I'm trying to find out more about this. I know that when antimatter comes in contact with regular matter, the particles annihilate each other; and, there must be a huge expenditure of energy. I know that one gram of antimatter dropped in a ton of water can propel a spaceship to Pluto in one week (3.7 billion miles).
According to Einstein's work, three grams (about a "penny") when converted to energy (E=Mc2 means matter is stored energy and vice versa) can bring to boil, 320 Olympic size Swimming Pools.
Based on my reading of physics books as a fledgling science fiction writer, I say antimatter is stored in magnetic bottles, sort of like a thermos. The magnetism would keep the particles free from contact and in an orderly spin. The bottle, I imagine, must have a perfect vacuum.
What else can I help you with?
What is an antihydrogen?
An antihydrogen is an atom of the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen, or the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen as a collective.
Who is the founder of Antimatter?
The founder of antimatter is considered to be the physicist called Paul Dirac in 1928-1930. He created a mathematical equation which predicted the existence of antiworld made out of antimatter.
If 1gram body of antimatter meets a 10gram body of matter which survives?
Initially the 9g of remaining matter would survive. Each particle of antimatter can only annihilate with one other particle of antimatter. At this point the 1g of antimatter would cause an explosion equivalent to that of 200000 pounds of TNT. Causing both groups of matter and antimatter to be obliterated.
Why does CERN study the antimatter?
CERN studies antimatter to deepen our understanding of the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe. By investigating antimatter, scientists aim to explore why there is an apparent imbalance between matter and antimatter, a mystery that could shed light on the origins of the universe. Additionally, experiments with antimatter could have practical applications, such as advancements in medical imaging and potential energy sources. Understanding antimatter also tests the predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics and may reveal new physics beyond it.
What is the yield in kilotons of two grams of antimatter?
Using E=mc2 2g of antimatter will yield the equivelent of 42.962 kilotons of TNT.
How can one safely store antimatter?
Antimatter can be safely stored using magnetic fields to contain it and prevent contact with normal matter, which would cause annihilation. Specialized equipment and facilities are required to handle and store antimatter safely.
How is antimatter stored and maintained to prevent annihilation upon contact with matter?
Antimatter is stored in specialized containers that use magnetic fields to keep it away from regular matter. This prevents annihilation, which occurs when antimatter comes into contact with matter, releasing a large amount of energy. The containers are kept in a vacuum to minimize the chance of contact with any particles. Additionally, the containers are cooled to very low temperatures to slow down the movement of the antimatter particles, reducing the likelihood of annihilation.
Can a dragon breathe antimatter?
They can DEFINITELY breathe antimatter
When was Antimatter - band - created?
Antimatter - band - was created in 1998.
When was Antimatter - album - created?
Antimatter - album - was created in 1993.
Does antimatter possess negative mass?
No, antimatter does not possess negative mass. Antimatter has the same mass as regular matter, but opposite charge.
What date was antimatter discovered?
Antimatter was discovered in 1928 by Paul Dirac.
What year was antimatter discover?
Antimatter was discovered in 1928 by Paul Dirac.
When was Lights Out - Antimatter album - created?
Lights Out - Antimatter album - was created in 2003.
Is it theoretically possible for there to be sentient beings composed of antimatter?
Absolutely not - Antimatter is a hypothetical form of matter that is as yet unsubstantiated. Answer It's possible but not probable. And antimatter is not hypothetical
How come the universe is made of matter and not antimatter?
That is not currently known. There is a slight assymetry between matter and antimatter, but so far, it seems that this assymetry is not enough to explain why there is only matter, and hardly any antimatter, in the Universe. Without such an assymetry, there wouldn't be either matter or antimatter in the Universe - just radiation. For more information about what is known, and what isn't, check the Wikipedia article on "Baryon asymmetry".
How many people like the idea of antimatter?
Antimatter is real. Liking or disliking it is irrelevant.
