The Sub-Atomic Wonders: How do quarks in the nucleus of an atom (specifically the neutron) produce a nuclear "glue" AKA a nuclear force, and how does that obey the Law of Conservation of Mass?  By: Ian Davis ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction:  As I was browsing the internet in search of fun facts and knowledge, I came across a interesting device called: a thermoelectric generator, more specifically a RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, ugh I know big words am I right?) and I was looking on how it utilizes the Seebeck Effect in order to produce a fair amount of energy. However I was more interested in the fuel it utilizes, Plutonium-238, a radioactive isotope capable of a half-life of about ~87.7 years which is pretty awesome. But my curiosity did not stop there, and my brain went through a million year old conniption, how the heck do neutrons work? and why do the a
 Welcome to Inquiries About Us. Here we will talk about and describe the wonders of the universe (including astrophysics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, microbiology, physics, quantum physics, and so much more) all relating to the fields of science. In this blog, I will try my best and attempt to communicate hard-to-learn subjects into a more understandable fashion to study and learn for all types of people like students, teachers, or just the simple curious person. My formats of my blogs will have the question stated, my initial thoughts before studying, my thoughts and knowledge after studying the subjects and then head right into the easier way to communicate this subject through simple language and common examples. All of my sources will be cited from a serious and credible site (.gov,.edu,.mil,.org) unless stated or shown. Feel free to discuss anything or even correct me in a nice and calm demeanor, any insults to one another including me will not be tolerated as this is a webs
