The Four Fundamental Forces of Physics #1b
Hank continues his primer on the strongest of the four fundamental interactions of physics, the strong interaction. Today he talks about the nuclear force and a force carrier called a pion....

Hi! Today we're gonna continue talking about one of the four fundamental forces of physics, the strong force, which is so awesomely strong that it's taking two episodes for me to describe it to you, so if you haven't already, I highly suggest watching the first one. [whispers] I don't... know what's up with this. Don't worry, we'll both be here when you get back. [Intro] Now, hopefully you can tell by its name that the strong force is strong, but how powerful is it? Well, it's powerful enough to make this happen. The fact that helium exists, or even, y'know, any atoms exist, is a pretty big deal, and it's important to understand why. You look at an atom of helium. Its nucleus is made of two protons and usually two neut...
