Do sub-atomic particles hold more power than nuclear power?
I have been told that, in nuclear physics, as you go from the large atom to the much smaller nucleus, the amount of energy per particle is literally millions of times greater. In other words, as we begin to investigate quarks, muons, and other sub-atomic particles, we might find sources of energy millions of times greater than nuclear power. I’m not up on this, but I’m intrigued, so I’m hoping someone can explain this to me. Thanks.
