Philosophy and Physics

Components in an atom, as we learnt a really long time ago, are in a constant state of motion. Positively charged protons, electrically nuetral Neutrons, bound together by electromagnetic force, surrounded by a cloud of negetively charged electrons. Each element has at least one isotope with an unstable nucleus that can undergo radioactive decay. This can result in a transmutation that changes the number of protons or neutrons in a nucleus (yep wiki for you) hence determining the charge of an atom.


Why the wiki? Again philosophy.. (Yeah I think too much). Even the smallest particle in the world (yep I know.. It is not the smallest particle now, but I’m old school, ie. I don’t wanna learn anymore physics) reflects our life, our world in such a major way.Whats the difference between an atom and an organization or a team. Positively charged protons and electrically nuetral nuetrons, That’s what we all always are. And the negetive cloud of people always hanging around us.. trying to get us down, or in some cases even trying to get us out. When positively charged protons are more in number than the neutral nuetrons, the atom is positively charged and vice versa ( Don’t correct me if I’m wrong, Or the point im trying to prove will go all haywire)

 

So when positively charged Protons (people who know me know who I am talking about) undergo radioactive decay and decide to leave the atom behind (especially protons who are heavily positive, and I am stressing on the plural) the charge of the atom becomes negetive. Another consequence? There’s more space for existing neutrons and protons to move around. Hence increasing restlessness among components. And in their constant state of motion, bump into other protons and neutrons hence resulting in increasing radioactive decay of the components left behind. Us neutrally charged neutrons are in process of loosing isotopes and becoming negetively charged. Or loosing our minds in other words.


Yet another consequence? The negetive cloud is building strength, compressing us even more, Suffocating us even more. (No, this is not intended for anyone specific. Even though people who know me may get ideas, really no)


Transmutation is rule of charge in atoms, and change is the only thing constant in life. I now totally get sheldons (yeah i know, and yes i mean the character) take on life, particle physics explains so much more than just physics.


On the bright side, the job market is picking up. Time to start getting restless again.
