if you dont pay attention i think you should. its ironically like the hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy. imagine youtube is the basement of the council offices. its there to be read and seen but no one knows its there.
Once you're able to say that the masses are the same with a 9 digit accuracy- wouldn't it be a better idea to use your amazing technology to measure something ELSE!?
Is there some creationist idiot nagging you about the 10th decimal place and how it would prove we lived together with dinosaurs?
how about the anti higgs boson? that would make a kick-ass diet pill :)
It's only important if the predictions fail imo. Otherwise it's just scientists finding another way to confirm a theory noone's disputing.
Though, antiproton helium does sound cool. I wonder how they're using the lasers to measure it's mass... see how much energy they have to hit it with to move it into a different orbit? How can they even measure that?
Blablabla, a bunch of nonsens crap to keep the science nerds happy! Every free thinker knows that CERN is a reptilian base that controls the world. They control the photosynthesis, the moon, the stars, the sun and everything else that is, in reality, just a hologram made by the reptilians to hypnotise every human being on earth. WAKE UP MORONS!!!!!
@theneonfire (antiproton mass)/(proton mass) = 1.000000000 +/- .000000001. So if they are different masses then they are different by only one part in a thousand-million.
@saemj according to theory and in all observations matter and antimatter is always created in pairs so it is thought that this is true of the early universe. The hypothesis is that there is some "asymmetry" in the laws of physics that allows the antimatter to decay differently and leave us with a surplus of matter such as we observe today.
It bugs me when they speak of the big bang or the beginning of the universe as if their theory is fact. See the video "big bang's been disproved now what?"
@lordofutub sponsored bei goverments all over europe, building costed roughly 3 billion euros, yearly budget about 750 mio euros. Compared to agriculture subsidies or greater buildings the LHC is a cheap project, as science is in general.
@lordofutub That's why it's called fundamental research.
Every single piece of technology is made out of particles, you can't make innovative technology without knowing exactly how they behave. It's important for all kind of industries, even though you're not aware of it.
@lordofutub the internet was invented by a british dude working at CERN...and the institution is funded by national governments of the member countries.
there have been numerous discoveries related to their work, so what they do is very important.
So, would the smashing of Antimatter with it's matter counterpart be able to be used in space propulsion, like in Star Trek? Or do the matter and antimatter simply cause each other to cease to exist? Does it give off energy when they collide? I blanked out watching this. I've been working on animation all night and haven't slept since yesterday...:$
@MartianStories yes they give of energy. it would work, even better than a fusion powered spacecraft. the anhinilation is 100% efficient (E=mc²).Large fuel mass equals giant energy output. But the trick is to store enough antimatter for a long time (Magnetic fields). CERN was able to store 300 Antihydrogenatoms for 1000 seconds. Also the problem is the production of antimatter. You need a large quantity of energy to produce a little antimatter (again E=mc² but reverse).
@Freigeist20789 Wow! Thank you for the incredibly insightful response. I'll have to sub/friend you for that. Are you a physicist or teacher or something? You should be.
Alright, so, if we build a starship powered by matter-antimatter, and since you have to retrothrust with the same amount of energy to slow down at destination that you used to speed up, then they really would have to carry a lot of antimatter. So, these ships would be mostly giant magfield batteries? Sounds cooky, but real.
@MartianStories And also, how could they produce enough antimatter on a starship? A nuke sub has a nuclear reactor. A starship would have an antimatter reactor? Is there some way of producing antimatter through the normal movement through space of a starship? Maybe when you're decelerating? Sort of like a perpetual motion machine? It generates antimatter through deceleration, getting back the energy it put out for acceleration? I know nothing works like that in the real universe... but....?
@MartianStories i study aerospace technology and am a private tutor. I would bypass the decelerating problem with recoil, you shoot a highly accelerated mass and the recoil slows you (uncomfortably) down, when you are near lightspeed and have antimatter as energy source the mass could be really small. Or you try decelerare with swing-by manouvers nearly energy free. If someday it is possible to generate solid antimatter the storage problem would decrease.
@MartianStories the amount of antimatter would be still very small in comparison to nowaydays required fuels. When you anihilated 1kg of Matter you get 89 880 Terrajoule of energy. I think the production directly on the spaceship is difficult. Also the energy for the production needs to come from somewhere. Perpetual motion is impossible per definition (yet ;) ). But giantic magnetic fields are neccesary when you travel near light speed to protect you from cosmic particles.
Typical scientists, they all want it totaly complicated, look at the freaking size of their Weighing scale, and they are weighing tiny little atoms...... :D
If there were equal amounts of matter and antimatter before the big bang, then could the reaction between the two be the catalyst to the big bang? And would we not expect an equal reation between the two leaving equal amounts? Do they know for sure the antimatter disappeared, or is it that they just can't account for it now?
@4me2cclearly we have no clue yet what was before the big bang. the video is a bit unclear in that regard i think. this antimatter / matter issue came most propably very shortly after the big bang, in the inflation phase.
not sure about know ir not account for. might change soon anyway.
we just discovered antimatter outside our magnetic field, but afaik that is newly created one, by natural processes.
@Aanthanur before the big bang, there was nothing. time did not exist in our universe before the moment of creation, and thus nothing could have happened. it is curious to find something (big bang possibly being the only one, too) that has no cause at all. nothing could have caused the big bang because time itself did not exist. though if you are getting into extra dimensions/parallel universes then yes, i wonder what came before our universe, too.
@4me2cclearly 1. "therse isnt really a before the bigbang, and all matter was pressed into a ball the size of a marble. When matter hits antimatter it anhilates to energy(light) so nothing is left over. actually there should be no matter in the universe and all should be anihalted but obviously matter won, the question is why, therefore the search for asymetrie in matter-antimatter.
Antimatter is not known in great amounts in the universe, else we could detect the products of the anhinilation.
@4me2cclearly The standard model of the Big Bang has antimatter and matter formed AFTER it began. You see, in the early hot, dense universe, both matter and antimatter wouldn't be able to form because quarks couldn't stick together, so everything would be a quark-gluon plasma.
However, in particle accelerators QGP, as it cools, forms equal parts matter and anti-matter. That's the problem physicists face; if the universe started as QGP, why is there more matter than anti-matter?
actually its protons, electrons, positrons, and antiprotons. And muon, antimuon, tau, and antitau. And you can also have heavier versions of protons or antiprotons that consist of heavier quarks.
So its quite a zoo of particles with charge +1 or -1.
just shoot electrons at a black hole, and it will accumulate negative charge. Or use protons and it will get a positive charge. An electrically charged black hole is the biggest magnetic monopole imagineable.
@kurtilein3 little correction. you mean electric monopole, so blackholes have a charge. there is no real thing as a magnetic monopole (there are but its a different phenomenon on quantum level)
if you dont pay attention i think you should. its ironically like the hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy. imagine youtube is the basement of the council offices. its there to be read and seen but no one knows its there.
