I must have been out of the loop for a while, but I heard that they are producing antimatter (like antihydrogen) on a very small scale.

This is huge. I'm going to try and collect a few links and post them here......

When Sci-Fi becomes Sci-Fact... Welcome to the future...

I only have limited knowledge on the subject, but would this help the energy crisis any, what with all the energy produced when matter combines with anti-matter (or something along those lines)?order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

small amount of anti-matter + equal portion of matter = anniliation of both substances and relase of Huge amouts of energy

I think when it's done it will be more like:

small amount of anti-matter + equal portion of matter = null value. The substances attain a chemical state of equilibrium and no energy is emitted. I'm kidding, of course. I know nothing about this topic.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

The Cap'n is right... I've been reading Stephen Hawking's "A brief History of Time" ( 1988 ) and been checking stuff out on the net for updated information.

Antimatter can be used as a great fule source, but I can only see it being used as a replacement of Nuclear Power plants and space shuttles/stations/and other NASA stuff. But I would so be scared living in the same country were someone is driving a car that runs of antimatter.

Using antimatter for WMDs would be over kill (which is what WMDs are made for). However, I think it would be way tooooooooooo dangerous to experiment with so I hope no goverment on earth trys it.

I am interested in antigravatons, but since we know very very very little about gravity I don't think we will hear much of anything about it in a very long time.... but I could be wrong.

On a stupid note: I thought I found a wormhole in my back yard, but instead it was a hole my dog dug out.

woah, Anti-Matter? well, beam me up scotty!

Its all depends on how much matter and anti-matter you have. One proton and one anti-proton coming into contact I don't think really do all that much. You can use E=mc2 to get the exact number if you'd like. And granted its been a while since I've looked into this topic in detail but I don't think anyone's ever made more then a few anti-protons of anti-matter.

That I'm not sure about unless you consider an anti-proton to be an ionized atom of anti-hydrogen. I believe most, if not all, anti-protons have been produced in colliders. In which case I think they'd be too hot and not survive long enough to capture a positron. I don't remember ever reading about anti-neutrons and I'm not even sure they'd be stable.

Positrons are actually rather common in conparision to anti-protons. I always found it interesting that from a fermi diagram perspective that a positron could be considered to be an electron that was traveling backwards in time. Check out the left most diagram here:


In these diagrams the vertical axis is time. The horizontal axis is space. Note the electron goes up and is labeled with e and the positron goes down and is also labeled with e. For more on this topic you can take a peek here:

That's where I grabbed the above image.

Me too, buddy... I'm really nothing more than a hillbillie (lol) but I love learning about stuff like this. I think it's because we can understand some of it and how it's important to the interconnection of all things.... that, and it's really cool crap.. lol..

Geeks are cool.... and geeks that know how to explain things in ways we can understand are like 'rock-stars' in their field of science.

So yeah... we be cool geeks... We can start our own street gang... but instead of doing drive-bys, we could anniliate a person's body matter with our super cool antimatter phaser guns... lol....

But what really makes us cool is that we are willing to learn about crazy stuff like this, and admire it. I'm rather excited to see what they discover 10 years from now....

Yeah... I read about that. They are using positrons (antielectrons) as a treatment for cancer I think. Pretty cool stuff..
