And I do like that he talked about the Q factor. People often gets the notion that Alpha radiation is next to harmless as even paper can stop that type of radiation. But the reality is that this type of radiation is the one you should be the most careful about. Radon is so scary because it is a Alpha emitting gas. (Beyond the fact that the decay chain can also produce some nasty elements)

Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons. Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons. Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves.
HBOs Chernobyl series just gave radiation videos on KZread a spike in their views 😅

In the Nuclear Navy we had a saying, "You have 4 cookies. One cookie is made of alpha particles. A second is made of beta particles. A third is made of gamma rays. And the forth is made of neutrons. Which cookie do you eat? Which cookie do you hold in your hand? Which cookie do you put in your pocket? And which cookie do you throw away?" This was test knowledge of dangers of the various types of ionizing radiation. The answer is, "You hold the alpha cookie in your hand, the dead skin cells will stop the radiation. You put the beta cookie in your pocket, your clothes will stop the radiation. You eat the gamma cookie, the extreme majority of it will fly away before it can interact with the cells of your body. And finally, you throw away the neutron cookie, they have enough energy to penetrate into your body and cause harm simply by slamming the atoms in your cells."
Oh my goodness, thank you for including neutron radiation! No one ever talks about it! This has been so informative
Don, I love your videos. Don't ever stop making them!
I' ve looked into lots of videos about radiation but this video is the most informative and easiest to understand so far. Thank you so much for your great efforts.
That was one of the best summaries about Radiation I have ever read or seen. Very well done!
Dr Lincoln never fails to keep me hooked on his lectures. great educator
This was such a great video for a non-physicists who wanted to know the summary of types of radiation. Clear and to the point.
I adore your dorky humour. Keep up the fantabulous work!
The Most underrated channel on youtube! Dr.Don Lincoln is great and should be appreciated by everyone~
I LOVE this man. His sense of humour and mannerisms crack me up every.single.time. Great videos with superb to-the-point presentation. You have become my favourite Physics channel!

Excellent presentation, thank you to Dr. Lincoln and the Fermi Labs for producing these videos - these are great refreshers for older engineers like me. Peace be with you, Ciao, L (FoMoCo Engineering)
You have a very calm and clear voice and you explain things really nicely. Thank you.
Thank you for this well thought out video. I really enjoy how everything is put together and presented.
Fantastic vídeo. Thanks for the comprehensive insight on this subject.
Another great video. Thank you Dr. Lincoln.
We want more videos Sir. You are awesome.
God bless people like Doctor Lincoln.
I've been looking for this explanation for some time. Thanks.
These videos are great! Informative and entertaining. And the theme song is catchy :)
GREAT! Make a part 2 of this, please.
Totaly love the Fermilab does and answers a very nice question
Thank you, doctor. I’m taking a hazmat class right now and we’re on radiation. I found your explanation of the different types of radiation to be the easiest to understand so far.
This has been my favorite video on this channel so far....
That is some scary stuff for sure. Thanks for explaining that in such details.
Thanks greatly for this video. I got to work with Milt Finger and Don Kennedy at the old Lawrence Livermore Labs on various ballistics and dirty bomb threats. We came up with new types of shielding for gamma and neutron radiation,at lower cost,weight, and less toxicity than lead.
Thanks for an informative video. As always great work!
Very well explained. Easy to grasp the understanding of the different types of radiation.
Fantastic video. Great info. Thank you!

Actually, I had kinda wondered about this. Thanks, man!
knew the information, still watched and also learned a few new things
Thanks so much for this clear, concise explanation!
The greatest explanation about radiation ever!!!
Awesome explanation sir! Hats off to you!
Great video and leaves me wanting to learn more!
One of few videos, that I understood 100% But great as always :)
I love the way you are explaing things. I am feeling like new love for physics and science.
Would have like to have seen positron (beta+) mentioned as well, since this is medically relevant (such as for positron emission tomography).

I've worked in a nuclear power plant. I had to learn all of what was mentioned in this video, and more, before starting. Craziest job I've ever had by far. I have seen nuclear fuel rods get moved from the reactor to the spent fuel pool, and the new ones added. One of the coolest things was to see what happens when a particle moves faster than the speed of light (in the medium of water). They used a steel tube to remove the rods from the reactor, and you could see how far in the tube the rod was by the blue glow on the outside of the steel tube. It was relatively safe to work there. Per my dosimeter I only received an extra 100 mrem. For those who don't know the average person receives about 550-650 mrem a year from background radiation. On the final day of work before you could leave the facility you had to stand in a machine that checks for internal contamination. If one ate a banana during lunch that day there would be enough radiation in the potassium to set off the machine. The bad thing about that is they wont let you leave with, what has to be assumed as, their radioactive particle. Anyway, I love your videos! Keep them coming.

Man How I love these videos!
I'm guessing the sources used in order are: Americium-241, Strontium-90, Cesium-137, and Californium-252 (stored in that big polyethylene moderator). The 1st is a Ludlum model 43-92 alpha scintillation detector (Zinc Sulfide: Silver-activated). The 2nd is a gas-filled Eberline HP-210 Geiger-Muller tube. I'm not sure what the next two detectors are, but probably a beta/gamma gas-filled G-M tube and a proton recoil neutron scintillation counter.
Thank you very much, great video!
Fantastic video.thanks😀
very comprehensive and intersting. Thanks
Dr. Don...So glad you showed Zilla...and gave a nod to the Sci-Fi comics...many of us grew up in the 1950's when we had real Science Fairs in Jr. High. Many of us read Sci-Fi comics..especially "Journey Into Space" with Adam Strange. Inside, there was always the "Scien-ti-fact" strip which explained something cool, like the aberration of Starlight. Thanks to those comics and "Mr. Wizard" we learned lot. Some of us are so daft, we're still waiting for "Gamera Rays" to be charted from our favorite Rocket Turtle. Love your presentations.. wish you had been our physics teacher in High School. Peace from TX.
Wow!!!! Well done 👍
I'm not in any classes that talk about this sort of stuff but I just wanna watch videos like these for the fun of it and learning a thing or two

Please do a video on Medical Physics and the use of various radiations used for medical purposes (Diagnostic and Therapeutic Radiations), little bit of the role of medical physicist, and the diseases which are cured by radiation. What are radiopharmaceuticals ? What measures should one take if we have a spill of radioactive material in a hospital. Etc.
You are doing well .... please maintain it😇😇😇...
