Dark matter

Question: How are these topics similar>? You might want to look at Einstein's theory or Relativity, or Relative mass. Best of luck

Wow, that's really neat. It gives you an idea of how big we really are.

I totally agree the Author sucks, but he's a fiction writer... and did like some of Angels and Demons, however some of the book was kind of confusing in the way it was bsing me. Stephen Hawkings or even Carl Sagan I think are much better writers, as well as stay consistent to the truth.

Clarification: I believe Einstein said "you cannot travel at the speed of light because if you did, you would instantly reach your destination." (Theory of relativity) My theory, which is based off that, is that since space expands into nothingness, space may be expanding faster than the speed of light. By the way, awesome signature.

Yes, I am familiar with the penning trap. Also, Angels and Demons is a great book that I have read. However, I just visited the Athena project and the Alpha project on anti-hydrogen, and I'm not sure what they're actually doing though.

What's the tank made of?

I have recently come across in my book about how people are able to hold plasma in a magnetic field, in which the north and south pole reach and equilibrium. Anyway, I was wondering, would the same be true for anti-matter within a vacuum?

I now realize I totally made the wrong vote ( I voted false) Because, Einstein stated that you cannot reach the speed of light because you would instantly reach your destination. That would not be true though when space is expanding, because it's expanding into nothing.

I'm not totally sure, so don't hurt me if I'm wrong but the particles inside the center of a black hole are converted into height the size of an atom, infinite volume, and as you said, infinite curvature. However particles at the center of a black hole are under such tremendous force at such a small area (Hence P=F/A), they only stay in that infinite stage for fractions of a millisecond, and are converted into energy.

Basically what it is, is clouds of gas being pulled into by earth's gravitational pull. But these gasses eventaully fade away as you get farther and farther away from earth. So instead of it being like an egg, there is no real definite line between the earth's atmosphere and space. Also, the reason why the sky is blue is because the sun's rays are reflecting off the particles in our atmosphere. Notice this, because at night it is black because there is no sun light, not because we have no atmosphere. Please feel free to ask any questions.

When you look up at the sky, you are not seeing directly into space. The atmosphere's particles reflects and refracts much of the light coming and going into space. For a so-so metaphor, look at a hard boiled egg except the white doesn't have a definate stopping point. it continues for a while longer. In order to get out of the white part from the yellow you would have to be going at escape velocity, or 25,000 km/hour. If this dosen't make any sense (as is probably will) just reply and ill be sure to get back to you.

because the particle accelerators you need to make it are extremely costly. For a brief understanding on how expensive these kinds of things can be, you might want to look up Fermilab. , or atom smasher.

Maybe because astronomers like to discriminate against purple. Or maybe, they don't think violet looks good on them.

yes, antimatter does exist. However, since when antimatter comes into contact with most matter it annihilates, it only lasts for a very brief amount of time. We are able to make antimatter on Earth but because it's so costly we cannot make very much of it.

Isn't there 2d, 3d, and time? without either one of those the universe would not make any sense, and all if our physics would change.

Within our head, our brain makes connections between one thought and another. This is how we remember our "data", by using and comparing things to past to things in the present.

the temperature is only a little bit above absolute zero, because it is impossible to reach absolute zero. Also, it can heat up to almost 75 degrees C when facing the sun, because there is not atmosphere blocking you from the sun, yet it can become almost 273 degreed when away from the sun because there are virtually no photons or particles in the vacuum of space.

There is gravity, and friction, but very little friction. Basically, the laws of physics still apply. Space just tends to show us things in its most or near somethings most absolute forms, which causes confusion and frustration to a lot of people.

By my opinion, it would not be very large at all, and in fact it may only a few thousand kilometers across. That would be (in my opinion) because the gravity would act as a paradox upon itself and crush the material, making in denser, and giving it yet more gravity, much like a black hole. That would continue until there is an equilibrium between all of the matter and finally the atoms are crushed to infinite volume and infinite length, infinite height, and infinite time.

Doesn't it also have to do with the rings being in motion around Saturn?

It comes from Earth's atmosphere. Particles are refracted and reflected from the sun into the atmosphere.
