Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
The article discusses the complexity of nuclear physics compared to atomic physics, focusing on the strong force, nucleons, and quantum mechanics. It mentions the 'liquid drop model' introduced by George Gamow in 1930.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledNuclear physics is complicated compared to atomic physics, because the strong force is complicated compared to the electromagnetic force.
They resemble elastic bags that attract each other.
To begin to understand such a complex thing as a nucleus, people started with approximate models.
