Something DISTURBING Happens When You Split An Atom — Feynman Was Right

Описание: What if the most boring object you can think of — a rock — is carrying more energy than a nuclear reactor? Not metaphorically. Literally. The physics of what happens when you split an atom doesn't just explain nuclear weapons. It exposes something deeply unsettling about the nature of matter itself. Something Einstein saw in the math decades before anyone proved it.
In this video, we rebuild nuclear fission from the ground up using Richard Feynman's legendary teaching approach — starting with a simple rock and peeling back layer after layer until the true relationship between mass, energy, and reality reveals itself. Based on Feynman's own lectures on atomic forces, binding energy, and E=mc², this is the talk he might have given if someone asked: what's really happening when you split an atom?
