anti-matter universe?

  1. i was wondering rigth, is anti-matter is the same as matter, and they not TOGTHER to like cancel themselves our does that mean that in the vacume of space u could have a drop of anit-H2O? and if you could could you have a planet that consits of anti-matter? like in a anti-matter system or universe?
     
  2. ok village idiot, thats a whole barage of questions, half questions and propositions...

    and im tired/drunk...


    anti matter... as the name suggests, is th eopposit of matter. the two cannot co exist, and so destroy each other givign of MASSIVE amounts of energy (far safer than all that nuclear power shit which is only used for making "nukes"). anyways i digress... wtf am i talking about? uhh... am i in the ia here? .... oh shit... thats not digit talking anymore... its his sureal twisted alter ego "sleep D"!!! eeeek. sleep d talks about himself in third person... thats funny.. uhh... sleep d isnt as intelectial as Digit... probably because he's sleep deprived.. oh yeah thats where the name came from.. i knew it came from somewhere... wtf? this is nt the Insomniacs anonymuz?

    uhh... time for bed me thinks before my two personality s colide and anhihilate each oter.
     

  3. on this planet we produse 9 grams of anti-matter each year. then can exist together as long as there not say, anti-h20 and h2o in the same palce. so because sapce is a vacume the could float apart from each other rite, like light years aprt therefore never coming into contact (plus im stoned now so excuse me if it makes no sense)
     
  4. but what tests have been done on anti matter? what if matter and anti matter actually just repelled each other rather than 'consume' each other. Perhaps it could be harnessed to create travel at the spead of light because matter and anti matter could repell each other at the fastest possible speed.

    does anyone here know enough about this stuff to really explain it? I'd like to know
     
  5. no they do explode of cantact, but we could produce enough on earth to make an engine it would take tonnes of the stuff
     

  6. i sure dont. and thats when im sane. i certainly dont know when im in a state like i was last time i tried to post here. oh silly silly me.

    like i said elswhere, we need to get a 4th year physics student here @ the city. :D
     
  7. you dont spend 2 years as a anunian without learning a few things bout space travel
     
  8. nor do you spend 2 years as an anunian without learning what an anunian is.

    i havnt spent 2 years as an anunian.

    :D
     
  9. anunian, with the whole we were created by aliens thing
     
  10. Antimatter is basically the opposite of matter. Has matter-like properties but once it comes in contact with matter they react and blow up. Theoretically it is possible to have an antimatter planet as long as it is in an area of space devoid of matter. If you find the faster than light travel thread you can see that my verision of "warp theory" utilizes anti-gravity and possibly anti-matter depending on it's exact properties.
     
  11. think of it this way, all normal matter atoms spins one way, and when two atoms meet, they "lock" into eachothers energy-fields [gravity, electrical charge, magnetic attraction / repulsion etc.] due to having the same properties.

    anti matter spins the other way, and thus have opposite energy-fields. when anti-matter comes into contact with normal matter, they are unable to interact due to their opposite energy-fields, and will essentially slow down their spin to such a degree that the field can no longer be contained, and thus the energy will be released in a bang, talking closeby matter with it.

    i might remember this wrong though. we really do need a physics graduate here :)
     
  12. I thought atoms of normal matter could spin either way. And for some reason there seems to be pairs of atoms that always spin the same. If you make one spin the other way, then no matter how close or far away the other atom is, it changes directions, too. I can't say for sure exactly what antimatter is and what makes it different. We really do need a physics major in here. After my one college physics class, I'm done with that stuff, but I still like to debate theoretical physics.
