Angels & Demons: The Science Revealed

"Angels & Demons: The Science Revealed:
Why physicists would love to trap antihydrogen, but the Vatican need not fear..." is about the science behind Dan Brown's novel and the new movie "Angels & Demons" that premieres May 15, 2009. Professor Joel Fajans will give the lecture, suitable for all levels of understanding.

In the Sony Pictures Entertainment movie directed by Ron Howard, actor Tom Hanks investigates a plot to destroy the Vatican using antimatter made at the Large Hadron Collider and stolen from the European particle physics laboratory CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research).

The free lecture, presented by the campus' Department of Physics, is one of more than 40 talks scheduled this month in Canada and the United States to draw attention to particle physics, the science of antimatter and CERN's newest instrument, the Large Hadron Collider.

CORRECTION: Bishop George Berkeley did not set out to disprove Calculus. He merely pointed out holes in Newton's limited explanation of Calculus. Newton and Leibniz neither fully proved Calculus nor lived to see the theroem's and rules by Cauchy, Riemann, and Weierstrass that filled in the flaws of Newton and Leibniz. It was also not mentioned that Augustin Cauchy, to whom we owe a great deal of gratitude for our understanding of Calculus and Physics, was a devout Roman Catholic.

This is definitely the most BS back & forth I've ever done on YT. Sorry to the uploader. Just curious i guess, to see if dicknose there would EVER just acknowledge that maybe one comment on YT might not have come across like the person who typed it meant it to. But No, dicknose will not. So I must concede. Apparently, although I was unaware of this, I absolutely believe, beyond everything that says otherwise, that MATTER CAN BE UN-CREATED!!!

In fact, I can do it. It is easy. do it all the time.

@metalhanded Oh, Le Gasp, I pressed Reply on the wrong comment. Surely this invalidates my point...

Look, whichever way you'll spin it, you were wrong. There's nothing incredibly bad about it, it happens to the best of us, but it's proof of mindnumbing ego and stupidity when you then go and say "Oh I never said that", when the comment in which you do say that is on the NEXT F-ING PAGE.

Many physicists say, during the big bang, antimatter canceled out most of the matter that existed initially. Supposedly it was far more matter than exist in our visible universe now. There are also particles that come into and out of existence all the time. Are these examples of matter and energy transferring to an undetectable state, or perhaps another dimension? Maybe they are what makes up the dark matter and dark energy. Or MAYBE, they WERE, and ARE being UNCREATED. We dont know everything.

@StrikaAmaru Ya know, technically, you called Yourself a stupid liar in your last reply because you directed it at...yourself. Now, I could be a dickhead and go on and on about how, no matter what you say, that you directed it at yourself and you indeed, did mean to call yourself a stupid liar. Or, I could acknowledge that maybe what you typed, or how it came across, is just different from what you actually meant.
