It may surprise you to learn that I have not been specifically researching this matter. No websites to reference.
I glean bits of information from a variety of sources, and attempt to meld them into an understanding.
I think about the big bang, about nuclear reactions and matter-energy transformations, and about the ways in which energy gets captured and stored atomically.
I recognize that matter and energy are not very dissimilar things; that each has dimensions we can neither see nor measure with anything other than our minds.
Intrinsically, nuclear reactions are no more difficult to understand and deal with than are chemical ones. At some stage in man's development, God willing, nuclear energy will be as commonplace and as well understood as fire.
The same sense of imagination that lets me picture chemical reactions is the instrument I use to analyze the nuclear world around me.
Very impressive.
Interestingly, I do somewhat similarly but at many layers out from the technological understanding you have of the basic physics. You are way ahead of me on that score and so, probably are most high school physics students. LOL.
But I can grasp principles and basic dynamics fairly quickly and I synthesize and sort and combine bits of puzzle pieces fairly well--having been collecting them since 1960 from a wide diversity of sources.
