these fission pulses they're massive
00:00:04.037 --> 00:00:07.064
I've seen 30 of these in the past ten minutes
00:00:07.673 --> 00:00:10.051
Theory will take you only so far
00:00:10.543 --> 00:00:11.978
gasps
00:00:12.999 --> 00:00:14.013
During the process
00:00:14.999 --> 00:00:15.782
extra neutrons boil off
00:00:15.815 --> 00:00:18.985
which could be used to split other uranium atoms
00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:20.419
Chain reaction
00:00:20.453 --> 00:00:22.999
You're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
00:00:22.122 --> 00:00:24.891
You me and every other physicist around the world
