Physics is what helps us describe what happens from the nanoscale to the macroscales of Astrophysics and Maths is it's language.

In Japanese X-rays are still often called "rentogen" レントゲン which comes from Röntgen. I think other languages use röntgen more commonly as well. I have a funny story about this. When my parents were visiting me in Japan from America, I took them to meet with a dear friend of mine, an old Grandmother who owns a toy store. My parents don't speak Japanese, and my friend doesn't speak English, so I would translate back and forth. At one point, my parents wanted to ask about what her son does. I translated and she answered, but I didn't quite understand at first because I wasn't familiar with the word "rentogen." However, my Dad recognized the word as "röntgen," not because he studied physics, but because he had visited Würzburg University, where Röntgen worked when he discovered X-rays. This bit of insight from my Dad helped us to understand that my friend's son is a radiologist.

I loved the video but as a disclaimer from a trained radiation worker: you stated that madam curie worked in a shed with no ventilation. The amount of ventilation you have on a substance that is decaying radioactive particles has no difference in the amount of radiation exposure that you receive. What really matters is the amount of shielding that you have between yourself and the source! Every material has what is called a tenth thickness. That is the amount of material it takes to reduce the amount of radiation you receive to a tenth of what you would receive as if you were right next to it. Had she been working behind lead, or water that would of made a difference. But unfortunately such things were Unknown at the time There are a few more things that go into the calculation of radiation exposure but I don’t want to bore everybody. Everything we know about radiation exposure can now be quantified today because of the work of madam curie and Wilhelm Roentgen. Thanks everybody!
@garethdean63826 жыл бұрын
Possibly, I mean there was radon involved, which is a sod, and made some volatile compounds. Plus the dust I imagine. I don't think ventilation would have fixed everything, but it couldn't have hurt. Actually, given the chemicals they were working with, I wouldn't have liked to breathe the air in that shed either. Also, tenth thickness? Surely a half thickness would have been more in line? I am disappointed, radiation science.
@namename12316 жыл бұрын
Gareth Dean You are right it is bad to inhale the dust of a source. Such a thing is called a internal dose. Which is only an issue if you are grinding or cutting or just plain swallowing a source. Also Uranium will decay into what is called radon daughters. It is an order less tasteless gas. Fun fact radon makes up a significant portion of your everyday background radiation exposure. Lastly using tenth thickness of materials and shielding I can indeed reduce the amount of radiation you receive by half! With enough lead I can reduce your dose to be less then background!

When women were not given the scientific stage to romp on, it is highly inspiring to have a gifted woman to descend and did her best to get all the prizes at stake! Marie Currie is not rich, not emotionally insecure, and is basically focused on her RADIATING carrier. She has no qualms of doing her own thing her own way: marriage in a secular way wearing her work clothes, doing her own study apart from her husband, caring for her child...while discovering the sources that made her carrier radiate gloriously.. Together she shines with Roentgen and Becquerel, but Marie Currie is a female giant in the field of Physics shines more brightly!.

The woman who discovered radioactivity, together with her husband Pierre, the radioactive elements polonium and radium, while working with the mineral pitchblende. She also championed the development of X-rays after Pierre's death. What a inspiring woman:) She was the first person ever to receive two Nobel Prizes, the first one in 1903 in physics, shared with Pierre Curie (her husband) and Henri Becquerel for the discovery of the phenomenon of radioactivity and the second one in 1911 in chemistry for the discovery of the radioactive elements. The one and only Mrs. Marie Sklodowska Curie. Accordingly her contributions to the study of radium and radiation in the field of the modern technology nowadays, it can be used this instrumental to the future development of the atomic bomb. Very inspiring woman, she is one of the aspirant in the contribution of the science and technologies nowadays for discovering this type of instrument.

Her story was inspiring because she proved gender is not an issue when we talked about science, both men and women are gifted with such brillance and intelligence. So her success is an advocacy for all the women who brought a major contribution to scientific knowledge. I remember the movie Hidden Figures about black female mathematicians who worked at NASA during the space race. Katherine Johnson who fought for herself was remarkable in this film. These are just very few to mention many women who's victory inspored many aspiring women who's fascination about science is undeniably amazing.

She was the first woman to win one, the first person to win two of them, the only woman and one of only four people to win in two different fields. And she remains the only person ever to win Nobels in multiple natural sciences. In fact, being a woman is not the hindrance in contributing in the society just like Gina Lopez even she died she remains her legacy of what she made to the people because of her passion and determination to serve and help people. For me, it is a challenge to the woman to really excel in different fields because now a days woman started to make moves. Before they said that woman are weak but is not true because man and woman are the same but different skills. Every successful man there is a woman behind that success.

It's just saddening that her work killed her. But thanks to her and other scientists who worked about radiation or radioactivity, we now know the danger it possess and at the same time its usefullness to humans. They all deserved those awards that they got for dedicating their life and work to science and for the advancement of humanity.

"It's Rent-gen." "More like reont-gen" "more like rùhrnt-gin" "it's rent-gen" So here's the problem: In English, when a G is followed by an E, I, or Y, it is usually pronounced as a "soft" G--that is, like a J. Examples: gem, gender, generation, generic, gentleman, gesture, gin, giraffe, gist, gymnasium, gyrate, etc. But not always: give, get, gift, gigabyte, girl, bagel, begin, gynecologist. BTW, this is why there is a controversy over the pronunciation of "gif." So if you are going to correct Hank clearly and unambiguously, you have to stipulate which G sound is used in your well-intentioned but not-very-helpful explanations. And, for anyone who has found these comments interesting up to here (anyone? ... anyone at all?), this is also why some words have what might be called a "silent U": guess, guest, guilty, guitar, ... The U shows that, despite being followed by an E, I, or Y, the G represents the "hard G" sound.
