Fission

Fission, a splitting of something into two or more parts, may refer to:

  • Fission (biology), the subdivision of a cell or multi-cellular body into one or more parts and the regeneration of each part into a complete individual
  • Mitochondrial fission
  • Loop fission, a computer science concept
  • Nuclear fission, where a large atomic nucleus (such as that of uranium) is split into two (or sometimes more) smaller nuclei
  • Cold fission
  • Fast fission
  • Spontaneous fission
  • Ternary fission
  • Another name for secession, the process whereby a nation-state divides into multiple states
  • Singlet fission, in spectroscopy
  • Music

  • Fission (album), a 1997 release by Jens Johansson
  • Fission (band), a Swedish death metal band
  • Melodic fission, a phenomenon in music theory

  • Fission–fusion society, an ethology concept
  • Fusion (disambiguation)
  • Fission (album)

    Fission is a studio album by keyboardist Jens Johansson, released in 1997 through Heptagon Records (Europe); February 18, 1998 through Pony Canyon (Japan); and on March 24, 1998 through Shrapnel Records (United States). According to Johansson, the album went through an extremely troubled recording process due to several mishaps with Andy West's bass parts, which ultimately never made the album. On his website, Johansson also revealed that the indistinct image on the cover art is actually a heavily zoomed-in section of ice on a car window.

    In biology, fission is the division of a cell (or body, population, or species) into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts into separate cells (bodies, populations, or species). Binary fission produces two separate cells, populations, species, etc., whereas multiple fission produces more than two cells, populations, species, etcetera


    Binary fission of prokaryotes

    Prokaryotic fission, which is binary fission, is a form of asexual reproduction and cell division used by all prokaryotes (bacteria and archaebacteria) and some organelles within eukaryotic organisms (e.g., mitochondria). This process results in the reproduction of a living prokaryotic cell (or organelle) by dividing into two parts that each have the potential to grow to the size of the original cell (or organelle). This type of division takes place without the formation of spindles in the cell. The single DNA molecule first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicated and original chromosomes are separated. The consequence of this asexual method of reproduction is that all the cells are genetically identical, meaning that they have the same genetic material (barring random mutations).

    Mind Vortex

    by: Fission

    My persection is set to a mode
    Of squeezing thoughts into one lane
    A phase that ends with overload
    Through the head blows a violent hurricane
    I feed this process with mental twisters
    While watching man's stupidity
    Building up a billion blisters
    In the brains anatomy
    Failing to flee, forced from the lee
    Into the wind of unbearable motion
    A blizzard of dree, across the mind's sea
    Completes the inevitable tortion
    Thought coordinations that fail to flex
    Construct a daedal cyclone
    I'm encircled by this vortex
    Narrowed b the borders of it's cone
    Dawn: becomes dark across the globe
    Mountains: inverted abysses
    The gentle breeze that travelled the lobes
    Turns into typhoon enterprises
    Failing to flee, forced from the lee
    Into the wind of unbearable motion
    A blizzard of dree, across the mind's sea
    Completes the inevitable tortion
    Awareness: flooded by infrequent precipitation
    Vision: cursed by the spiral container
    Hearing: deafened by this storm's invasion
