Nuclear Force Essay

Gravity keeps our feet on the ground and it keeps us from jumping into space; it sends apples to fall on Isaac Newton’s head, and even though gravity is responsible for keeping the planets in their orbit, gravity still only plays a very small part at the atomic and quantum level.

Since atoms are made up of protons and electrons most atoms should collapse into themselves or other atoms, since positive charges and negative charges attract each other together like a magnet.

It is because of a fundamental force called strong nuclear force. The strong nuclear force acts like a bond of sorts, binding or keeping the protons and neutrons together into the nucleus, but the nuclear force doesn’t go past the nucleus. The strong nuclear force is the key part in human survival; if the strong nuclear force ever decided to disappear, life would never cease to exist. This glue, this force, even though it is so small, has enormous power. When the first atomic bomb detonated, but when the bomb detonated, the power that came out of the atomic bomb equaled to about 20 thousand tons of TNT. With that kind of powerful explosion that the scientists unleashed, was the strong nuclear force. By breaking the bonds, the force, of that glue and splitting the atom apart, unbelievable amounts of destructive energy is released. If anyone ever figures out how to control this, we can create unlimited power, as everything we see today is made out of atoms, but there is a large problem, this destructive power is almost impossible to control.

Another force, the weak nuclear force, without it life would be impossible. The weak nuclear force has a large responsibility for the radioactive decay of an atom. Without radioactive decay, radiation would be im...

...From the vantage point of the third dimension, we can visualize the different parts of the plain unified into a single picture. Likewise, the vantage of the eleventh dimension, looking down on the tenth dimension. As we see the crazy spread of five superstring theories as if they are different patches of the eleventh dimension.

There is one major flaw in any version of string theory, that there is no proof that electrons are more than just point particles, let alone strings inside them. Until there is correct evidence that there are stings, string theory is only but a theory, nothing else. To prove string theory, it is going to cost billions of dollars to build microscopes that can peer into the core of electrons to see if this is true. Until that day comes, scientists will argue over each other upon string theory as they try to see who is right and who is wrong
