antimatter

Why would there be annihilation?

What if, say, one antiparticle escapes, how much annihilation would there be, and how much damage would it cause?

How did I pick the wrong username...?

I've actually heard that it's approximatly the size of a baseball.

The only way to contain antimatter is extremely difficult. You would need a near complete vacuum and an extremely powerful magnetic field.

Well, I suppose you're right, but I don't think it's expanded that quickly since the Big Bang. By the way, my bad for making the c uppercase, it was an accident that I unfortunatly make quite often.

I was quoting so that people would know who and what I am responding to... and I was sure, that's why it's so expensive; because of the particle deaccellerators. Sorry if I offended you so much by accidently phrasing my comment incorrectly...

How did I seem sure of myself...

Everything has a speed limit, C, known a little better as the speed of light, as my science teacher says.

Actually particle accellerators aren't used to make them. Scientists use a lovely little device known as a particle deaccellerator to slow down the antiparticles until they are slightly cooler so they can study them. Antimatter is currently the most expensive substance on Earth.

Yeah, I think it's a good idea to also have a discussion of science magazines.

That's essentially why I though plasma would be a much more effective weapon than laser. I think that they use plasma for blasters also. Why would it need a high radio frequency transmitter, and I also think that a dewar is a little unnecessary, can't a magnetic field just hold it in place...?

Ah I didn't really enjoy that book. Dan Brown in general isn't one of my favorite writers, in fact I don't like him very much at all. The Antimatter part was interesting, though not necessarily realistic

I agree with most people on this thread, isn't everything data? Everything seen with our optical nerves and brought to our brain isn't it all just data?

Oh okay thanks. So essentially all the particles behave the same way?

Ah I'm sorrry, I must have missed it, my bad...

The Universe is made up of an infinite number of four-dimensional spaces.

Ah okay, that makes more sense. Does a negative charge affect the neutron's behavior in anyway?

Yes that actually helps a great deal, thanks

So essentially it has the same behavior of a normal neutron, just the quarks are reversed? If there is no charge how can it be postively magnetic?

Actually, there are many photons in space. If there were 'virtually no photons' then we wouldn't be able to see the moon, the stars, or anything else in space.

I think that your image will stay there, but as long as the observer is there to see it. It's just sort of a fold in time that causes that loop to freeze the person's image there. Am I correct?

To an observer

I'm sorry, I'm not really sure what those units mean...like L/min~ 3in and RF power and N2(I) dewar, do you mind explaining some of those terms?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, if you go through the event horizon won't your image still stay there, but frozen in time?
