brilliant now i know how my ipod charges up

Interesting stuff, Pretty good teacher

my thoughts on antimatter is that when u apply the concept of polarity then clarity will manifest. antimatter is a mirror. so what we perceived on our side of the coin appears reversed on the other side. on our side we are the mass and on the other side we are the space. on our side you see the sun and on the other side the sun is a black hole.

It would take me about 20 comments to explain why light bending toward mass does not necessarily equate to light bending away from negative mass. Suffice it to say that antimatter stars or galaxies either don't exist or can't be easily identified, and their light would ride with antimatter-attractive antiphased gravitons, and graviton receipts would reasonably tend to have equal but opposite trajectory-relations to graviton emits, bit like mutual heating on facing sides of two nearby hot coals.

I should add to what I just wrote that it also seems to me that inertial mass = E/c^2 is always positive regardless of whether gravitational mass is positive or negative.

[CACBCCCU]

Seems to me positrons must have positive energy, so for E= -mc^2 to hold they must have negative mass. Hopefully all antimatter is like that too, as it would keep things simple.

@MrKra7as Wtf is wrong with you? He is a teacher, but i dont think you have ever seen one of those in whatever poverty you live in

[MrKra7as]

what the hell is he talking bout dude. fucking nerd needs to take some shots and live it up

looks like highs school

@heartlessvietboy "Who did the other Professor get it from?"

Thank you for implying (I guess wildly) that I'm a Professor, but I'm not a Professor, I do not teach students. The notably pointless scrawlings are mostly self-taught, I'm an EE.

[CACBCCCU]

@heartlessvietboy Sorry to hear that. I guess you don't think congress should consider making the discovery of antimatter the basis for a new system of numbering years: 1932 = new year 0, either. Anyway, seems to me sign difference in gravitational charge between electrons and positrons could explain why cosmic ray energy above some threshold tends to concentrate into a 2-d form: electron- and positron-coupled parts of cosmic ray energy are seemingly oppositely deflected by intervening gravity.

Anti-matter is bull crap. Who did the other Professor get it from? The other Professor. Who did that Professor get it from. The other Professor. Who did that Professor get it from. The other professor. Where did it all come from?? Balogny!!
