True. Piotr Kosek's claim is true. Naturally occurring Thorium-232 is not a fissile isotope, meaning it cannot sustain a chain reaction after absorbing a thermal neutron. Instead, it is a fertile material, which means that aft...

"Thorium-232, which occurs naturally, is not fissile. It cannot be simply ignited. It is a fertile material." "Tor 232, który występuje w naturze nie jest rozszczepialny. Nie da się go tak po prostu podpalić. Jest materiałem paliworodnym."

Materiały rozczepialne, takie jak Uran 235 to takie swoiste gotowce. Wystarczy strzelić w nie odpowiednio spowolnionym neutronem, a ich jądro pęka i wydziela energię i kolejne neutrony i podtrzymuje to reakcję. To właściwie jak taki wiecie suchy chrust, który od razu zajmuje się ogniem, jak tylko przytkniecie zapałkę. Z torem jest inaczej. Tor 232, który występuje w naturze nie jest rozszczepialny. Nie da się go tak po prostu podpalić. Jest materiałem paliworodnym. A co to oznacza w praktyce? Wyobraźcie sobie, że macie mokre drewno. Nie zapłonie od zapałki, jeżeli ją podetkniecie. Musicie je najpierw wysuszyć przy innym ogniu, żeby stało się paliwem. W reaktorze proces ten nazywamy powielaniem paliwa. Musimy wziąć atom toru i uderzyć go neutronem. Wtedy tor 232 zamienia się w tor 233. A ten izotop jest niest

"We are entering the Vera Rubin Observatory, and it will be a true game changer, because we are launching a telescope with the largest digital camera in human history, 3.2 gigapixels. This monster will not look at a single point, but will scan the entire sky, constantly creating a time-lapse film of the universe's existence. The LSST program, or Legacy Survey of Space and Time, will generate 20 TB of data every night. Mike Brown said directly: "If someone gave him a suitcase full of money and told him to find Planet Nine, he would build something like the Vera Rubin telescope." This device is capable of detecting objects orders of magnitude dimmer than anything we have had so far. Scientists estimate that the number of known objects in the solar system will increase by as much as a hundredfold thanks to it. If Planet Nine is there, Vera Rubin will find it. If it's the Kuiper Belt disk, Vera Rubin will see its structure. "

"The physical radius of this closed orbit noticeably decreased by tens of meters. And this directly means that as humanity, we deliberately and effectively pushed Dimorphos onto a much tighter, shorter, and faster path orbiting Didymos. "

"Artemis 2 still hasn't launched, and now most likely due to helium leak problems in the rocket's second stage, this launch will be delayed until April. Let's hope it happens then. But the Moon landing itself will also be delayed until 2028. And now I'm saying here that perhaps even later. It won't be good if it happens this decade. "
