The fabled "philosopher's stone" of centuries-old alchemy was always right under our noses-but it wasn't found through chemistry. Nuclear physics shows how one atom can change into another and how some stars are just supersized nuclei. Grab a radiation suit and get ready to go nuclear.
Presented by Lawrence Weinstein

One of the great things about most of The Great Courses (TGC) lectures that I have seen so far, like this one, is that professors, like Professor Lawrence Weinstein, Ph.D. here, bind all the concepts involved together in great talks, you get to see the whole picture, the tree and the forest. When I was in college, we did the calculations, I took tests, exams, finals, but never really had the chance to see things like this, in a holistic way. And TGC do all this in all its courses consistently. I would say that all universities should have this for people to be able to follow up, and to be more connected! Not to mention that we can always revisit these lectures over and over again, for example in search of inspiration, to research any particular topic. They help us to go from the tree to the forest back and forth all the time consistently!
And the best of all is that everyone on the planet has access to this treasure. Greetings from Brazil!
Who came here after watching the awesome masterpiece "Chernobyl"?
Your not gonna believe this, but I am 10 and I can wrap my head around this completely! I’ve been studying nuclear physics for a couple of months now, and this is by far, the best video out of all the other videos I’ve watched that help me with learning
Looks to me like the nuclear death cult already had their way with you.
I intended to watch this video for 20 min. but ended up pressing repeat several times til 1,5 hours had gone. Thanks for putting together a complex subject and presenting it with clarity without unnecessary use of scientific jargon.
Same, except it took me 2 and a half hours, pretty good considering I've never studied this before
This is amazing. I love science and never realized what nuclear science actually is
This was beautiful!
Amazing video. I love the topic but can sometimes zone out to some speakers on the topic. This speaker is very engaging and easy to follow. Great stuff
This is a very well put together video and easy to understand
This is a great video. Deserves recognition
Studying this video over & over until I could repeat every line in my sleep & have wild dreams about improved reactor designs & ways to innovate nuclear energy to make a real positive difference in the world to bring other people clean sustainable abundant energy technology that can make electricity 24/7 for 10 billion people for thousands of years. #Nuclear #Energy #NuclearEnergy the future of all energy!
you rock man!
i too want to achieve the same energy goals as you!
I understand what's going on, but this guy takes the cake ,he knows how to explain everything in a muddled way, if you know what I mean !!
So if i'm understanding this correctly, nuclear radiation (like with nuclear waste) and the damage that it causes appears to come from the antiparticles that come with B- decay. And those anti-particles colliding with the atoms in your body is what causes these problems that come with radiation sickness. Would that be a correct understanding or a partially correct understanding?
Is it possible to replace Electrons of H or He to Anti proton . Since both has same charge it should take e place with closer Orbit to its Nuclues ?
Fantastic presentation
Great explained
Thanks for sharing,can't believe i finished it!
I was confused about fusion for years until I met a friend of a friend who worked in nuclear and explained the extra detail that is left out of almost all conversation when it comes to nuclear including this video.
My confusion is that if energy is released from splitting atoms or fission then by law of conservation of energy it doesn't make sense that energy is released from combining atoms in fusion. The answer is that by combining unstable tritium which is an isotope of hydrogen with extra neutrons, the extra neutrons are ejected releasing energy while the helium created is a stable nucleus. Hope this helps anyone else with this confusion.
going to try out the Amazon version of TGC Ithink, looks like good value
This is amazing
Humanity’s rejection of Nuclear power was a massive mistake, and the environment has payed dearly for it as we continue to rely on fossil fuels for our electricity
I agree but 1 small mistake will cost humanity dearly
You can blame the Greens for this
I purchased this one. Enjoyed it.
What did you learn?
You purchased. We got for free.
very good
I Would like to see how Each a b y Radiation release by WNF in detail
Great video! Keep up the great content
Thank you for watching!
Thank you! Where can I find a course outline for Nuclear Science?

Thanks for being a fan and never stop learning!
Great course!!!
Thank you :)
OMG this is so cool!!
I know right can't believe this is what I am studying in school
Best🙌
I'm bored so I am deciding to learn all about nuclear physics even reading a pdf from Stanford so thanks for the help
how he remembers all this 🤯🤯🤯
Thanks for Hindi Subtitles
👍👍
Now fusion is possible delivering high energy yield. Science is advancing at hyper fast pace.
Nice background colors and everything, but the nucleus is not a random "bag of marbles." Its my philosophy that people should make videos about new ideas, not just what's already in the textbooks.
He's wrong that nuclear fusion/fission is the most powerful energy. That would be matter/anti-matter annihilations which is pure energy. He is also incomplete when he says gravity effects everything with mass. It does do that, but it also effects light which is massless.

This is excellent but of very specialist intertest
What a shame is it not that physics is a special interest! :-(
Sun is using a knd of glue in fusiing Hydrogen isotopes which we don't have in our labs.!!.
