The Energy Squeeze
What this basically means is that by squeezing or stretching a crystal you can generate electrical energy. Conversely, if you introduce electrical energy to a crystal it will flex. These two phenomena, called the piezoelectric effect, allow crystals to be used in a wide variety of applications
Werner Heisenberg discovered something amazing about how sub atomic particles behave and the consequences of trying to observe them.
When I was a kid I was always being told off for not doing my homework. I would try to explain to teachers that I had been ill, or a plane had crashed into our back garden, or that my pet tarantula had died, but they were unwilling to accept my reasonable explanations. Much later in life when I understood more about cognitive bias, I realised
There's fission, and then there's fusion. These two things are similar in some ways and completely different in others. Both describe how an element changes to another element and in so doing releases energy. What makes them do this and the circumstances in which they are able to do it is what makes them so very different.
