What is the weak nuclear force?
I think it's kinda interesting that there's a whole universal force that kinda goes uncommented upon in popular physics. I also don't know anything about the strong nuclear force, but I heard someone say once that it's actually just electromagnetism on a small scale? If there was, like, a good documentary that centers the history and experiments that lead researchers to conclude the existence of these things, that would be helpful. Being able to situate research in historical context really goes a long way to getting my head around a concept.

who fuckin knows physicists be wildin
Strange quarks ? Color charges ? Gluon field strength tensors ?
I mean it's become pretty obvious they're making it up as they go along
From what I understand they decided to get wacky with the terminology because using descriptors that were relatable was screwing up their thinking because there's nothing relatable once you start subbing for atoms.
yeah "spin" and "electron orbits" are not like how we think of them as analogies and it's frustrating to learn things a "wrong" way rather than an incomplete one.
Yes atom means indivisible for example which is hilarious. Proton means first particle which is also hilarious.
astrophysicists should learn from this example
Rotating all of jupiter's moons in my mind.
I don't understand what a singularity is and probably never will.
it's how cowards say "i don't know"
