conCERNing Anti-matters

[Unforgiven]

A big deal indeed!

Scientists have captured antimatter atoms for the first time, a breakthrough that could eventually help us to understand the nature and origins of the universe.

Researchers at CERN, the Geneva-based particle physics laboratory, have managed to confine single antihydrogen atoms in a magnetic trap.

This will allow them to conduct a more detailed study of antihydrogen, which will in turn allow scientists to compare matter and antimatter.

The next step is making an antimatter starship drive???

 

[Unforgiven]

Well... perhaps a step or two between. :lol:
They say they can hold on to it longer in a magnetic field and study it.
It's powerful though. I understand a gram of matter and antimatter results in the energy of 43 kilo tons of energy.

No they haven't captured antimatter. See the big bang, the mythical origin of antimatter itself never happened and never will or could. Main stream science today is just an extension of the organized crime sindicate that runs the capitalist pig world. See if they don't discover the gravitron in a few weeks and after that proof of darkmatter and then god herself.

Practical Applications of Antimatter

That's a fantastic bit of news!

The future of the human species depends largely on driven and passionate development of science and technology. The discovery of antimatter could have broad implications for the future of medical imaging, and fuel purposes for the exploration of our solar system; there could one day even be applications for interstellar travel. It's a shame that only private organisations seem to be interested in exploring these fantastic possibilities; Her Majesty's Government for Canada, and other governments throughout the world, should be contributing to this exciting sphere of science in the global interest.

Sure they have. They have the proof to back up their statement. AND you spelt syndicate wrong.

All that plus they can really blow some serious **** up!

Very cool! I imagine they should be able to perform some intersting experiments.

I wonder how stable anti-hydrogen is? If it is far less stable than matter, that might explain why the universe appears to consist of only matter.

What affect does gravity, magnetism and other forces have on anti-hydrogen?

 

[darkbeaver]

Until I can buy a bottle of antihydrogen I will just have to continue to drink magnetized plasma derived gamma and x rays.

Some people have this bizarre belief that EMF is extremely weak and can't manipulate paritcles.

 

[darkbeaver]

It is there poor education frum the telly.

Stuff like Beakman's World?

 

[darkbeaver]

I can't comment on Beakman's World, never having seen it. Nice to see you agin petros. No doubt you've had fun while I've been away saving the world.

 

[Trotz]

Too bad I was looking forward to an anti-matter drive,

I was going to recommend we leave this planet behind once we find a new world. Leave the "Earth", to the religious savages like Qaddafi and Ahmadinejad. I give them 20 years at most, without Europe, America or Canada, until they return to the stone age. At best, their descendents a hundred years from now, would regard scraps of aircraft as religious artifacts...

Of course.
