And now it's time for physics with Mr. Professor Chaosky.
MR. PROFESSOR CHAOSKY! YEAH!
Hello, as a continuation of the black hole topic I will submit a paper I made for school.
BLACK AND WHITE HOLES Black and white holes are some of my favorite subjects to think about. Although there is no observational evidence for white holes, it is probably what the other end of a black hole connected by a wormhole would be. No one is really sure if black holes lead to another dimension, another universe, someplace else in space-time or something else entirely. Nothing can escape a black hole because there are no paths leading away from a black hole and space-time is curled up in some sort of ball. Space-time is the fabric of space that holds space and time in our universe but it is also everywhere in the universe A black hole and a white hole are alike in several ways. First, they are both could be called spatial anomalies. Second, they are both connected by wormholes. When a wormhole intersects a black hole, it creates the other end of a black hole. The other end of a black hole is a white hole. It spits out the matter from the black hole which gets to the white hole through the wormhole. Another similarity between the two is that they both have singularities at their centers. They also both affect space-time but in different ways. The final similarity is that they both prevent objects from movement into and out of the holes. These two objects, although they are not necessarily objects, are different in about as many ways as they similar. First, which is the most obvious difference, is that white holes spit matter out while black holes suck matter in. I also imagine that the rules are reversed for white holes so that instead of sucking things in and not letting them out, it would be that white holes eject the matter from the black hole that feeds it the matter through the wormhole and doesn't let matter in. Okay, so there are a lot more differences than similarities between the two. So the next thing they have opposite opinions about is how they affect the fabric of space and time. Black holes make space and time curve inward which forms a type of ball which blocks all the paths to get out. In a white hole, I imagine that it is more like a ball that things can get out of , but they can't get back in. Anyway, black holes and white holes are among my favorite things. I like to think of what we would discover if we could control the two. Needless to say, it would be a lot.
That's all for now, join us next time when I will show you how to make a submarine out of a straw and a super ball.
MR. PROFESSOR CHAOSKY! YEAH!

Lawl, I'm actually writing a whole paragraph on all I know about black holes, huzzah.
Also Chaosky, when did you start reading about Space and Black Holes? O: I started when I was 4. :3

Oh, So when I die in a black hole on Super Mario Galaxy, I am still alive but in another place? HOW DARE YOU NINTENDO FOR LYING TO ME!!!

No, Black Holes CAN lead to other universes, but you probably wouldn't survive the journey as your molecules would be torn apart and crushed.

I started when I was about 5 or 6 actually, it really started because I always watched Star Trek Enterprise with my dad. Also, if black holes can lead to other universes, it wouldn't necessarily mean that is true for all of them. Maybe some are connected to wormholes. Physics can be radically different in a black hole so I can't say for sure this is even possible.

MR. PROFESSOR CHAOSKY! YEAH!
Hello, today I will talk about nuclear power plants. I will mostly be using exact words from another site because they already have all the information. This is the site: How Do Nuclear Plants Work? -Duke Energy.
The fuel used in nuclear generation is uranium 235. It is manufactured as small round pellets. A single pellet is less than an inch long, but produces the energy equivalent to a ton of coal. The pellets are placed end to end into fuel rods 12 feet long. Over 200 of these rods are grouped into what is known as a fuel assembly. The process of producing electricity begins when uranium atoms are split (i.e., fission) by particles known as neutrons. Uranium 235 has a unique quality that causes it to break apart when it collides with a neutron. Once an atom of uranium 235 is split, neutrons from the uranium atom are free to collide with other atoms of the uranium 235. A chain reaction begins and the chain reaction produces heat. This reaction is controlled by rods which absorb neutrons. Control rods are inserted among the fuel assembly rods that hold the uranium pellets. When they are in place, they absorb the atomic particles that would normally initiate the chain reaction. When they are withdrawn from the fuel assembly, fission is allowed to occur. The heat produced in the reactor is transferred to the first of three water systems: the primary coolant. The primary coolant is heated to over 600 degrees Fahrenheit. In a pressurized water reactor, a pressurizer keeps the water under pressure to prevent it from boiling. The hot, pressurized water passes through thousands of tubes in nearby steam generators. These tubes are surrounded by another water system called the secondary coolant. The heat from the primary coolant is transferred to the secondary coolant, which then turns into steam. The primary and secondary systems are closed systems. This means that the water flowing through the reactor remains separate and does not mix with the water from the other system or the lake. The steam is piped from the containment building into the turbine building to push the giant blades of a turbine. The turbine is connected to an electric generator by a rotating shaft. As the turbine blades begin to spin, a magnet inside the generator also turns to produce electricity. After turning the turbines, the steam is cooled by passing it over tubes carrying a third water system, called the condenser coolant or lake water. The steam is cooled so it condenses back into water and is returned to the steam generator to be used again and again. At some nuclear stations, such as Oconee and McGuire, lake water flows through thousands of condenser tubes to condense steam back to water. It is then discharged down a long canal (for cooling) and eventually enters the main part of the lake. At other plants such as Catawba Nuclear Station, the condenser cooling water is circulated through cooling towers to remove the extra heat it has gained. The water is pumped to the top of the cooling towers and is allowed to pour down through the structure. At the same time, a set of fans at the top of each tower pulls air up through the condenser water. This lowers the temperature of the water by about 24 degrees. After it is cooled, the condenser water flows back into the turbine building to begin its work of condensing steam again.
I am so glad I did not have to type all that. Anyway sorry for not using my own words but there was so much information! Join us next time when I show you how to make a cell phone out of some copper wire and a shoe.
MR. PROFESSOR CHAOSKY! YEAH!
