Why Does Everything Decay Into Lead
If you look at a copy of the periodic table, you might notice that basically every element after lead is labelled as radioactive. And the vast majority of those elements wind up decaying into some version of lead eventually. But why is...

Electroweak Theory and the Origin of the Fundamental Forces
Our universe seems pretty complicated. We have a weird zoo of elementary particles, which interact through very different fundamental forces. But some extremely subtle clues in nature have led us to believe that the forces of nature were...

How to Tell Matter From Antimatter | CP Violation & The Ozma Problem
This video was made with the support of the Heising Simons Foundation. This video is about the Ozma problem of distinguishing the chirality (ie left-handedness or right-handedness) of matter using weak interaction processes like beta...

Conservation of Nucleon Number
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the nucleon number and charge is conserved in all nuclear reactions and radioactive decay. Fission, fusion, alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay all conserve the number of neutrons and...

Half-Life and Radioactive Decay
In this video Paul Andersen explains how a radioactive nuclei can decay by releasing an alpha, beta, or gamma particle. The exact moment of decay for each nuclei can not be determined but probability is useful in predicting the...

Nuclear Reactions, Radioactivity, Fission and Fusion
Radioactivity. We've seen it in movies, it's responsible for the Ninja Turtles. It's responsible for Godzilla. But what is it? It's time to learn exactly what nuclear reactions are, and what it is that makes atomic bombs so destructive,...

Half-Life _ GCSE Physics
When a radioactive atom goes through alpha or beta decay, the atom itself changes into a different element. For example, carbon-14 decays to nitrogen-14 when it emits beta radiation. It’s impossible to predict when an individual atom...
