As alpha rays are thrown out from their source,
The parent atoms undergo a change;
These helium nuclei need little force
To stop them going past a certain range.
Another radioisotope decays,
And more unseen electronvolts are freed;
But these more penetrating beta rays
Are just electrons with a lot of speed.
Possessing no rest mass and zero charge,
The nuclear gamma photons stream about;
They have a penetrating strength so large
That nothing short of lead will cut them out.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Yes, I only posted that because that page is wrong. There are no English words that rhyme with orange. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries, m8.
Besides, what's the point of riming an orange anyway? I prefer when they are still chewy
