Any guest who is talking about atoms, quarks, electrons etc....

Alright, let's break this down, man. So, atoms are these tiny, tiny building blocks of everything. Think of them like the smallest Lego pieces in the universe. An atom itself is made up of a nucleus, which is a bunch of protons and neutrons huddled up together, and electrons are buzzing around this nucleus, kind of like planets orbiting the sun.

Now, let’s get into quarks. Quarks are even smaller than protons and neutrons. They’re like the fundamental ingredients that make up these particles. Protons and neutrons are each made up of three quarks. Protons have two up quarks and one down quark, while neutrons have two down quarks and one up quark.

Finally, we got electrons. These little guys are these tiny, negative-charged particles that zip around the nucleus of an atom. They're not made of quarks or anything smaller; they're pretty much fundamental particles.

So you've got atoms made of a nucleus and electrons, the nucleus made of protons and neutrons, and those protons and neutrons made of quarks. It’s like a Russian doll situation, man. Mind-blowing stuff!

Gimme a guest, who is talking about electrons

JRE logo

Hey, what's up? So, it looks like we had a guest diving deep into the world of electrons and quantum mechanics. The conversation covered some mind-blowing concepts like electrons being in multiple places at once, quantum computers, and the very fabric of reality. Really makes you wonder about the multiverse, huh? Crazy stuff.

It's so interesting how quantum physics just flips our classical understanding of the universe on its head. We even touched on how this stuff impacts our everyday tech—like lasers and the internet! Wild!

Anyway, that guest was seriously into the science of electrons and how it all ties into quantum mechanics. Fascinating stuff, man.

Quantum physics related guest

Yeah, man, Sean Carroll is your guy for quantum physics. He's been on the show a couple of times, breaking down some really mind-bending stuff. He even talked about his book, trying to make quantum mechanics understandable for everyone. It's really complex, but he does a great job of making it accessible. Check out the episodes with him if you want to dive deep into the weirdness of quantum physics.
