I am getting the impression that this simple question can only be answered with a complex answer because of so many complex variables involved. Does anyone know what was the mass of the element(was it uranium?) used, what was the Energy in jouls generated, and waht was the time durration of the...

Well... I am thinking of an atomic bomb explosion that emanates a lot of light for a brief moment. that is where E=MC^2 is applicable. Duration of that light is, what... in microseconds... or perhaps milliseconds? On the Sun the process is kind of reversed M=E/C^2. Hydrogen ---> Helium ---> to...

Thanks for the clarification on Fusion vs. Fission. Let me see if I understood you correctly... the Energy in E of the M=E/C^2 equation is dependent on preexisting Mass?

lets see if I can fine tune my visualization... Going from Mass to Energy E=MC^2, fission, light is noticed by the observer, thinking of an atomic bomb explosion. Then, reversing the process, M=E/C^2 going from Energy to Mass, fusion, light is also noticed by the observer. Thinking about the...

Hi Nabeshin, yes, I am grammatically challenged, but very curious and interested in nuclear physics, but my knowledge of it, in comparison to the maturity of a human, is like a baby crawling around in diapers :-) and I also very much appreciate your time in the attempt to answer the question...

Nuclear physics is my interest/curiosity but not my educational background,so I have a lot to learn. And being on this forum is an opportunity that I greatly appreciate because it brings me in contact with some great minds in this fascinating field of study of our nature. In reference to your...

Reading some of the responses to energy mass conversion question, has prompted me to ask the experts in this forum the following question: What would be the length of time that visible light would be emitting from a very efficient process of converting enough energy into a body of mass of...

Reading some of the responses to energy mass conversion question, has prompted me to ask the experts in this forum the following question: What would be the length of time that visible light would be emitting from the process of converting enough energy into a body of mass of 6.0×(10 to the 24th...

Energy <---> Mass conversion and visible light We are all familiar with the following concept: E = MC2 and M = E / C2 My question goes as follows, theoretically speaking, if at my disposal is adequate amount of energy to convert that energy into a mass of 6×1024 KG, what is the length...
