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

OP didn't read the article very well, since we've always known anti matter to be located at the center of the galaxy. And he also has no grasp on economics, considering that nobody goes out and [i]buys[/i] antimatter. [editline]06:46PM[/editline] [QUOTE=GaynericMonk;21823705]Fuck that shit, all I need to do is get to this cloud and bring back a handful of this shit and I'm set for life! It's a flawless plan![/QUOTE] Totally, scientists will be lining up to chuck money at you day and night!

[QUOTE=Perfumly;21825443]What are you talking about? I drink a hearty glass of antimatter every day for weightloss.[/QUOTE] It melts the fat straight off the bone! Though it usually takes the neighborhood with it.

Brb I'm going to go get my pickaxe.

Cutting down the internet?!?

Antimatter is intimidating.

[QUOTE=BAZ;21823440]You think paying £1+ for a bottle of water is reasonable?! It costs next to nothing to purify gallons of water, same to make a bottle.[/QUOTE] Out of all the water on earth, only a small fraction of it is drinkable.

[QUOTE=Quo Vadi;21820093]Actually, it wouldn't be all that big. People overrate antimatter's yield.[/QUOTE] Yeah, you're right, would be two or three teratons [I]tops[/I].

[QUOTE=playelite;21819924]If the US got that we could instantly pay off our debt. The fuck? STOP RATING ME FUNNY I WAS SERIOUS.[/QUOTE] and Zimbabwe could almost pay off theirs. Almost.

We just found the power source to invent a real life Pylons. I wouldn't mind lighting that gas, and watching the fireworks. :D [QUOTE=BAZ;21819915]It's possible there's a whole universe made from anti-matter. There's also theories that the universe started as anti-matter and matter, but for some reason still unknown, matter came out ontop.[/QUOTE] Does it really [i]matter[/i]? [QUOTE=Herr Sven;21820673]Even at the speed of light, that would take 25 000 years, therefore making the mining impractical.[/QUOTE] Move gear up.

[QUOTE=Razor sharp;21820777]Strangely enough, it should have exploded from the sunlight that reached it. Since sunlight is also considered matter (albeit naked to the human eye) As for transporting matter, that would cost more than actually MINNING it. I mean, even if we get that magnetic field/gravitation theory, we would still need to make it so not even the smallest particle would be able to touch it (AKA neutrins, or whatever you english people call them (no not neutrons)) that can go 14 kilometers deep in to the earths crust. Why am i talking about this, what about actaully GETTING to that cloud?[/QUOTE]It has to be the right type of anti-particle, the article says the particles are positrons, which annihilate when coming into contact with electrons, so no problem with neutrinos there.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;21827778]Out of all the water on earth, only a small fraction of it is drinkable.[/QUOTE] So, you think paying £1 for a handful of water is reasonable? Tap water is £0.0022 a litre, is 100% clean, healthy and full of minerals. It just shows how much it actually costs to make drinking water (almost nothing)

The reapahs are in there.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;21827778]Out of all the water on earth, only a small fraction of it is drinkable.[/QUOTE] Almost all the water on earth is drinkable when it has been desalinated and purified. It costs about $.50 to desalinate 250 gallons of water. I'm not sure how much it costs to remove further contaminants, but I'm sure it comes nowhere near the cost of a bottle of water.

Hyper-inflation ahoy!

The first thing we need to try to do is smoke it.

[QUOTE=Themage;21842438]But, Sunlight is pure energy not matter.[/QUOTE] He might be referring to the particles that get thrown off.

[QUOTE=Themage;21842438]But, Sunlight is pure energy not matter.[/QUOTE] What is pure energy and how does it differ from impure energy [QUOTE=Raxas;21846002]He might be referring to the particles that get thrown off.[/QUOTE] Oh you mean like photons?

Doesn't this mean anti-matter becomes worthless? It's like finding trillions of money in space and we collect it, it's as good as just making that money which then becomes worthless the more of it there is.

I want to try some antimatter ice cream.

Why isn't it worthless?

Abundancy doesn't subtract from its usefulness and consequently value anyway.

cool I guess...

This is great! And it's only several light-years away! :downs:

But we won't be able to get to it and retrieve it. :smithicide:

Infinity should have mineable antimatter clouds. Of course it would be risky.

Infinity? :what:
