      We should do this with all movies then. Unfortunately this says many lies. Matter is frequency within the medium. Einstein stole his work. Read his travel diary. Horrible person. They lie to the masses for control. You all assume just the politics is screwed up. Your only at the tip of the corporate lies. Your a pay check not a person to them.

    Wow this film really meant a lot to me personally. My neighbor on Long Island was a nuclear physicist that worked at Brookhaven and taught at Stoney Brook. In either 72 or 73 he gave me a personal tour of the Brookhaven Lab.
    He led a team that was performing crystal molecular mapping. He designed crystals and used synthetic methods to grow them. I was only 11 but he was very impressed that I had a good knowledge of nuclear theory and an avid interest in geology and mineralogy.
    That tour is still with me till today. It was quite exciting to get a personalised VIP tour especially when I could ask coherent questions that surprised a couple of his associates.
    I didn't go into that field although the US Navy tried to convince me to choose nuke tech. I chose photo/ photo intelligence as my speciality.

    This is an amazing film looking back into early (US) nuclear research, particularly its focus on exploring the atom and discovering the (then) new particles we now know today as part of the Standard Model. It is amazing what they accomplished with tools we would now consider primitive. Thank you for this!

    One important part of current Brookhaven work that came later uses the X-rays that are a by-product of the synchotron to irradiate protein samples so that their three-dimensional structures can be determined. Physicists originally regarded the X-rays as a waste of synchotron energy, but they are used for many important purposes now. All of the protein structures I've done used X-ray data collected from Brookhaven. An amazing scientific resource.

    i grew up less than five miles from BNL, breast cancer became an epidemic in the 80s, what they dont tell you here is that the water table in this area is less than three feet in most places and the ground water became contaminated due to this laboratory. Shoreham nuclear power plant was just down the road from here as well.

    • @donaldvonlintig8445
      @donaldvonlintig8445 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The water table flows from the N.W to the S.E on L.I. Unless you lived directly downstream S.E of B.N.L you might have something to say, But the amount of breast cancer on L.I has no geographical location linked to B.N.L especially the amount of breast cancer to the West and to the North of B.N.L. and for the record, Shoreham Nuclear power plant was never operational, the biggest waste of taxpayers dollars, Ever ! But if you pay attention to the video, you might notice thru the cloud of Smoke, that everyone is sucking down, one Cigarette, after another, and smoking Pipes too !! Don't you think that might have something to do with the high amount of breast cancer in the 80's ??? Or how about the Grumman Site in Manorville, what did they dump there ?,considering what they have been finding at the Grumman site in Bethpage. This is what you didn't look into, instead of what they didn't tell you about the "water table" Don't blame the Lab, they were there first, and its all for Science and the benefit for Mankind.

    - Hebrews 9:27
    “And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,”
    - Genesis 3:19
    “By the sweat of your face
    You will eat bread,
    Till you return to the ground,
    Because from it you were taken;
    For you are dust,
    And to dust you shall return.”
    Most house dust is just dead skin cells, showing that we are in fact only dust in our temporary tents. We all have eternal souls/spirits and will spend all of eternity either with God-Jesus Christ in paradise/heaven or separated from Him for all eternity in Hell, Gehenna.
    - John 5:24
    “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”

      Nuclear energy and related research output is how you detect and cure cancer (along with a host of other therapies). Also, there is far less radiation coming from a nuclear plant than basically any other energy generation plant today. Coal dust is full of radioactivity and it goes up the chimney. Mining for rare earths to make motors, generators, etc for wind turbines and solar concentrates the natural radioactive materials found with those materials. Radiation is everywhere and the body long ago learned to deal with low levels of it.
