Popular science explanations of the standard model usually describe four forces (strong nuclear, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, and gravity). They also claim that some of the forces are stronger than others. What they don’t tell you is that all of those claims are only valid for distances comparable to the radius of a proton. For different size scales, the order of the strength of the forces can be wildly different. https://lnkd.in/geKqMNW5

What Could Go Wrong? 5 Black Swan Scenarios for 2024: https://ow.ly/Mbcc50QzHzX

Talk about scarily prescient and topical scenario.

Check out this clip from Juice The Series. In February 2021, millions of Texans lost power, and the state’s grid came within four or five minutes of a total failure that would have resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. It’s hard to overstate the importance –– and complexity –– of our electric grid. But how did our most important energy network get weakened? And what can we do to fix it? #electricity #electricgrid #alternativeenergy #greenenergy #nuclear #greenenergy https://lnkd.in/gw2Vkd5r

This is what the 5th Industrial Revolution (5IR) looks like! The “Cloud” wars have led us to the struggle for #power and #people! This is a new beginning for all of humanity! #changeiscoming #changeisgood https://lnkd.in/gd9mwcgJ

The world is on a mission to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2050, and a clear plan is emerging. Renewable energy will peak in the 2020s, followed by a sharp decline in carbon emissions by 2030. Nuclear energy will then take center stage in the 2040s, providing a reliable and clean complement to renewables. This synergy will drive economic growth, decarbonize our energy landscape, and ensure a prosperous future. Bill Gates' support for nuclear energy highlights its critical role in addressing the climate crisis. By innovating and learning from past experiences, we can optimize nuclear energy's benefits and mitigate its risks, securing a sustainable future for generations to come. #airwindnuclear

A look at the potential power of one person. Fascinating short article.
