  • Agreed. Better to be called a "nerd" and get a scholarship to Yale than to be cool and be an ice cream man.

  • Science is cool.

  • I do not believe that the universe have equal amount of matter and anti matter, this is the same as if we said that the world must have the same amount of acidic substances and alkaline substances!? What do you think?

  • While I am programming, I reduce problems so that it is simpler to visualize.

    In the beginning, the universe had no matter, just the void.

    Then, from no where, two gamma waves hit each other head on.

    It creates a neutron, and its anti neutron.

    Normally only existing for a very short time, because gravity would pull the two together, and would annihilate on contact.

    But this time, for no reason, space between the two particals expands immensely.

    They never contact or destroy each other again.

  • John, Ive been thinking about this question of matter and antimatter, parallel dimensional universes and antimatter universes. Antimatter has no place in a matter universe, so couldn’t antimatter be forced into a parallel dimension? And, if so wouldn’t it be hard of imposable to capture it? Couldn’t the incredible forces in the centre of some planets be like an atom smasher?

  • And if so, creation of new (protons) matter can take place. Then moving (antiprotons) antimatter over to an antimatter dimension. The energy rich environment such as the centre of the earth may not allow for the release of energy to annihilate the antimatter rather it may be easier to move the antiproton over to another dimension. The earth may have or be expanding

  • mind = blown

    And I like ice cream

  • i haven't yet...but who knows?

  • 5/5

  • Have you got a sholarship at Yale... there is nothing wrong with ice cream men.... you could become one of those ice cream men.
