A community portal about Antimatter with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: In particle physics, antimatter extends the concept of the antiparticle to matter, wherein if a particle and its antiparticle come into contact with each other, the two annihilate —that is, they may both be converted into other particles with equal energy in accordance with Einstein's equation E = mc 2. This gives rise to high-energy photons or other particle–antiparticle pairs. The resulting particles are endowed with an amount of kinetic energy equal to the difference between the rest mass of the products of the annihilation and the rest mass of the original particle-antiparticle pair, which is often quite large.
XIII Death – Matter and Antimatter Every particle has a corresponding antimatter particle. Antimatter has an opposite charge to ordinary matter, like the negatively-charged electron which has a positive antiparticle known as a positron (familiar to all viewers of Star Trek!). When a particle meets its antiparticle partner they annihilate each other in pure energy, which then goes on to form other particles. But here’s the weird thing; although we know that antimatter exists, the universe is... Read Full Story
In the Imagineer’s article Why is mass quantized? Oct. 4, 2007 it was shown that the observed properties of all particles could be explained and predicted in terms resonant system in continuous non-quantized form of mass.
However, it is also possible to determine the outcome of particle interactions based on the existence of this resonant system.
On pages 59 and 60 of Brian Cregg book “The God Effect” he describes experiments that show how photons interact with different polarizing filters... Read Full Story
The positron is the antiparticle or the antimatter counterpart of the electron. The positron has an electric charge of +1 and the same mass as an electron. The symbol for the positron is e+ or β+. The existence of positrons were first were first considered by Paul Dirac. However, the positron was discovered by Carl.D.Anderson in 1932, an American Physicist that studied at Caltech University and because of his discovery of the Positron, he won the Nobel Prize in 1936.
In the process of pair... Read Full Story
Modern Quantum theory assumes that it is only possible to define the probability of a particles state when it is measured but not the state the particle was in before a measurement is made. Therefore, according to quantum mechanics all possible states of a particle must be superposed over each other.
However, the conclusion of quantum mechanics that particles exist in all possible states before a measurement is made in not supported by experimentation.
This can be shown by integrating the... Read Full Story
