At what temperature does antimatter form?
It isn't a matter of temperature. It is created in high-speed collisions like those observed in the hadron particle collider. Antimatter is naturally occurring. It has only been created in minute amounts and costs a fortune. One kilogram of antimatter would create an explosion with the power of a 20 megaton nuclear bomb.
Who stated the atom was a single small particle that was indivisible?
A Greek philosopher by the name of Democritus came up with the general idea and the name of atoms (atomos literally means "no cut" -- in other words, indivisible -- in Greek). However, he didn't really have any experimental evidence for this, he just thought it was the way things should work. It took almost 2000 years before scientists demonstrated that this concept was actually pretty accurate. Actually, this concept goes back to the Greeks. Dalton also believed it, but was wasn't the first:From ChemTeam: Atomic Structure by John Dalton (see link to the left):"Elements are made up of minute, discrete, indivisible, and indestructible particles called atoms. These atoms maintain their identity through all physical and chemical changes. This, of course, is not a new idea to Dalton. This basic idea goes back to the Greeks. However, please keep in mind that atoms, as such, were not part of the chemical mainstream in the early 1800's. Dalton's idea of an element is what we believe today - an element is a chemical substance that cannot be decomposed further by chemical means (i.e. heat, electricity, reacting with another chemical). This definition traces to Lavoisier. Daltonian atoms are usually taught as being similar to featureless billiard balls. In truth, Dalton never ruled out the possibility of subatomic structure. He just knew that the state of the art in the early 1800's did not allow the physical structure of an atom to be probed."
What are the subatomic particals?
Subatomic particles are parts of the building blocks of our world. Atoms house protons, neutrons and electrons which are key examples of subatomic particles. Protons, neutrons and electrons themselves are made of even smaller blips called quarks. These minute objects build up the world and control various things like the states of an object, whether it is hot or cold and other key natural events.
1 minute is how much milisecond?
One minute is 60,000 milliseconds.
How is string theory relevant to your lives?
It is postulated that the quanta involved in string theory are so small, so minute, and that they move at incredibly high speeds, so as to be everywhere they "need" to be, in order to account for all matter and energy of the universe.
What is Another word for a minute piece of matter?
particle
What is another name for a minute piece of matter?
the answer is particle - it was a crossword clue & I thought there might have been a scientific answer!
What is the difference of particles and molecules?
A molecule is just one type of particle. A particle is any minute bit of matter or, in some cases, energy. Particle may include things such as atoms, molecules, ions, grains of sand or dust, and subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, neutrons, and neutrinos.
Are particles big?
This completely depends on the matter you are referring to. If you are talking about sub atomic particles that no, they are minute. But you can also have a particle of dust which, yes, is big compared to some other particles.
Another word for minute portion starting with p?
Particle
Which two scientist first believed that all matter was made up of different indivisible elements called atoms?
Democritus and Dalton were the first to believe that all matter was made up of different indivisible elements called atoms. A lot of Dalton's atomic theory from the 1700s is still accepted in modern times.
What is the minute fundamental unit of matter?
atom
What is the distance traversed by the particle between 0 seconds and 6 seconds?
The distance, expressed in inches, is(1.2) x (the particle's average speed, in feet per minute) .
Is there is movie for baki the grappler?
There's a 45 minute "Grappler Baki: The Ultimate Fighter " OVA .
First four letters of a word meaning any minute particle?
M-O-L-E from "molecule"
How can finding involving such minute particles of matter reveal anything about the universe as a whole?
In a very simple sense, scientists like to believe that the universe if "symmetrical". That is, there should be equal amounts of matter and anti-matter. However, there is obviously more matter than anti-matter in the universe, and Scientists believe that the answer to why this apparent "asymmetry" exists lies in particle physics. I would recommend reading the book "Supersymmetry : Unveiling the Ultimate Laws of Nature" by Gordon Kane for further explanation. Other reasons why the study of small particles will help us understand the universe is that there are predicted particles, such as the Higg's Boson, which could explain the properties of the Universe itself. In this case, it is believed that the mass of all particles arise from the interaction with the Higg's Boson. All these things are explained in this book.
Is it possible that when a black hole dies that it creates dark energy or dark matter?
No, since the only theory that has been created to solve the "black holes must have entropy" problem is Hawking Radiation, which was thought up by Stephen Hawking himself. It states that before any particle hits the event horizon of a black hole, it splits up into a particle-antiparticle pair. Whichever particle contains negative energy is sucked into the singularity, while the particle with positive energy escapes. Thus to an observer it would appear as if the black hole was emitting minute amounts of mass and energy.
