The Mystery of Antimatter

[enjoidanielz]

The energy is conserved but what happens to the mass of the anitmatter and matter? The law of conservation of energy says there's equal amount of energy in the universe; so a closed system would have an equal amount of energy as it started with. The law of conservation of mass says that there is equal amount of mass also. So what happens in a close system where we react the anti matter with matter. Where does the mass go? [Not the energy but the mass] i think thatswhat CommanderRiley113 isasking

[deadman20008]

What happends if antimatter goes into a black hole

[Mekose]

@deadman20008 What happens if anything goes into a black hole? If matter is condensed to a point in a black hole and antimatter annihilates that point, there would be a unfathomable explosion of energy. Again this is theory and I have no idea what I'm talking about.

[Millinillion]

@Mekose . the more intresting would thingy is a antimatter blackhole- is this really a white hole ?

[CACBCCCU]

Simply put, I'd disagree with Max because one can say that the three properties of an electron are its electric charge, spin charge, and mass charge, not its electric charge, spin charge and "time charge."*

*"Time charge" is a term used here only to explain Max's logic.

Anyway, there has been some media-covered talk in the physics community about gravity being "left-handed" although the weak force is presently known to be "left handed." Just as with Max, confusion seems to be rule.

[CACBCCCU]

Someone vaguely mentioned at physorg that CPT symmetry is violated in antimatter/matter collisions. This means assuming a collision of equal but opposite CPT-symmetry particles the collision an equal amount of particles with +C and -C, +P and -P, +T and -T. If the effect of G increases with energy provided as bidirectional linear velocity (and relativistic mass), the broken symmetry may come from CPG not balancing. The massive weak force bosons may relativistically set the spin on the break.

[CACBCCCU]

There's a funny article including negative mass antimatter and dark energy/mass at physorg today, about some italian guy named Max Wells. Max seems to have the antimatter CPT thing all wrong, just like a lot of people. As a result, seems he does not get that positive charge behaves like negative charge with reversed parity simply upon reversing (aka inverting) time, i.e "running the electron movie backwards," as it were. Seems he casts negative gravity charge as reversed time,

-T=-G. Baloney?

[CACBCCCU]

Suppose (let's call it a fuzzy toy model) that the "gravitational charge cross-section" of a proton is the same as for its Heisenberg-ized fuzzily-distributed interior fermionic electric charges, thus giving an antimatter core surrounded by a lesser-volume shell of matter and a neutron with a smaller antimatter core surrounded by a equal-volume shell of matter. The exterior shell's positive gravitational charge "curvature" defines it to the rest of the universe as a particle with positive mass.

[CACBCCCU]

Dirac's theory suggested positrons exist, but his theory was developed for electrons and idealized nuclei, it doesn't predict quarks and their charges - the charge distributions within a nucleon. Seems to me the electron is pure matter and the positron is pure antimatter, so their gravitational charges should simply be opposites. Nucleons have a complex charge picture, but a solitonic gravitational/EM wave model may explain a lot of now-unexplained nuclear-scale and cosmological-scale phenomena.

[heartlessvietboy]

Its not Anti-Matter! Shut Up!!!!  Stop confusing the entire population with balogny stuff you really don't know.

[CACBCCCU]

Seems I should say the annihilation energy of (negative) rest mass seems to me to be best expressed by the volume of the gravity "well" ("peak") as limited above (below) by the featureless "Dirac sea" level of flat empty space. If a proton is seen as a layer of matter coating an antimatter core, then the collision of matter and antimatter sufficiently strong is as if the beams (anti-proton and proton) are reversed. More energy theoretically could open a new core and so it could flip back again.

[CACBCCCU]

I prefer to think of gravitational energy in terms of a quantum flux gradient (FG) rather than spacetime (ST) curvature, seems they're basically interchangeable concepts wherever GR is known to work, although the time aspect in ST curvature may not be self-evident to everyone who tries taking up the gravitational FG perspective, space-time curvature is also much more popular, and it's a lot easier to say than "gravitational quantum flux gradient with a light-frequency-shifting property."

[CACBCCCU]

Still trying to iron out some wrinkles, but here goes: Seems a positron behaves like a time-reversed electron. The time-reversed aspect of the particle is sufficent to flip the apparent sign of the charge, also the spin and the gravitational effect (-T = (-C)(-P)(-G)). The reason positron rest mass energy doesn't appear to be flipped along with mass is that its carried by the so-called space-time "curvature" and it doesn't matter if the curve is of a well (positive mass) or peak (negative mass).

[CACBCCCU]

SLAC's channel has an interesting new lecture on antimatter that's over an hour long.

[CACBCCCU]

Maybe a better way to consider negative mass and energy is to see a positron as a particle existing in a resonance coupling with the vacuum background fields, same as an electron, but 180 deg o.o.phase. When the particles annihilate, the resonant state of the vacuum surrounding each particle is relaxed and this relaxation generates gamma.

[CACBCCCU]

If one supposes antimatter has negative mass, then it seems all the energy of annihilation must come from the kinetic energies of the two particles. In any event, antimatter is conventionally believed to have negative energy, so the same need arises to take annihilation product as being the residual of the kinetic components.

[felon124]

Chuck Norris eats antimatter.

[K4inan]

How could anything anti, exist without that which it is anti of? I would say that Antimatter and matter combining, is the fuel of the universe. Black holes exists to transport and harness that energy, giving it to galaxies. The universe is an equilibrium, an ecosystem much like earth.. If scientists took that as an standpoint, it would open new eyes to them.

[rsexplorer20]

Antimatter can be use to power a rocket at high speeds

[heartlessvietboy]

Matter was something used by the Ancient thinkers to describe things that exists in the Universe. Things are being changed on Wikepedia to cover up for the FALSE information that is being presented. What we have discovered today is not Matter or Anti-Matter, it is things that require us to give it a CORRECT NAME.

[ReligionRetard]

Does it matter!?

[PivotPiAnimations]

@ReligionRetard Buh-dum *cymbal crash*

[WhereIsTheExit]

Well that was cool.

[CACBCCCU]

Maybe the way to put that is the +proton is stablest and more massive than the -e at the atomic scale, so the atom's charge impact combination is -+-, while for an unbarred spiral galaxy taken axially the charge combination is reversed to +-+ if equating positive charge with antimatter. Seems antimatter (+) has stability dominance at the proton-to-atom range, while ordinary matter (-) is maybe providing the structural stability going on up to galactic scale, with a 10^-4m weak scale in-between.

[CACBCCCU]

If a spiral galaxy forms an antimatter/matter/antimatter sandwich and barred galaxies seem to be collapsing matter/antimatter/matter, while the neutron decays to a proton going from d-u-d to u-d-u with charge polarities going from -+- to +-+, then it seems the characteristics of stabilty and charge are reversed going from baryon scale 10^-15m to galaxy scale 10^21m. Taking the EM/weak ratio as 10^11 puts the weak force about 1/3 the way between EM and G, and maybe at a stability crossover point.

[cococup9607]

Scientists just recently discovered how to create a antimatter! It was a anti hydrogen atom, but it lasted an icredible 1/10 of a second!!! I cant wait till it comes out in the news, our text books may be changed, and even the big bang theory might be reconsidered! This is huge!

[CACBCCCU]

Seems they've recently imaged two large lobes of low energy (or dark) antimatter-dominated space above and below the galaxy. Looks like they are picking up galactic core lobes that together extend almost 50,000 light-years from tip-to-tip, above and below the galactic plane.

[chinosmydreamo]

@CACBCCCU you are right - it seems to be emanating from the giant black hole that's believed to reside in the middle of the Milky Way.

[CACBCCCU]

@chinosmydreamo I guess inside the lobes it's dark because pure antimatter can't condense into stars. The whole formation is sort of like down-up-down quarks in a line, going lobe-galaxy-lobe, but up and down quarks are both supposed to be matter quarks. On the other hand, it seems like they could just simply decide that the down quark is mostly antimatter and the up quark is mostly matter, and that wouldn't involve a complicated reshuffle of the standard model.

[CACBCCCU]

@chinosmydreamo the idea of giving each quark a matter and anti-matter component looks solid, it seems like a simple way of incorporating gravitational concepts and holographic-distributional principles into the standard model at the same time, as it has a fractal character to it.

[CACBCCCU]

@CACBCCCU

The holographic aspect for a -lobe,+ring,-lobe pattern can be created by considering the lobes and rings to be transformations of each other. The lobes can be recast as tight rings, giving a smaller round bead for an antimatter lobe vs a larger flattened bead for the matter ring. An inner stringlike geometry passing through all three parts then links all three together and mirrors the whole.

[CACBCCCU]

@chinosmydreamo

The -lobe,+ring, -lobe galactic matter/antimatter geometry could explain the Einstein cross pattern seen in lensing.

Idealizing the -lobe,+ring, -lobe pattern and bringing it to quark level, if the total negative charge of the two lobes is equal to the total positive charge of the ring, and if each lobe has equal charge, then the ratios for -lobe,+ring, -lobe are -1, +2, -1. Normalize that by dividing by 3 and one has the 3 quark charges for a neutron.

[CACBCCCU]

If the neutron is -round+flat-round then the proton would be +flat-round+flat and this pattern is sometimes seen in the more distant younger galaxies, but it apparently collapses over time. It's also similar to some planetary nebula, whereas neutron stars are more like mesons, +flat-round, with a single antimatter bubble, like the one apparently visible behind the crab pulsar. The holographic interior stringlike geometry that links the two +flats together then corresponds to the galactic bar.

[CACBCCCU]

@CACBCCCU

Having thought about it a bit more, it seems the "up" quark is the better for being more anti-matterish in character. The "up" quark has twice the charge but half the energy of the "down" quark, and the charge is positive. My thinking now is that positive charge could be entirely an antimatter-dominated type of thing that is itself dominated by matter as a form of self-interference that accompanies mass.

[orion4mm]

Hits regular matter a vas explosion is made sot a like a gun shot

[orion4mm]

Anti matter is till matter it is just more of a odd version of it when anti matter

[MichoAngelos]

The matter can not be destroyed, it can only change in to some sort of energy, so fighting the 1st law is not a good idea :)

[haxproductions1]

when matter meets antimatter, it cancels itself out thus causing a chain reaction to normal stuff around it and kablamo

100%

[davothebum2201]

ohhhhhhhhhhh now it makes sense...

[CommanderRiley113]

what i wonder is if anti matter does destroy matter in a instant of contact then what happens to the remains. After all matter and information can not be destroyed only changed so what would happen to these particles and atoms and quarks?

[ANGOOSE720]

@CommanderRiley113 well the matter is just converted to energy (photons) in accordance with E=mc2. Because in order to create an antiparticle you have elevate the energy of a particle with negative mass. For instance if you had an electron with mc2= -1 in order to bring it in to the positive sea you have to add 2, making an electron with mc2=1. It is the hole in the negative sea the electron leaves behind that is the antiparticle (positron), and if they meet the electron falls into hole

[Lineridarz]

@CommanderRiley113 pure energy is formed called photons.

[propeng1]

@CommanderRiley113 Energy? (if that's possible)

[Torblade]

@CommanderRiley113 The remains are photons :) electron vs positron are converted in two photons

[ergius1988]

@CommanderRiley113 transform to energy. See, energy is also conserved at all times just as matter, so by transferring matter to energy (and back) you don't lose any at all from the universe.

[z3xor3749]

@CommanderRiley113 radiation

[Fortstorm]

@CommanderRiley113 Energy, one gram of anitmatter could produce 429.6 kilotons.

[STABBERBALBOA]

@CommanderRiley113 Converted to pure energy which then decays

[Jord838]

@CommanderRiley113 Anti Matter and Matter are complete opposites which cancel each other out of existence.  The only reason we cannot find much Anti matter is because towards the begging of our universe there was 1 more matter for every 1,000,000,000 Anti Matter meaning everything in our universe today is the left overs from the start.

[hAxelUlmestig]

@CommanderRiley113 It all turns into energy. E=mc^2 you know. where m is the mass of the particles c is the light speed constant and E is the amount of energy they turn into.

[hartistry1957]

"Ob-zervi-tree", I cut one down once.

[lorthin123]

This video is old! Everything here is irrelevant now since CERN has now learnt that matter rules over antimatter with a ~1% difference.

[paul556]

antimatter so maybe heaven is maid of antimatter and earth is made of matter

it just cross my mind im not saying its true

if there is any sciencetist out there tell me what you think about it is it possible

[lorthin123]

@paul556 No. Anti matter and matter aren't irrelevant from each other. Besides matter always has a ~1% difference to antimatter. So that would mean we were made by a HUGE amount of matter AND antimatter. But just imagine! If all of the matter in the universe, not just the observable, were brought together; an unbelievable amount of matter would have been present to the exact ratio of antimatter to make us from its "imbalanced" difference.

[paul556]

@lorthin123 could you watch a video for me and explain , if you do a google search for THE ILLUSION OF REALITY it a BBC program watch from min 8 to 15 you will see he explain that all matter has a oppersite and if he ever meet( hes ) )antimatter they would explode please watch let me khow what you think, and tell me other thing has anyone that had died and had a outer body experience ever reported touching there own body 

[lorthin123]

@paul556 It's called annihilation when antimatter and matter "regress" into nothing. Matter doesn't have opposites, in fact if it did then "antimatter" wouldn't exist because matter does in fact exist. All they are, are different, in every aspect, by a select number of ways, by a scientific listing. Not a methodical one. Example they have negative charges, and the other would have positive charges.

And I think if someone has the nerve of titling a program an illusion about reality I won't watch.

[paul556]

@lorthin123 Well its a BCC program not a you tube make up, i take it you don`t khow about quantum physics 1 in 10 billion correct info by maths , and reality is a illusion if you look at a atom its 99% nothing and if you zoom into matter with a microscope you will see it turns into nothing, every thing you see hear is a electric signal and a atom also , therefore you only think something is real beacuse your electric brain tells you its is real, so give it a watch and look at the maths

[lorthin123]

@paul556 ? Look I know a whole lot more about physics and ENGLISH than anyone here, including you. Look you want to make your point across make it clear. I didn't understand your reply, it made no sense whatsoever. Please re-reply me what you had already said because it is by far almost incomprehensible. An atom is not 99% nothing then if it was it would be 99% non-existent, which is IMPOSSIBLE! Nothing could exist by being half non-existent it breaks the laws of nature.

[paul556]

@lorthin123 you dont want to watch a program about quantum physics

do you believe in quantum physics or not?

everything we see is a illusion , its seems that you dont want to ascpet that everything is a hologram, science now also says that you view everything in you brain at the back and you senses make you think its real so therefore we may not even be hear nothing exist thats why a atom turns into nothing watch holographic universe, i only ask you to watch programs to get you opinion

[paul556]

@lorthin123and also you should khow that the laws of nature. play no part in atoms they almost contradict each other, if you look at a brick wall it looks solid now if you look at the atom in a brick wall it is not solid now where does the laws of nature fit into that, the laws of nature only apply on the outside of a atom where did you learn physics and if you want to talk about IMPOSSIBLE! by the laws of nature.

a atom turning into nothing is IMPOSSIBLE! witch is now fact

[lorthin123]

@paul556 And another thing, everything you see on the monitor is PHOTONS= LIGHT... understand?

[lorthin123]

@paul556 .... Are you serious? You have no idea what PHYSICS IS DO YOU? What you're talking about is biology. Understand? The human capacity, limits, what not. Of course... only someone the likes of you would mix physics and biology up.

[paul556]

@lorthin123 ok your the expert but do you believe in quantum physics or not?

[lorthin123]

@paul556 There's no "believing" in quantum physics. It's either you know about quantum physics or too arrogant/ ignorant to accept it.

[sdfg512]

E=mc vagina

[plutone220696]

@ItsMeAshleigh antimatter and matter exists in the same universe

[girocraz]

if matter: E=mc2

antimatter : -E=mc2

yeah never getting energy

[plutone220696]

@girocraz m is for mass

antimatter also has mass so therefore it applies to the formula

[farnsworth14]

@ItsMeAshleigh That's stupid

[googpower]

so freaky

[XpEAnUTBuTtERsUckSX]

its not really destroyed though, its converted into energy (photons) sorry :)

[robertlewisvazquez]

this almost relates to the events of 2012

[farnsworth14]

@robertlewisvazquez So does a lot of things. What's your point?

[robertlewisvazquez]

@farnsworth14 When I wrote this I was being a smart ass!!!! That's the exact point.

[longboardcoop]

poop

[sidewaysfcs0718]

maybe the resulting positrons are hawking radiation??

so virtual electrons and positrons are created all the time but theior vitual and dissapear fast ..however near a black hole they take energy away from it and then become real particle wich fly out ... and the black hole looses mass cus it lost energy and e=mc*2

[sidewaysfcs0718]

and anti matter isnt anything misterious, its just normal particles with the opposite charge.

a positron for example , is just an electron with a positive charge

if an anti matter and matter particle come together they anihilate into pure energy as photons.

so according to E=mc *2 if u had a gram of anti hydrogen and a gram of hydrogen that would produce four times the energy of hiroshima :)

however it would costs us 51 trillion dollar to make a gram of anti hydrogen and contain it.

[jrro0t]

@sidewaysfcs0718 noooooo, its not just something with the opposite charge. i cant really explain it, but i know its not any atom with a different charge. They contain the anti matter using magnets, which doesnt cost a lot. But you are right about the cost to actually make it

[girocraz]

they are anti-particles, of course you keep it with magnet. Keeping inside a container would just annihilate them

[plutone220696]

@girocraz in vacumn

[lorthin123]

@girocraz No, that's completely wrong. In terms of annihilation. Matter will always rule over antimatter. With a 1% difference.

[plutone220696]

@jrro0t yea, using tonnes of electricity to power all the measuring equipment and superconducting magents, then buying precise magnets so that they can safely contain the antimatter

[hartistry1957]

@sidewaysfcs0718 Listen, it's spelled fucking MYSTERIOUS. What's not mysterious, is people acting like they are fucking astrophysicists. I challenge you to do REAL scientific research before you try to tell us WHY WE ARE FUCKING HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE READING YOUR BULLSHIT.

If you respond, I will haunt you for all YT eternity.

[paul556]

@hartistry1957 your acting like a nob people have a right to there opinion and i guess you do to if you have not got nothing good to say then fuck off you cunting hore

[hartistry1957]

@paul556 "Cunting Whore"? Bahaahahahahahahahahah.....Bah­ahahahahahaah...

I never knew Cunt could be a gerund:) What is: cunting whore? let me guess: Stud?

[tgoolsby2]

@sidewaysfcs0718 antimatter is very mysterious. why isn't the universe made up of antimatter if the initial condition was equal amount of matter and antimatter? What about CP violation? If you can't answer those questions then its a mystery.

[sidewaysfcs0718]

@tgoolsby2 the origin is a mystery ..anti matter itself sint ..its a misuse of words.

the original conditions right after the big bang where matter predominant ...since the big bang wasnt simmetrical.

[tgoolsby2]

@sidewaysfcs0718 I don't know about that. Unless new discoveries have been made, I remember reading that the original conditions a moment after the big bang should have been 50% matter and 50% antimatter. It's because energy can sometimes turn into matter and when it does it forms a matter particle and an antiparticle at the same time so that they annihilate each other the next instant. My point earlier was that no one has solved it yet, so far as i know.

[Lineridarz]

@tgoolsby2 the point of which the universe originated was before the big bang, pure energy, when the big bang happened it caused the energy to turn to matter, since energy is neither negative nor positive ( different from matter and anti-matter) the energy "split" to form about 50% matter and 50% anti-matter, fortunately matter had about 1 atom of matter per billion atoms more than anti-matter, the 2 "balls" of anti-matter and matter then annhiliated each other and caused "the big bang".

[tgoolsby2]

@Lineridarz "matter had about 1 atom per billion atoms than anti-matter. there is your answer."

Yeah but why? I think when energy becomes matter it must do so by becoming one part matter and 1 part anti matter. Then when the matter and anti-matter collide they go back to pure energy. Where is the extra normal matter coming from. There shouldn't be left overs.

[Lineridarz]

@tgoolsby2 Sorry, you will probably have to life with that mystery for your entire life.

[Lineridarz]

@tgoolsby2 Everything we are today are the 1 atom per billion atoms of matter, so that puts how big the big bang really was.

[Lineridarz]

@tgoolsby2 matter had about 1 atom per billion atoms than anti-matter. there is your answer.

[JanillaProductions]

@sidewaysfcs0718 Gratz on reading wikipedia

[slik204]

@JanillaProductions

You see, I hate comments like these. I doubt that was from wikipedia first off, the guy clearly demonstrates knowledge on it. People have questions, he has answers, people don't like reading long paragraphs on wikipedia to find out an extensive detailed definition of what anti-matter is. They DO however want the interesting facts, which this guy gave us. So unless you have anything to contribute besides "Gratz on reading wikipedia" in your sophomoric sarcasm... Leave.

[TheJPlol]

@JanillaProductions nothing wrong with reading wikipedia as long as u remember what u've read

[norisak]

@sidewaysfcs0718 Its not E=mc*2 its E=mc^2.

[sacr3]

@sidewaysfcs0718 And don't forget, millions of years to gather that amount.

Antimatter, when detonated is only 40% efficient. 60% is shot off as pions, which in turn decay into neutrinos thus becoming harmless to us. But 40% efficiency is still insane compared to 0.7% with a nuclear bomb.

[Rac665]

[uja11]

Can any one explain the defenition of the radio waves?

There is sound (you can hear it),

there is light (you can see it)

there is wind,explosion, radiation....(you can feel it)

but what about radio...neither can you hear, see or feel it witaut radio devices....i just dont understand!

[lilgangstas69]

its that your eyes and ears are tuned to see and hear a certain frequency

[uja11]

oh, yeah....makes perfect sense.

Thanks!

But still, why does it differ from normal sound?

Why another frequency?

[allenmanbear]

what don't you understand? they are all at different frequencies. your ears pick up sound at 20 to 20,000HZ...eyes process light at 400 and 750 terahertz...radio waves cant be sensed because we dont have organs to do so. we use radio waves to send information like the music you hear on the radio. we MIX (modulate) the music with radio waves so they can travel long distances.when it gets to your car the radio "subtracts" the radio waves so all you get is the audio. its easy.

[sidewaysfcs0718]

radio waves are low energy photons , the same particles that make up light

photons are the carrier particle for electro-magnetism.

the electro magentic pectrum is like a huge pallet of colors ..but only a small portion in the middle has actual colors ..the other portions are invisible.

there is radio waves, infla red waves, light, ultra violet , x-rays, gamma rays

all are made from photons at different wave lenghts .

[uja11]

@sidewaysfcs0718 finnaly someone, who does know how to explain something! Thanks allot.

You know phisiscs very well. :)

[melis256]

@sidewaysfcs0718

"there is radio waves, infla red waves, light, ultra violet , x-rays, gamma rays"

You forgot micro waves in between radio and infra red waves.

[farnsworth14]

@melis256 You forgot mega rays, super rays, Xtreme rays, super-mega rays, and anti-super-mega-Xtreme rays.

[melis256]

@farnsworth14

ROFL xD

[SuperMagnetizer]

Actually, light is an energetic waving of the magnetic background, in my humble opinion. All charged particles (electrons and protons) in the Universe throw out this undetectable magnetic sea which appears as the vacuum, because the magnetic fields seem to cancel out. When light is emitted by a vibrating electron, or one changing electron shells, this jiggles the magnetic sea, sending out ripples at the speed of light. We detect these ripples as photons.

[liebnitz123]

angels and demons is a sick film, but a certain part of the film which I refuse to spoil should have been about times 9000 as epic a bang. if you've seen it and know some science you'll get me.

[vampeee]

I want an atom smasher in my backyard now!!!!

[Gmister2]

perhaps the antimatter is on the other side of the universe. and if those positrons are coming from a black hole, how do they escape the gravity?

[sidewaysfcs0718]

black holes do emit some particles ...its called hawking radiation

thats why mini black holes (like the ones inside the LHC) cant live long enough since they run out of mass from the emission pf particles ..

if a black hole can suck in matter faster than it can expell it out ..than it grows ..if not it disperses/.

[smokeydasharky]

so matter can be destroyed! Im going to fight the 1st law :P

[joecooldl]

no it has a resulting photon particle. matter was converted. still there... i think :/ srry if im wrong

[waterutalkingabout]

Well not technically destroyed, but converted, to energy

[sidewaysfcs0718]

matter can be transformed into photons and other bosons throo anihilation ..but never destroyed...

the only matter can truely dissapear is the one made from borrowed energy...like virtual particles ..they are made from nothing at all ..they are what "fields" are made of ..they only live for a short time ..billionths of a second..

[SuperMagnetizer]

@sidewaysfcs0718

Pair production occurs when a highly energetic photon such as a gamma ray is subjected to a strong electric field. In other words, light + electric field = material. What if the positron is somehow converted into a proton? Then new matter in the Universe could be under continuous creation, and it also explains the disappearance of the antimatter!

[sidewaysfcs0718]

light and electric field are both made out of photons .....

so that kinda sounds missleading ...

maybe the electro-magnetic field is made of virtual photons and light is real photons ..i get that ..

what i dont get is how are photons different in energy? dont all photons carry the same energy?

still got stuff to learn apparently..

[SuperMagnetizer]

@sidewaysfcs0718

No, not all photons carry the same energy. E = hf means that the energy of a photon depends on its frequency, where h is Planck's constant. Also, electromagnetic fields are made of magnetic fields, in my view, not virtual photons. I believe electric fields are merely magnetic effects, which is why electric generators all use magnetic fields to create electromotive forces (voltages). The real question is, what's a photon? No one knows.

[sidewaysfcs0718]

actually quantum mechanics say all fields are made of quanta ..

virtual particles that come in and out of existence ..u cant just say its a field ..like a continous entity ..it has to be maid of particles...

whats a photon ...well ..a particle ..as far as we know its the basic electro-magnetic force carrier ...

when they speed up particles in accelerators ..in order to increase their energy ..they basicly apply an electro magnetic field and current .. so they "pump" photons into particles..

[SuperMagnetizer]

Well, I'm not a Quantum Mechanic, but I do know that light exhibits wave-particle duality. As a wave, light can do things like defract, interfere, etc. As a particle, it can set off photon detectors, excite electrons (photoelectric effect), etc.

Here is how I see it: light is a wave that appears as a photon-particle whenever a wave "spashes" into a detector, your eyeball, or whatever. Similarly, a "sonic boom" is actually a supersonic shock wave passing your location.

[sidewaysfcs0718]

actually its a particle

but since it always dissapears and re appears ..it acts like a wave ....this is even prooven by heisenberg's uncertainty principle ..

all elementary particle dissapear and reappear ...by doing this they create wave patterns ..

so when a light travels as a wave ..its actually dissapearing and reappearing up and down transverse to the direction of travel ....

this in short means "motion" doesnt really exsit ..its just "phasing" ..since it happens so fast ...

[sidewaysfcs0718]

yes but quantum mechanics says waves ar just particle phasing in and out of existence thats why they are called waves ..

so they are always particles ....but move as a wave of probabilities....

its an actual wave like u imagine a spring or something ....

@smokeydasharky first law of wat?

[nurseddj]

@smokeydasharky Dude:

Ever seen Angels and Demons?

E=mc^2. Technically you're not breaking the first law, as matter is being changed to energy, and in this case MASSIVE amounts of energy

[selraith123]

@smokeydasharky the mateter is not destroyed, just turned into energy, so no information is lost

[lorthin123]

@smokeydasharky Matter can't be destroyed because matter always rules over antimatter.

[xLittleVinnie]

@smokeydasharky

matter has always been able to be destroyed... nuclear reactions show that

[berabero89]

@xLittleVinnie the matter isn't destroyed, it is just taken apart to a subatomic level

[Lineridarz]

@berabero89 no, its turned into rays of pure energy. Called photons.

[berabero89]

@Lineridarz photons aren't pure energy, although i agree that the mass is converted into energy (matter cannot be created or destroyed, mass can)

[Lineridarz]

@berabero89 im 14, i have very limited knowledge on this subject, dont expect much ^^, to know that much is slightly impressive.

[nikeschnd]

@smokeydasharky Yes, but no. The mass is converted straight to energy such as gamma rays or photons. E=MC^2 pretty much say that mass converted into energy yields very high potential, like the atomic bomb, but it also says that the same amount of energy can be converted straight back to matter. So while the amount of matter in the universe can change, the energy changes with it. Thus, they need to make the "Conservation of Mass and Energy" law, instead of two separate ones.

lol whats with the music

[gvsfgdf]

fucking black hole im gonna punch it in the face

[wimbotkang]

guys, why there is so much matter? cos it is cheap particle physics, like fission. the look of matter is like sh*t, no style no history - Take a look at anti-matter. those how hate ANTI-MATTER. try to look at new antimatter X and matter. antimatter forever. was riding matter electron, than antimatter positron. forget matter find something better than few stars, find rantimatter.

[jamiejoh04]

Thanks. I find all this fascinating but I struggle to keep up with the physics!

[projecrunway]

angels and demons yes amazing

[farstadman]

if u think that crappy movie was amazing u should read the davinci code :)

[azfar122000hakim]

angels&demons the movie was suckish, i'd prefer the book.. the movie was such a$#%$#%

[kozagong]

movie was gr8 :]

[cheezeit40]

It was angels and demons

[SlashIStheShit]

Would it be possible to ,ake an anti matter engine?

[EmilxLollipop]

if we could get one person on 80 kilos and the same amount of antimatter and get 100% of the energy would we be able to power up everything on earth for 5 years..

[sciencequeen100]

I would like to recommend a book to you if you find anti-matter and the anti-world interesting. The book is called "Anti Matter" written by Frank Close. He gives you the hard facts softly. Nothing to technical!

[BVargas78]

But what about Uncle Matter?

[vitriolicscott]

KimGotSkill, learn how to use some punctuation you asshole.

[urmomisacunt]

Guys.. have you read the VERY beginning of the book before the book began... =_=

it even saids CERN and antimatter IS real... but the content in the way he writes them as is not =_=

[KimGotSkill]

Can't you defy the fact that planets cant grow cause if you harness antimatter and force it to the earths core, can it like reverse the gravity because of the north and south will not be connected so you like, expand the earth till it grows to the point where our gravity is resotred back to 1 but with a larger planet

im just rambling on

sorry

[shokteenik]

No.

[buddieG420]

you cant harness antimatter, because if matter and antimatter ever came in to contact it would create an enormouse explosion of energy the size of a billion atom bombs

[PirateXzibit]

You can produce and store antimatter, if that's what you're saying. A billion atom bombs?? you'll need plenty of antimatter. You'll need 1kg of antimatter to even come close to

the Tsar-bomba, the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. The human race will never ever be able to even one gram of antimatter. One SINGLE Gram Currently costs $62 500 trillion dollars to produce.

[jamiejoh04]

You can apparent;y, in a Penning Trap, using a constant static magnetic field and a spatially inhomogeneous static electric field. (Whatever that is!)

[Whitto77]

You idiot, that depends on the size of the specimen.

[Npetsch]

Please take anything Dan Brown says with a huge grain of salt. (and a slice of lemon and a shot of tequilla if available)

The guy is an imbecile, that pretends to know what he's talking about. He writes with all the skill and elequence of a 14 year old with a thesorus.

[johnmerriman]

just read angels and demons - AMAZING

[blueinfinity08]

lol, you read my mind. hate how he likes to mix in fact with crap.

[ale848]

So is Cern a real thing?

i read it in that Dan Brown book but am unsure

[he11dwe11er]

lol )))

CERN is indeed real, its a european organisation for nuclear research, located in Geneva. And since you've all read the book, the large hadron collider is also real (although i would imagine you'd know about it) it is meant to go for a test trial in august this year (this month!)

[Marthanph]

Well, it says in the beginning of the book that it is real. So I guess/hope it is.

[SovieTiko310]

this was in angels and demons. CERN and antimatter

[kupoandmoogle]

i loved that book. 'twas epic
