Nothing is lost. Nothing is created. Everything is transformed. That's the law of the conservation

of mass, and it's one of the oldest principles in physics. Nothing in the universe can be completely

destroyed. It can change form or break apart or annihilate into a burst of energy, but

0:22.2

it never fully disappears. If you can't figure out where it went, it means that you're not

looking in the right place. On March 26, 1938, one of the top physicists in the world got onto a

ship from Palermo to Naples, Italy. When it pulled into port the next morning, he didn't get off.

There's nowhere he could have gone except over the deck into the water, but after a long search

of the area, his body was never found. He just vanished without a trace. But everyone knows,

disappearing into the air isn't physically possible. So if a Tore, Myrana no longer existed,

Today, the name of Tore Myrana doesn't ring a bell to most of the world, but in 1938, Myrana's

reputation was about on par with Albert Einstein. He was one of the most respected physicists in the

2:09.1

entire world, and he was only 31 years old, which makes me feel like I have a lot of catching up

2:14.2

to do us a 31 year old. The reason no one remembers him is because he rarely ever published his work,

2:20.6

even though he made incredible groundbreaking discoveries. For example, in 1932, he figured out

2:27.7

that the nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and a neutral particle, which we now know as neutrons.

Today, that's the first thing you'll learn in a chemistry class, but at the time, neutrons hadn't
