Will We Ever Time Travel? Scientists Say ‘No’ Based on This New Discovery
Scientists found an atomic nucleus shaped like a pear, and it is completely changing our understanding of physics. Is There a Limit to How Small Life Can Get? - https://youtu.be/B5fTn4IHQbc...
==========
So, this is probably what you think of when you picture an atom, right? The thing is, the central part of this model is just plain inaccurate. Scientists recently found the nucleus of some atoms don’t look like this at all, and it’s causing a ruckus because well, this newfound shape straight up shouldn’t exist. When you learned about atoms in school, you probably learned about a couple of different models-- and one thing was likely always the same- the nucleus was spherical. But it turns out that might’ve been too simple. Atomic nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons that are held together by the Strong Nuclear Force (one of the universe’s fundamental forces), and based on this, one might assume they’d be more or less spherical. In reality, ...
