[QUOTE=Turnips5;26123546]No it's not you silly billy go and relearn your physics[/QUOTE] I suck at math. But I know my quantum physics. Just estimating.
[QUOTE=darkrei9n;26121532]I just want to point this out. If anti matter and matter were to touch and explode wouldn't it just be the atoms that touched? Not the entire thing? And the force of explosion by those touching, wouldn't they push the atoms away from each other?[/QUOTE] What do you mean by "entire thing"? The matter-antimatter annihilation will cause the creating of "pure energy" (how some people like to refer to it) - basically light (and neutrinos). And yes, the explosion will cause the atoms and anti-atoms to move away. But since the anti-matter will just touch other matter somwhere, the annihilation will work by 100%. A nuke for example is different: The explosion moves the fissionable material away (= sub-critical) so that the process there is not working at an efficiency of 100%.
[QUOTE=acds;26123576]No. 1kg of antimatter is 21 megatons, which is a medium-sized hydrogen bomb.[/QUOTE] Fucking "the universe" tricked me.
[QUOTE=mr.killa;26123486]Just so you know one particle of antimatter is about 10,000,000,000 tons of rocket fuel. [editline]17th November 2010[/editline] Thats enough to destroy the planet. [editline]17th November 2010[/editline] 100 times over.[/QUOTE] Read what I posted a few minutes ago. Based on the size of explosion mentioned by aVon, I calculated the size of explosion produced by the number of particles they created (A couple of thousand) It's tiny.

Anyway. Causing singularity's make a better weapon.
[QUOTE=XxXKillErXxxX^2;26123632]Yeah you know your quantum physics like you know a womans vagina.[/QUOTE] Shame you could only find the position and not find the velocity, or find the velocity and not the position.

[QUOTE=XxXKillErXxxX^2;26123700]it's gonna get you far in life, kid.[/QUOTE] Well to be honest it'll get him further than most things kids these days are interested in (like some random e-whores blog posts).
i know i was being serious

[editline]17th November 2010[/editline] 100 times over.[/QUOTE] All you posted is wrong. It first depends on the type of anti-matter you are using. Considering it to be anti-hydrogen, then 1g of it will annihilate with 1g of matter releasing the energy of 42 kT = 42 000 T TNT. (For anti-helium, the released energy is higher since there are more anti-protons involved). 1g of (anti-)hydrogen consists of [img]http://math.daggeringcats.com/?6.02214179 \cdot 10^{23}[/img] particles. So one anti-hydrogen particle annihilating with one hydrogen particle releases the energy of [img]http://math.daggeringcats.com/?\frac{42000}{6.02214179 \cdot 10^{23}} T = 6.97426 \cdot 10^{-20} T = 0.0000000000000000000697426 T = 697[/img] atto grams of TNT. This is nearly nothing. [editline]17th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=mr.killa;26123585]I suck at math. But I know my quantum physics. Just estimating.[/QUOTE] If you suck at math, then Quantum Physics is a field you are unable to understand or work with.
Also, when you have an explosion like a nuke, it creates a vacuum in which air *And anything sitting in that air* is sucked into the explosion and burned, once the air is burned off then the energy is released back out. This explains the mushroom cloud. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40E1HH3JYz0[/media] Make the explosion a few hundred times larger and you could implode a planet, like a black hole.
[QUOTE=acds;26123576]No. 1kg of antimatter is 21 megatons, which is a medium-sized hydrogen bomb.[/QUOTE] Yes, but don't forget that you still need matter for the annihilation, so 1 kg anit- plus 1 kg matter = 42 mT. I just needed to make my point clear, that 42 is the ultimate answer!
[QUOTE=XxXKillErXxxX^2;26123700] wat[/QUOTE] Just a little quantum mechanics joke. You can find the position of an electron in an orbital, or the velocity of an electron. You can't find both at the same instance in time. From what I remember, anyway.

I guess I assumed that because I never could really do *advanced* math before the 5th grade. [editline]17th November 2010[/editline] Also, I want to harvest black holes for a method of power. Am I insane?

Can't tell if that is a sex joke or a pregnancy joke.

Not much of a surprise, we've been able to make anti matter for years now.

[QUOTE=aVoN;26123468]It's a big release of energy like with a nuke. Depending on the heat, it will have a different color, e.g. bluish/white. The heat will cause the air around it moving up, creating the known "nuke-mushroom"-effect.[/QUOTE] Wait a sec, wouldn't it be a little more complex than that? We are talking about a matter-antimatter reaction here, that much energy being released tends to do a lot more than just a big explosion. The radiation alone...
I hope the government and this country ends up being just like "the golden age of India" i hear about so we an be at peace and make a lot more scientific discoveries.

mr.killa is really young
Let's get to work on some anti-ununpentium!
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;26128084]mr.killa is really young[/QUOTE] Every time I see someone quote mr killa, whatever is in the quote only makes me feel justified about my decision to put him on my ignore list. But someone inevitably quotes him, so there goes that.
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;26128084]mr.killa is really young[/QUOTE] Back into the bowels of GGD, you dirt digger.
