Antimatter Cloud Discovered - IT'S MINING TIME BOYS - Polidicks

[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;21820748]anti-matter is highly unstable and can fall apart before it hits matter.[/QUOTE] That's a very general statement, there are some stable anti-elements.

Actually, everything that exists should have mass, but that's just my twisted theory.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;21820251][img]http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/terminology.png[/img] Before anyone says "The Earth".[/QUOTE] That map is wrong, if you stick with the normal GMT based map, it makes sense.

[QUOTE=radioactive;21820830]That map is wrong, if you stick with the normal GMT based map, it makes sense.[/QUOTE] Everyone knows the UK is the middle.

[QUOTE=Razor sharp;21820814]Wait, remind me, do photons have mass?[/QUOTE] Photons do not have mass.

[QUOTE=BAZ;21820581]Which is why you only get 1x E=mc^2 rather than two.[/QUOTE] No. The mass simply isn't increased, as the neutrinos still have mass - so the change in mass (m) is lower than it would be without them.

[QUOTE=Razor sharp;21820823]Actually, everything that exists should have mass, but that's just my twisted theory.[/QUOTE] Photons and mass is a bit weird, with the relativistic mass change equation you would divide by zero giving them an infinite mass.

[QUOTE=Camundongo;21820845]Photons do not have mass.[/QUOTE]oh ye, they have rest energy

in order to get to the antimatter core we need anti matter engines.... its an endless loop

Also, this shit is why i want to be an astrophysicist sorry me bad englich

[QUOTE=Razor sharp;21820936]Also, this shit is why i want to be an astrophysican.[/QUOTE] I don't think those planets need any medical help, doctor. I think you mean astrophysicist!

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;21820930]in order to get to the antimatter core we need anti matter engines.... its an endless loop[/QUOTE] Actually, strong enough magnetism might be able to attract some antimatter particles and then contain them in a vacuum. Though, I'm probably wrong, and the chances (and consequences) of that failing would be massive.

[QUOTE=Razor sharp;21820936]Also, this shit is why i want to be an astrophysic[B]ist[/B]. (:eng101:)[/QUOTE] Agree'd. Also, it's almost impossible.

There are many variations. [editline]09:49PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Herr Sven;21821027]Agree'd. Also, it's almost impossible.[/QUOTE] It's highly possible, but i heard the pay is quite average.

[QUOTE=redonkulous;21819876]If the whole "There is an antimatter thing for every normal matter thing" theory is true [B](it isn't)[/B]. I totally want to go out by giving my counterpart a high five.[/QUOTE] And you base this on what, Mr. Scientist?

Not unless you want to be the best of the best.

[QUOTE=Razor sharp;21820936]Also, this shit is why i want to be an astrophysican.[/QUOTE] you should, i heard that red spot on jupiter is cancer. :(

[QUOTE=Kazumi;21821060]And you base this on what, Mr. Scientist?[/QUOTE] He means the problem of symmetry in physics

[QUOTE=Razor sharp;21821038]It's [B]highly[/B] possible, but i heard the pay is quite average.[/QUOTE] ... Err... No. It would take 25 000 years if traveling at c, and traveling at c is impossible.

[QUOTE=Herr Sven;21821104]... Err... No. It would take 25 000 years if traveling at c, and traveling at c is impossible.[/QUOTE] I mean becoming and astrophysicist [editline]09:55PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Kazumi;21821060]And you base this on what, Mr. Scientist?[/QUOTE]Also, here, i searched for the symmetry problem in physics and found this.

And this cloud is thousands of light years in diameter, containing quadrillions of tons of antimatter.[/QUOTE] The reason it was so expensive is because there was very VERY little of it in the first place NO LONGER

[QUOTE=Razor sharp;21821038]Doesen't magnetism effect only matter? Also, what "magnetism" are you talking about? There are many variations. [/QUOTE] Antimatter is basically matter with reversed charges. So a proton is negative and an electron is positive. So anti-ions will still be attracted (Minutely) to the opposite charge - which is basically magnetism, unless I'm totally underthinking this.

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21821418]The reason it was so expensive is because there was very VERY little of it in the first place NO LONGER[/QUOTE] NO LONGER what? It will still remain pricey untill we find a way to get to those clouds. The economy is not "hey, i see a huge gold mountain, that means the price of gold just dropped!"

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21821418]The reason it was so expensive is because there was very VERY little of it in the first place NO LONGER[/QUOTE] Yeah, it now only becomes as valuable as the energy it creates. (plus a little bit because travelling that far is expensive)

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21821418]The reason it was so expensive is because there was very VERY little of it in the first place NO LONGER[/QUOTE] The problem was the HUGE energy requirements. I mean FUCKING HUGE.

[QUOTE=playelite;21819924]If the US got that we could instantly pay off our debt.[/QUOTE] Just wait, once space travel's possible, the US is going to call dibs on that cloud.

[QUOTE=Eudoxia;21821486]The problem was the HUGE energy requirements. I mean FUCKING HUGE.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but it'll definitely lose value.

[QUOTE=Razor sharp;21821472]NO LONGER what? It will still remain pricey untill we find a way to get to those clouds. The economy is not "hey, i see a huge gold mountain, that means the price of gold just dropped!"[/QUOTE] No, we were talking about the possibility of mining it. [editline]11:10PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Eudoxia;21821486]The problem was the HUGE energy requirements. I mean FUCKING HUGE.[/QUOTE] and because after ALL the energy being put into it. It blips away in an instant.
