  • can an anti-matter galaxy exist? could the anti-matter and matter be exactly equal?

  • FUCKTARD

  • Interesting comment,rite? You sir,think there is no beginning or end to space and time but you are very much mistaken. God is the beginning and the end. It is something,not you or I could ever understand. ALPHA and OMEGA so go fuck yourself!!!!!!

  • @paulypaulification there is a difference between not being able to understand and not being willing to understand. I hope you realise that before it's too late.

  • GREAT VID. super helpful for my essay, thought I was screwed XD

    simple, very easy to understand, other explanations i found were too long and complicated

    thanks a lot X3

    If you have time, could you further explain penning traps? X3

  • @xdeathnoteanimedudex thanks :) and well, what would you like to know about them?

  • anti-matter its just ordinary matter going bacward in time. That will explain how we can never know the exact position of a electron, it migth be the same electron doing u turns bacwards and forwards in time. Dark matter and energy are diferent there is a theory that staes that dark matter is a form of matter but in a higher dimension, this supports the Big splat theory. 

  • I think science try to find out antimatter.But science try to find out SOUL.Soul also look like antimatter. . .....Science try to find out the SOUL.......All living things have Soul....GOD PARTICAL- SOUL- ANT I MATTER all are same???

  • @kella587us well, we have found antimatter. we have even made it ourselves. And the God particle is just a fancy name. It has nothing to do with the God in religions.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST The beginning and end of space and time. How could time begin without time to begin? How can you begin space with no space to begin it in? ALPHA OMEGA : The beginning and the end,ha,ha!!!!!

  • @paulypaulification your problem is that you're thinking linearly in time. You must acknowlede that, just because we see things having a beginning and an end in time, the same must not apply to higher fimensional things like the universe. We as observers may experience events which seem like the beginning and end of the universe, but for the universe, those might just be two arbitary points on a multi dimensional construct, time being one of the dimensions.

  • thanks for helping me convince my brother that it can be used as a fuel, thanks =).

  • matter we can see but anti we dont see. how can you capture the antimatter cells?what is the volume ,speed,and weight of antimatte? 

  • @kella587us um, actually we could see it. Are you sure you don't mean dark matter?

  • Would Matter and Antimatter always collide, I mean would atom of lets say matter of Hydrogen and antimatter of helium collide and cancel them self leaving from this 1 Positron, 1 Antiproton and 2 Antineutrons?

  • @denis551988 Sorry, I wouldn't know exactly. It's not any issue many people have to look into i imagine, seeing how few antimatter atoms there are :) I'll get back to you when I find out.

  • You must be very nice and patient if you can put up with certain people here. Also I'm new to youtube is there a private message function?

  • @Viper47743 it's the violently stupid and the irrational that test my patience. I doubt you fit in either category. And yeah, if you go on my profile, there should be a send message button somewhere.

  • I thought that anti matter was stored inside of a vacuum. Please correct me if i'm wrong but antimatter can also be created by a hardron collider right?

  • @Viper47743 it is, but vacuum tubes have walls made of normal matter and the antimatter mustn't touch them. Hence it is confined with electro-magnetic fields.

    And well, antimatter can be made in particle colliders, yes. The hadron collider is a specific type. The main idea is to create particle collisions energetic enough for particle-anti-particle pairs to be made.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST I can honestly not say how surprised I am; very rarely does someone answer my question. Thank you.

  • @Viper47743 I honestly can't see why they wouldn't.

  • Secondly, "we", the Earth, do not "get" antimatter and thus can never be "contain[ed]." The photon (not the radiated sunlight), like antimatter, is also a postulated construct. Dirac referred to these as "light-quanta, of which light is composed." Seeing as Special Relativity and QED skewer Newton's def. of mass by making photons massless, and accounting that matter cannot be created or destroyed, no positron even if were real could ever annihilate an electron into a massless quanta.

  • Paul Dirac invented an equation in 1928 that raised the possibility of particles of identical mass/matter constitution as electrons except had positive charge. He didn't use the ridiculous term anti-matter or annihilation, nothing of the sort. He embraced these after '28 from other physicists and prior to his Nobel speech. Dirac never explained how opposite charge mirror image particles annihilate into photons.

  • @RenoDoctor Good thinking man, I think you should go and take it up with the people at CERN. 

  • Dude, you are not even close to being a Physicist! And what's up with the weird accent?!?

  • @vanko81 it's just the way I talk. What's up with the weird personality dude?

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST Yes, sorry indeed I'm being forward, but I got really frustrated yesterday when I saw your video, because I was expecting something along the lines of "expertise" - I work on low temperature spectroscopic investigation of organic molecules and I found some unusual wavebands in the spectra, which can only be explained with polarity shift, so I started looking for some answers & your crappy video came up so I got so frustrated- it's videos like yours, that make people stupid!

  • what do you think it will happen if LHC start function again in the 2013 at hes full power will it benefice or damage the world or even the universe?

    sorry my English is not that good

  • @brailosky15 No, I don't think so. Events as energetic as the events in the LHC happen all over the universe and we never saw anything getting swallowed by random black holes coming out.

  • You SUCK

  • I read in Wikipedia antimatter costs 100 quadrillion dollars a gram & would take 100 billion years to manufacture.

  • @niflap I wouldn't like to be the guy that spilled it by accident.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST Ok let me ask you, what do you think of a Bose Einstein condensate(BEC) being the state of the HIggs field or even their string theory, or universal fabric, containing the dimensional universe we live in the form of matter, energy and time. And do you think time is a bi-product or effect of energy? The BEC would you say is a glimpse into the quantum entanglement phenomena?

  • @SASNIGHTCRAWLER regarding your last question: I'd say no, they are very different phenomena. I'm afraid I don't get the others, I don't really follow. Regarding the wife and girfriend, lol

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST its the BEC singular wave state im interested in, when matter acts as singular atom or wave. Im thinking if the Higgs field is in this state, if it exists that is, and matter would be connected to it but seperate at the same time due to its mass. It could explain the electron pairs interacting as they do beyond space and time. You understand where im coming from? The BEC state is just an exampe of a singular wave function.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST would you think this is the BEC state, where the electrons in the atoms in question spread out and interact in each others orbits creating the new matter state they are observing?

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST I think if you could reduce matter to absolute zero, it would cease to exist.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST Matter must either contain a singularity or the way it is created it is looping EM waves around maybe a Higgs Boson where it is still part of the field, but maintains time.

  • @SASNIGHTCRAWLER First off you're regurgitating new advances in science ie, superfluidity theory combined with SWM-WSM theory, This guy is not going to know anything actually useful on these topics lol, Now i know what its like to want to give academicians-scholastic communities a good poke and prod as well as attempting to unveil the true law governing our cosmos, but just give it up man I promise you are going to dead end everytime. He's trained to believe our universe is a hot amber :D

  • is it not pretty obviuos that if there were equal amounts of antimatter and matter everything would go kaboom (insert very bright flash and loud sound here or wait no sound in space nvr mind))? or am i missing something? Lets say at creation there was slightly more matter then anti matter and after boom we get more matter?

  • @thejlx Smart observation ... that is actually one of the big questions in physics currently ... have a look for CP violation if you're really interested.

  • explain teleportation..dematerial and materialize back somewhere else.....explain the equation that says that there is 50,000 civilazation in the universe....explain the fabric in space....

  • You helped me out so much with my physics paper, thank you for the videos.

  • @PvtPancake You're very welcome. Glad to have helped.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST Hi, i am trying to work out the difference between the electrostatic energy in an electron attached to an atom on earth and one of the same in space. Have you any idea?

  • @SASNIGHTCRAWLER why do you suppose there would be a difference?

  • love your accent

  • I have a question which I think would benefit all of us...(though hopefully not). What is the best way to survive a nuclear strike? Could you jump a river or would it be better to hide underground? When would you be able to move around outside again and could you eventually make it out of the nuclear zone on foot?

  • if you combine electrons and positrons and create pure energy, couldn't that energy be used as a fuel resource of some kind?

  • What about the unified theory? Hawking says that maybe the secret lies in gravity. " stephen Hawkins universe". Could there be more? To understand gravity at a particle level, he suggests, may be the golden egg. Have physicists considered the fact that gravity can be formed not only from mass/density but also from motion? Such as the board with a piece of rope in each end and a glass of milk sitting precariously in it's center scenario. Force = motion which in turns generates a

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST ok that makes sense. Thank you.

  • What exaclty would be the difference between anineutrons and regular neutrons? I have a feeling the answer is in some relation to ions.

  • @gadxyz well, their magnetic moment would be different (which would be hard to test though). As you might now, they also consist of anti-quarks rather than quarks. They thus would also form different things when beeing collided with other particles.

  • It's Sheldon answering physics! NERDGASM!!

  • So I have a question about the destruction and creation of matter then. Since matter cannot be created nor destroyed, what exactly is the annihilation process? I think of it as a destructive process. So in the way that I am seeing it, an electron and a positron get into contact, then they are destroyed and turned into energy? I'd like to know how that works, thanks.

  • @dustynmaster well, that is not correct as such. mass-energy cannot be destroyed, but mass can be converted into energy and vice versa.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST Hi again, I'm just replying to this energy destruction question, i think energy is the Higgs field in neutral form, the matter particle i think is the Higgs boson(god particle) of a siad frequency with an inner sub atomic black hole, energy is the universe and cant be destroyed, it just changes form. Energy or the frequency or data is passed from one particle(god) to another the energy doesn't travel its information does, it propagates

  • @SASNIGHTCRAWLER would you be much offended if I told you that you have no idea what you're talking about?

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST lol not realy,but there is a difference, so what is it? the difference being the particle at velocity, has an increase in electrostatic energy, creating a lower electron orbit, you should know that. I wanto know what the difference is thats all.Earth rotation is creating an increase in electrostatic energy and other things, and all the particles of matter that create the earth are creating due to their velocity or spin lower electron orbits.i just wanto know what the difference is

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST i dont know what im talking about? lol yes ok and the current model states matter has no mass, now, if you wanto follow that theory by all means. But i suppose by doing so you keep the jobs your in. why cant you accept the current theory is wrong?

  • @SASNIGHTCRAWLER apologies for earlier, let me rephrase that: I have no idea what you are talking about.

  • @dustynmaster... the laws of conservation of energy implies conservation of mass and visa versa due to the basic relationship E=mc^2. Experimentally at the subatomic particle level this has long been confirmed along with the conservation of momentum (p) in the collisions. As it turns out, the E and p are linked together in a more concise 4-vector relation that is a manifistation of the Minkowski space-time geometry.

  • lol @ picture not scale

  • I just saw this article today bbc.co.uk/news/science-environ­ment-11773791

    Your video really helped explain things for me. Thank you! :)

  • @yumyumsesame I'm glad it helped. Antimatter is fascinating stuff eh :)

  • umm if matter and anti matter isn't this "anniliation" and release of energy a HUGE explosion?

  • @stringlessjoe yes, if there is enough matter and antimatter anihilating

  • does antimatter have the opposite of mass?

  • @LcoolJfiveoh no, and i dont think there is such a thing.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST

    cool thanx for the reply :D

  • If we are able to fool higgs field will we be able to move faster?

  • @HKS2000

    If it's the higgs field that gives us inertial mass and if it's inertial mass that limits our acceleration (i.e. F=ma), then I suppose 'fooling' the higgs field would in deed allow us to reach high velocities much quicker and with less energy. but i don't know too much about this yet. In any case, we still shouldn't be able to move faster than the speed of light.

  • To get a mass to the speed of light you need infinite energy. Then does e=mc2 not equal infinite energy? Because mass is equal to the energy required to get that mass to the speed of light.

  • @ollieoniel E=mc2 is not the energy required to make a mass move at the speed of light. It's the energy you gain in radiation when you convert the rest mass of an object into energy e.g. in nuclear explosions, a tiny part of the mass of the explosive will have disappeart after the explosion (or been converted int o energy rather).

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST Thats if you take the classical mechanical point of view that states kinetic energy = 1/2 mv2. where relativistic kinetic energy = mc2/√(1-(v/c)2) -mc2 where c is the velocity of light.

  • You're faking that ridiculously sexy voice aren't you? No voice is naturally that sexy.

  • @DudeGuy16

    whoa someones gay

  • @LcoolJfiveoh and I have no problem with that at all

  • I don't get why math teachers don't explain the actual significance of mathematics. I sware I have learned more on youtube than I have in highschool.

  • @ShananiKings

    I think you have an excellent point there. If teachers got students to appreciate how our the nature of our universe can be understood through mathematics, I'm sure they would be much more attentive.

  • @ShananiKings... unfortunatley most HS math teachers are not practicing mathematicians and college math teachers are in all likelyhood practicing mathematicians... so you see neither is equiped to relay a clear connection between the abstract study of mathematics and the usage of such a field to create theories of the physical observations in nature... my advice to you is get to know a good theoretical physicist :)

  • @ShananiKings You "sware" or swear - indeed seems that you learned your lesson on youtube (Famous Quote: Stupidity rules the world)

  • You misspelled the title of your video: Ask a Physicist: Anatema

  • You can't even reproduce the text in front of you - that's because you have no idea what you are talking about and have to constantly look up the simplest phrases! What did you graduate with an MBA? Do us all a favor and stop "stupidifying" the people!

  • @vanko81 well no, I graduated with an MPhys. An MBA isn't a science degree. I'm sure you'll figure all of this stuff out when you go to university yourself. Good luck!

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST "An MBA is not a science degree" lol - this is exactly why I mentioned it :-) I thought you might say something along those lines - I am a PhD (Bio-science Engineering), and when I wrote my comment yesterday (as well as right now) I did it from an actual lab with actual "scientific equipment" M.S. is also not a real research degree (based on the M.S. students that I teach and knowing how much they don't know/study and "smoke weed"- what was you thesis topic on?

  • @vanko81 Engineering ... that's not really science either.

    Sorry I made you stupid, but I fear that might have been a pre-existing condition.

    My dissertation was on measuring the life times of B-hadrons from the Delphi detector data.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST Bio-science engineering is not a science :-) No comment, stupidity rules!

    It's not a dissertation, yours is a thesis, you are a simple M.S. You say you wrote "Measuring the life times of B-hadrons from the Delphi detector data" : So your name is Natale Demaria from the Department of Physics, University of Oxford and you published your article in J. of Nuclear Physics - YOU ARE A COMPLETE FRAUD! STOP COPYING THE WORK OF OTHER PEOPLE! PEOPLE LIKE YOU GIVE SCIENCE A BAD NAME!

  • @vanko81 Engineering, by definition, is but applied science. Not that that's a bad thing. But I guess it is not even scientific enough to get you to a point where you would understand my videos.

    and no, I didn't write that. That's not what I said.

    Now, I have really been as forthcoming as I can with you, but it's getting real tiring so would you kindly piss off.

  • @vanko81 PS, if you can't see the educational value of my videos, and even can't tell the difference between my work and plagiarism YOU SHOULDN'T BE TEACHING ANYBODY.

  • there's no such thing as planets or the sun or the universe or even atom. Our galaxy is simply 1 of a bunch of oreo cookies in God's cabinet. And one day (our end) is when his hand reaches for our cookie :( but there's probably billions so it's a small chance, and he only eats an oreo once or twice a month ^.^

  • @jarostone Your view of the universe seems quite black and white.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST My wife and Girlfriend are oppositely charged and they both exploded in front of my eyes lol

  • It's the Quarks that are reversed inside Neutrons and Protons in their anti equivalent. Quarks contain charge so therefore Neutron contains charge as well, except it becomes Neutral and cancels itself out. upQuark = 2/3 Positive & downquark = 1/3 Negative. Therefore a PROTON=(up 2/3 + up 2/3 - down 1/3)=1 ; NEUTRON=(up 2/3 - down 1/3 - down 1/3)=0. Anti-up & Anti-down quarks contain the opposite quark charges anti-up = -2/3 instead of positive & anti-down = +1/3 instead negative.

  • @sypha0x These charges are swapped around via Z boson termed 'Heavy Light', it's like a Photon but heavier than a photon and Electrically Neutral. The W+ & W- are the carriers of the charge of the Weak Force. Such as when a Proton turns to Neutron electric charge carried away to a positron by W+ & when Neutron turns to Protons the remaining electric charge is carried by W- and passed to an electron. =]

  • @sypha0x It is also quite possible that Nuetrinos might be the reason why all the antimatter disappeared after the big bang, leaving us in a universe of matter. I believe if this is true, Nuetrinos behave as the insulator between our matter world & that of the anti-matter world. Perhaps the entanglement between the production pair are still quantum entangled, allowing us to interface further into the anti-world or zpe field (zero point energy field) to get a better understanding of space. =]

  • Excellent video!

  • Can you explain the wave-particle duality that electrons seem to exhibit, based on the D.S.E, and maybe clear up some of the myths, one being that observance causes the wave interference to cease.

  • i understand the concept of electric fields from stationary charges but confused to why the magnetic field of a coiled wire with a current acts the way it does (loops around and through coil)also how does an electric field turn into a magnetic field exactly?

    sorry if my questions already been answered or is just plain stupid - in fairness to me most 20 year old single mothers don't understand the principals of quantum physics and quantum electrodynamics so please excuse my ignorance. Thanks

  • @melodylovescox You girls are way to afraid to ask questions. And this one is actually very good.

    According to standard model of particle physics, the forces in electromagnetic fields are transmitted via photons (much like the strong force, holding the nuclei together, is transmitted by gluons and the weak force by W and Z bosons). The way those photons are exchanged to interact with the particles is determined by the Feynman rules. I don't understand this too well myself atm, so, good question

  • What is the big bang theory . Thank you in advance.

  • @JacksonsDynasty58 a theory stating that the universe (all space and mass-energy) started as a singular point and has expanded ever since.

  • To my knowledge we have no means of containing antimatter for more than fractions of a second. Have there been new developments I am unaware of in containing antimatter? If so, is the electromagnetic field frequency publicly accessible?

  • To my knowledge we have no means of containing antimatter for more than fractions of a second. Have there been new developments I am unaware of in containing antimatter? If so, is the electromagnetic field frequency publicly accessible?

  • I meant allot

  • And uh I don't think alcohol is the most dangerous substance isn't nitro fuel worse or even mustard gas Mitch worse?

  • What if we could put antimatter let's say to drive a car if we try to use it wouldn't just containing antimatter use allot of energy already and just letting antimatter hit air wouldn't that cause catastrophic affects that's why I say that before we start messing around with anti matter we should study more on it.

  • @tjtheman3 Think of an antimatter engine like a jet or rocket engine. You mix the fuel to make the energy for propulsion. You then direct the thruster in the opposite direction in which you wish to travel. With antimatter/matter engines you would use electrons (matter) and positrons (antimatter) in controlled amounts. the energy created is then directed out of the thruster for propulsion. It's uses would not be for local travel, but rather to travel vast distances in the vacuum of space.

  • I think your videos are realy good! keep up the good work and thanks for replying to my question!

  • what is the most dangerous substance known to man kind?

  • @JacksonsDynasty58 If we're talking solely in terms of deaths that can be directly linked to the in take of the substance, I'd say alcohol.

  • if we do use antimatter as a fuel for spaceships wouldnt we have to be extremly careful because if the space ship fails and comes crashing down or blows up in air wouldnt the antimatter pretty much destroy the area with it making contact with normal matter?

  • @wowrulessss I think you have a good point there.

  • A you may or may not know we have recently discovered antimatter right here on earth it is found in some types of lightning (gamma ray flashes) it was found by a telescope charged with finding antimatter far off in our galaxy (Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope). I was wondering what your loose hypothesis was on why this happens. I tend to lean towards the idea that is there to control the size of the discharge. After all it is a universe of checks and balances.

  • A little disconcerting that as you know we have the ability to create highly ionized columns from ground to ionosphere. If you could help me out on this one it would be much appreciated.

  • if we do use antimatter as a fuel for spaceships wouldnt we have to be extremly careful because if the space ship fails and comes crashing down or blows up in air wouldnt the antimatter pretty much destroy the area with it making contact with normal matter?

  • if we do use antimatter as a fuel wouldnt we have to be extremly careful because if the spaceship fails and comes crashing down or blows up in air wouldnt all the antimatter pretty much destroy that area with it making contact with normal matter?

  • Do you think we will ever create better methods of creating antimatter in the future and if so how long until we reach that technology

  • are there anti-atoms??

  • generally no, there don't seem to be any around, but we can make them artificially. At CERN they have managed to produce at least anti-hydrogen (i.e. a positron orbiting an antiproton). Theoretically you could have an anti version of any molecule.

    They have also made something called positronium, which is a positron and an electron orbiting each other. this 'atom' has a very short lifetime though as the positron and electron annihilate of course

  • on earth this is true, on other places we do not know. Spectroscopic analysis may or may not produce the same spectrum as normal matter

  • other places?

  • perhaps in the outer reaches of the universe antimatter is far more abundant than normal matter. perhaps its closer than we think but spectral analysis yeids the same spectra as normal matter? just a fe thoughts

  • I like the way you explained Antimatter in an understandable way:)

  • What do you call antimatter's husband? unclematter

  • lol, I didn't know that one

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST Thanks I couldn't think of an intelligent question to ask so I panicked and told a joke - always works a charm! In seriousness though - do you think due to the ridiculous inefficiencies involved in producing antimatter it will ever be a viable fuel or energy source? If you had to speculate

  • It in deed. No need to panic though. All questions and jokes are welcome.

    As for the question, the only reason I can think of for using antimatter as a fuel is because it would be a very light and compact option. And the only mode of transport I can think of that would truly benefit from having a fuel so light and compact would be a space ship.

  • Now I guess it conceivable that we will have an antimatter powered spacehip, but thinking about the amound of work required not only by particle physicsist but also astronautics engineers, I'd say it would take quite a while till we get there.

  • there was a theory on possible reasons for the disappearing anti-matter. It was based on the theory of the big bang as the CERN project had tested in september. Only problem is the theory of the big bang being created by that reaction and the results they received indicated that the reaction would create more anti-matter and radiation. There is also the theory that anti-matter is some how atomically mixed within black matter and is pushing the universe apart. Does any of that make sense?

  • could u destroy a black hole by allowing it to absorb antimatter?

  • you couldn't ... anti matter in terms of mass is for all we know identical to ordinary matter so you wouldn't expect it to interact differently with black holes. Black holes can get destroyed through hawking radiation if they are small enough, but that is a more complicated issue.

  • correction: all black holes evaporate through hawking radiation, but the small ones evaporate quicker.

  • 1) How can we verify the reverse polairty of the protons? and what happens to nucleas in anti matter?

    2)I know lightwaves are to big to see atoms , but is there any video you know of that shows an atom with special microscope?

    3)If quantum mechanics is proven whats that mean for general and special relativity?

    4)Why is this world so complicated with so much information to disect?

    5)What is your personal view for a unifed field theory? Where is the answer to the ultimate equation?

  • but isn't there a theory that when the big bang happened that there was anti-matter and matter that was created....but due to the fact that there was more matter created that the anti matter was destroyed leaving matter? (read this in a book)

  • Absolutely, you're thinking of CP violation ... It's a bit too soon to get into that.

  • Angels & Demons rock!

  • if we can produce this fuel and work with it would we be abel to reach light speed ? And if we could, could any human survive a lightspeed trip ?

  • Well, no, it doesnt matter what fuel we use, according to relativity only massless particles can move at the speed of light.

  • Im doing my speech on antimatter.....THANK YOU!

  • You're very welcome. Good Luck!

  • yes or close to the speed of light is that posible?... and i have read that we can travel on the speed of light if we use worm holes in space to go through

    sorry for my bad english and thanks for the answears

  • worm holes are more science fiction at this stage than science fact. They could exist in theory.

  • this is very interesting

  • if anti-matter is built with oppositely charged particles than normal matter then what is different about neutrons and antineutrons since there is no charge to be reversed?

  • Well, that's what i didnt get into. Neutrons, although they have no charge, have a magnetic moment, due to their spin. The magnetic moment of anti neutrons points in the opposite direction.

  • in other words, they would behave differently in magnetic fields.

  • i was thinking the same thing...

  • what about dark matter?

  • just uploaded an episode on it.

  • is antimatter exist ? If Exists than can we use it as energy source ?

  • As I said, there is not much around apparently, so no.

  • antimatter uses for fuel like ufos. i think we even can make antimatter with our body like chi from meditation. there is no matter all is energy!!

  • Do you have or know any theories to why there is an imbalance of matter to antimatter? Also, if we assume that after the big bang the balance was kept, would their be anything that composes our world today? Finally, a friend of mine who wants to be a particle physicist when he grows up says that wikipedia is wrong in the fact that antimatter hardly exists. He says that there may be some galaxies composed of 99% antimatter. Is this possible/true?

  • Well, there are theories around but I did don't know enough about those currently. I like your friend's idea, but I have never come across it before. In theory such a universe could exist for all I know, but I'm not sure it would agree with our current theories about the origin of the universe.

  • You have a problem with authority, Mr. Anderson. You believe you are special, that somehow the rules do not apply to you. Obviously, you are mistaken.

    Geddit?

  • Sorry, no. What is the purpose of the matrix quote here?

  • None, just a bit of humour. To my ears you sound quite a lot like an agent. Infact I bet you could do a mean impression of one!

    Other than that, thanks for posting, very interesting.

  • Possibly. I'm not that good at dodging bullets or making people's mouths melt shut .... yet. I'll get there eventually I'm sure.

    anyways, thanks for the comment and your welcome.

  • Do you think anti-matter could be used as a weapon? and if so, how destructive would it be?

  • Unlikely, there is not enough of it around and it takes huge amounts of energy to produce it.

    watch?v=1VQuJD7iD3w

  • thank you i love anti mater

    did god make anti matter

  • You look like g-man from halflife :)
