  1. Right. Physicist working with engineers and technicians can. If you mean it is a really big project to develop a nuclear program, I agree. Nope, the 'cat was out of the bag' in 1940, all it would take was money and a desire to make a bomb. Well apparently even countries like Pakistan and North Korea did. Yes, are you aware that most physicist were already aware a bomb could be made by 1940?
  2. Of course not. The worlds physicist all knew of uranium fission and the idea of a self sustaining nuclear reaction by 1940 at least. The hardest part of making an atomic bomb is refining the uranium or plutonium.
  3. Assuming you are serious, here is a link from NASA on how eclipses work. https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/how-eclipses-work
  4. It's just an analogy. No analogies will completely describe the actual phenomena
  5. Boy, am I glad I didn't waste time watching the videos.
  6. Still not a problem. I don't think there's an answer to that question. It is the same as asking how does a positive charge attract a negative charge. That type of question is more of a why than a how IMO.
  7. There is no problem. Why charge creates a field is not a physics problem.
  8. If you could use some actual numbers for the masses and velocity in your example that would help me to understand what you are doing. Thanks.
