    The ping pong ball in the second half should have hit one trap to show that even hitting one won’t infect others. They totally blew that opportunity. This video seems to imply that nobody gets infected with social distancing. But that totally misses the point. No pun intended.

    • @wiscgaloot
      @wiscgaloot Před 4 lety +9

      @@bernardshaw6905 Thanks for asking! If heavy atoms like plutonium are spaced at their normal distance, when one decays it is like the end of this video--the neutrons that are produced by the radioactive decay aren't likely to cause another plutonium atom to decay. There's a ridiculous amount of empty space between one nucleus and another, even in an apparently dense metal. When they crush the plutonium in an atomic bomb, the nuclei are forced much closer together, so that it is like the dense mouse traps. One atom decays, releases neurons, then other atoms decay in a cascade effect.

      Then again, Trump said; there's only one case. Then, there are 15. Next, it will magically go away. After, it's just like the flu. Last, it will wash out with the heat.
