Physics is the key that allows us to understand the world around us, from the most everyday phenomena to the most surprising and complex. In this section of the blog, we will explore the fundamentals of physics with a special focus on everything related to nuclear energy.
To understand how a nuclear reactor works or what happens inside an atom when it splits, we must first understand the basic concepts that explain these reactions. We will discuss topics such as the structure of matter, radioactivity, the conversion of mass into energy according to Einstein's famous equation ( E=mc² ), and other physical principles that make it possible to harness nuclear energy.
But physics isn't just theory; it's also wonder, discovery, and curiosity. Did you know that radioactivity was discovered by accident? Or that there are particles capable of passing through the Earth almost without interacting with anything? Throughout this category, we'll not only explain the scientific fundamentals, but also explore fascinating stories and curious facts that have shaped our understanding of the universe.
If you've ever wondered how energy is produced in a nuclear power plant, why there are different types of radiation, or even whether nuclear energy is really dangerous, you'll find answers here, explained in a clear and accessible way. Physics may seem complex, but when properly understood, it reveals an incredible world of possibilities.
Welcome to the physics section! Get ready to learn, be amazed, and see nuclear energy from a new perspective.
