Emmanuel Top ‎- Fusion (Original Mix)

did you know, even the power of the sun, is within our reach, Scientists have long believed, that the power of the sun, comes largely from the, "fusion", of protons into helium, but now they can finally prove it. An international team of researchers, using a detector buried, deep below the mountains of central Italy, (another d.u.m.b), has detected neutrinos, the ghostly particles, that interact only very reluctantly with matter, they come streaming from the heart of the sun. Other solar neutrinos have been detected before, but these particular ones, come from the key PP (proton-proton), fusion reaction that is the first part, of a chain of reactions that provides 99% of the sun’s power.The results also show that the sun, is a remarkably steady power source. (unless mass is taken from it), Neutrinos take only 8 minutes, to get from the sun’s core to Earth, so the rate of neutrino production, that the team detected reflects the amount of heat, the sun is producing today. It just so happens, that this is the same as the amount of energy, now being radiated from the sun’s surface, even though those photons, have taken 100,000 years to work their way, from the core to the surface. Hence, the sun’s energy production hasn’t changed in 100 millennia, This is direct proof of the stability of the sun, over the past 100,000 years or so, (just because it has been does not mean it will always be, especially when they allow stellar mass to go missing), says team member Andrea Pocar of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.The core of the sun is a fiery furnace, so hot and dense that protons, (nuclei of hydrogen), the sun’s main constituent, slam together with such force, that they fuse, producing a deuterium nucleus (heavy hydrogen, made of a proton and a neutron plus an antielectron and a neutrino). This is the start of a whole sequence of reactions, Protons collide with deuterium, to produce helium-3; helium-3s combine to give helium-4 plus protons,other reactions produce lithium, beryllium, and boron. Many of these reactions produce neutrinos, but the vast majority of the neutrino flux from the sun, is produced by the original proton-proton, or pp, reaction. The pp reaction is the most basic process. Everything that goes on in the sun stems from it, The Borexino detector at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, 1400 meters below the Italian Apennines, is made up of a spherical transparent vessel filled with 300 tonnes of highly pure pseudocumene, a benzenelike liquid. Neutrinos pass easily through the overlying rock, but occasionally one will hit a nucleus in this, scintillator liquid, producing a flash of light, that is detected by an array of detectors, positioned all around the sphere. Such detectors, are always situated deep underground, to protect them from cosmic rays, and are surrounded by buffer layers, of liquids to fend off radioactive decays in the rock as, standardz, hahahahaha, :) #edio
