2 Science = Regular person asks WHY? Answer: blah blah blah RP: oh great! 2

3 Science = Regular person asks WHY? Answer: blah blah blah RP: oh great! Science lover : WHY? Answer: blah blah blah SL: oh great! And HOW? 3

4 What are the smallest pieces? Take a piece of chalk. Break it in pieces. Take smallest piece. 4

5 What are the smallest pieces? Take a piece of chalk. Gypsum. Break it in pieces. Take smallest piece. Image by Smokefoot - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, 5

6 Molecules make up everything (?) Water DNA 6

7 What are the smallest pieces? Take a piece of chalk. Gypsum. Calcium Sulphur Oxygen Hydrogen Break it in pieces. Take smallest piece. Image by Smokefoot - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, 7

8 Molecules broken into atoms Water DNA C H O N P Oxygen 8

9 Indistinguishability of atoms Each atom of oxygen is exactly identical to every other atom of oxygen. Thus one water molecule is exactly the same as any other water molecule. 9

10 Too small to see... But what if object is smaller than wavelength of light? 10

11 Too small to see... Objects larger than wavelength can be seen 11

12 Too small to see... Objects smaller than wavelength need to be seen 12

13 Too small to see... 13

14 Too small to see... What if the wall is invisible? 14

15 Too small to see... 15

16 Too small to see... 16

17 Rutherford's gold foil experiment α-particles shot at gold foil 17

18 Rutherford's gold foil experiment Some -Particles have large deflection Most -Particles go through with small deflection 18

19 Structure of atoms 19

20 Structure of atoms 20

21 Structure of atoms Orbiting electrons Nucleus 21

22 Structure of atoms Orbiting electrons Nucleus Atoms are mostly empty. If a nucleus were as big as a person, then closest electron is roughly 100 kms away. 22

23 Next step? Nucleus 23

24 Need for 'high' energy A nucleus is very small. To be able to 'look' inside it, we need a small object of high energy. Let me explain with an example. 24

25 Inside a dark cave 25

26 Inside a dark cave 26

27 Inside a dark cave 27

28 Inside a dark cave 28

29 Size and Energy Size we can look at, is inversely proportional to momentum If Length Then Energy 29

30 So what's in a nucleus? Protons Neutrons 30

31 So what's in a nucleus? Protons Neutrons Deep Inelastic Scattering experiments with electrons 31

32 So what's in a proton/neutron? Protons Neutrons QUARKS Up quark Down quark Proton = uud Neutron = udd 32

33 The smallest pieces of our universe Electron Up quark Down quark 33

34 The smallest pieces of our universe Electron Ahem! Up quark Down quark 34

35 The smallest pieces of our universe Electron Up quark Neutrino Down quark 35
