The neutron is a subatomic hadron particle which has the symbol n or n0
, no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton. With the exception of hydrogen, nuclei of atoms consist of protons and neutrons, which are therefore collectively referred to as nucleons. The number of protons in a nucleus is the atomic number and defines the type of element the atom forms. Neutrons are necessary within an atomic nucleus as they bind with protons via the strong force; protons are unable to bind with each other due to their mutual electromagnetic repulsion being stronger than the attraction of the strong force. The number of neutrons is the neutron number and determines the isotope of an element. For example, the abundant carbon-12 isotope has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while the very rare radioactive carbon-14 isotope has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

While bound neutrons in stable nuclei are stable, free neutrons are unstable; they undergo beta decay with a mean lifetime of just under 15 minutes (881.5±1.5 s). Free neutrons are produced in nuclear fission and fusion. Dedicated neutron sources like research reactors and spallation sources produce free neutrons for use in irradiation and in neutron scattering experiments. Even though it is not a chemical element, the free neutron is sometimes included in tables of nuclides. It is then considered to have an atomic number of zero and a mass number of one, and is sometimes referred to as neutronium.[citation needed]

Plot: Film adaptation of street tough Jim Carroll's epistle about his kaleidoscopic free fall into the harrowing world of drug addiction. As a member of a seemingly unbeatable high school basketball squad, Jim's life centers around the basketball court and the court becomes a metaphor for the world in his mind. A best friend who is dying of leukemia, a coach ("Swifty") who takes unacceptable liberties with the boys on his team, teenage sexual angst, and an unhealthy appetite for heroin -- all of these begin to encroach on young Jim's dream of becoming a basketball star. Soon, the dark streets of New York become a refuge from his mother's mounting concern for her son. He can't go home and his only escape from the reality of the streets is heroin for which he steals, robs and prostitutes himself. Only with the help of Reggie, an older neighborhood friend with whom Jim "picked up a game" now and then, is he able to begin the long journey back to sanity.

Jim: Gee whiz, ma, we oughtta have these heart to heart talks more often, they're good for us.

Jim Carroll: I felt dazed, like I just came out of a 4 hour movie I didn't understand.

Quotes:

[the cat appears]::Dr. Ruth Adams: It's only Neutron. We call him that because he's so positive. [sic]

Dr. Cal Meacham: [to reporters] You boys like to call this the pushbutton age. It isn't, not yet. Not until we can team up atomic energy with electronics. Then we'll have the horses as well as the cart.

Joe Wilson: Half an hour late. That's my boss - the only guy in the world who can travel by jet and still be late.

Joe Wilson: Cal, I - I know everybody's seeing flying saucers and screwy lights up in the sky. Well, you can put me in the booby hatch too, because, so help me, I saw this ship turn a bright green up there.::Dr. Cal Meacham: Are you sure, Joe?::Joe Wilson: Positive.::Dr. Cal Meacham: Did you hear anything?::Joe Wilson: Yes. A high-frequency howl, very high, all the time your ship was...::Dr. Cal Meacham: Green. Did Webb see it?::Joe Wilson: Unless he's blind.::Dr. Cal Meacham: Check him.::Joe Wilson: Right.::Dr. Cal Meacham: Oh, and Joe... until we find out what happened, all three of us were blind.

[a mysterious catalog is delivered]::Dr. Cal Meacham: This isn't paper, it's some kind of metal!::[reads]::Dr. Cal Meacham: "Interociter incorporating planetary generator". "Interocitor with voltarator". "With astroscope".::Joe Wilson: Here's something my wife could use in the house. An "interocitor incorporating an electron sorter."::Dr. Cal Meacham: Oh, she'd probably gain 20 pounds while it did all the work for her. You know, Joe, according to this, there's no limit to what it can do. Laying a 4-lane highway at the rate of a mile a minute would be a cinch.::Joe Wilson: Cal... maybe we've been working too hard.::Dr. Cal Meacham: "Complete line of interocitor parts, incorporating greater advances than hitherto known in the field of electronics."

Dr. Cal Meacham: What do you think of Mr. Mozart, Exeter?::Exeter: I'm afraid I don't know the gent... My mind must have been wandering. Your composer, of course.::Dr. Cal Meacham: "Our" composer! He belongs to the world.::Exeter: Yes, indeed.

Dr. Cal Meacham: Where am I?::Dr. Ruth Adams: Georgia.::Dr. Cal Meacham: I kind of expected Neptune.

Dr. Cal Meacham: Sun lamp?::Dr. Ruth Adams: That's what it looks like. Only instead of a suntan, you get your brain cells rearranged.

The Monitor: Then you know that shortly we can expect Zagon to commence and sustain an all-out attack. Our ionization layer must be maintained until our relocation is effected.::Dr. Cal Meacham: Relocation? To where?::The Monitor: To your Earth.::Exeter: A peaceful relocation. We hope to live in harmony with the citizens of your Earth.::Dr. Ruth Adams: In harmony!::The Monitor: Our knowledge and weapons would make us your superiors, naturally.::Dr. Cal Meacham: Then why haven't your "superior" brains solved the problem of synthesizing uranium?

The Monitor: It is indeed typical that you Earth people refuse to believe in the superiority of any world but your own. Children looking into a magnifying glass, imagining the image you see is the image of your true size.::Dr. Cal Meacham: Our true size is the size of our God!

    With Hands Of Doom

    I turn to dust and fall with your tainted touch
    And I feel my un-life is fading away
    And your tainted love starts boiling my blood
    A burning flamy attraction corrupting my soul
    Forget your dreams on the shades of night
    Drink all the tears that I shed as wine
    Under my skin
    Inside my mind
    Ride with my blood as my secrets of life
    Take my world
    My winter nights
    With hands of doom
    Bring me darkness
    As my un-life fades away.
    Curse, with your demon touch
    Make dark my sky
    Obsession fills me
    Erupting my scars
    Shows me with that are full of sins
    (And the) world wants me dead
    Make me dead
    Make dark my sky
    Cursing me with demon touch
