Radiation is one of those words that frightens many people. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains the known kinds of nuclear radiation and their different properties.

    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.

    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."

    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.

    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.

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.
