can someone please tell me what does the guy talking at 5:54 say? where do matter and antimatter vanish when they come toghether?

thank you

'..they destroy each other, and vanish into pure energy.'

[GameGuideSite]

They launch matter from each end of the collider at the speed of light to one specific area and when they smash into each other, theres a chance it could create anti-matter.

When anti-matter and matter combine, they become pure energy with enough power to create another hiroshima explosion.

Harnassing this energy could supply a city with electricity for a year or so, maybe less, maybe more.

@gigiko84 see the charge of the common proton and electron is positive and negative but in antimatter a electron has a positive charge (positron) and the proton a negative one (anti-proton) so when they come in contact they cancel each other and that results in a massive discharge of energy

@stevnev88

Yes, we are indeed on the brink of a very great change in Physics, something compared to the Gilded Era of our Science since 1899 until 1932!

Excellent work, but what about the uses for the Small Hadron Collider? Look at my film about it.

Very nice! At around 4:00 I thought I was watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Is that actually Vangelis playing in the background? Anyway, keep up the good work.

This is crazy! CERN has the LHC, and NASA has the "new and improved" version of the Hubble going up in 2013 (it's name escapes me)...we are on the brink of huge discoveries about the universe. it could lead to an enormous paradigm shift about the way we perceive and think about the world! I think NASA and CERN should team up

[Pseudoscience]

I knew it, the more science discovers you find their views move towards similar ideas to the aether of before, it makes much more sense and here we have a scientist going on about the vacuum vibrating, thats all there is when you get down to it, vibrations in the fabric of existence.
