Tara Shears – Antimatter: Why the anti-world matters

Artis Modus



The Royal Institution

Antimatter, an identical, oppositely charged version of normal matter, is one of the most mysterious substances in the Universe and very little of it survives today. Tara Shears examines the progress being made towards understanding this elusive version of matter, and explains the latest results from LHCb and elsewhere.

  5. I imagine that the ~North end of an anti-matter permanent magnet will attract the North end of a normal permanent magnet. And, produce opposite direction electric current flow in normal matter copper wire.
    If anti-matter exhibits a gravitational repulsion from matter then the accelerated expansion of the universe is easily explainable. Large ant-masses such as an anti-matter star would never be able to enter a gravitational orbit with a normal matter star. All those far away galaxies out their racing away from us may just be due to anti-matter's anti-gravity forces.

  8. Physics is the Science and Technology of Measurement, so it's restricted to whatever is measurable and Mathematically quantifiable, and that is essentially time duration timing.
    A device of and for Physicists and physics, the Atomic/quantization Clock.

    Conversely, Mathematics is restricted to whatever it is conceivable in superimposed analog/analogy, abstract probabilities in potential possibilities, so it's restricted to the topological manifestations of What You See Is What You Get, condensed by the naturally occurring conception of Calculus, or sum-of-all-histories in this instant here-now-forever, continuous creation connection in this naturally occurring formulaic Principle of Temporal Superposition-point Singularity positioning, symmetrical in the omnidirectional-dimensional Origin of Superspin. It's a probability-wave-package concept observed and navigated by math-physics, cause-effect.

    "What the Eye does not see, the Heart never grieves for", which is why we need Math-Phys-Chem and Geometry in Spacetime, Mathematical Abstractions in Perspective sequences of e-Pi-i resonance imaging to visualize Actuality.

    Applied to the physical concept of antimatter, the mathematical resolution of the naturally balanced constants in one cause-effect mechanism of time duration timing, => QM-TIMESPACE, suggests that the property of antimatter is a fleeting imbalance (as is everything formed by temporal functions) in the QM cause-effect modulation of Time Timing Infinite interval Eternity-now.., a "navigational mapping probability", like the rest of the actual observable Holographic Universe.

    I'm niether a Physicist nor Mathematician, only someone who suggests there is no actual Artificial Intelligence demarcation boundary in the emulation of Actuality by talk, techniques and technology called Science.
    Under-standing the Universe is a total observation-immersion in the Quantum Operator Fields Modulation Mechanism Mathematics here-now-forever in Eternity-now. (And some revision of the discovery of antimatter by Dirac's Mathematical analysis?)

  11. Science has never been so beautiful, what a sweet lovely lady, I want to marry her lol. I think the key to instantaneous space travel lies in anti-matter. If we had a machine making anti-matter, we could then use this anti-matter to generate anti-gravity and manipulate gravity's force. Imagine a space ship with such a reactor, it would generate an anti-gravity force field around it and expand space behind it while contracting it in front of it. This would allow for almost instantaneous travel. It's basically an Alcubierre drive, a Warp drive, a skip drive, a frame shift drive. This would literally change everything. Plus it would be self sufficient, it would be equipped with the ability of soaking up energy from stars, this energy would be used to power its systems. It would have a forge to manufacture matter itself including anti-matter and literally power itself. It would still need thrusters to fly at low speeds though. This is how we would conquer the stars. I think Aliens have discovered this. Invest in a machine that can create and maintain anti-matter stable, a machine that can create all elements by electro-magnetic interaction and you will solve all problems with the human race. The Japanese are focusing on robotics and computers, it is up to us westerners to find a way to generate anti-gravity. I want to travel the stars hurry up now lol. I'm not getting any younger. Lol

  13. It’s not yet accepted that there is such a thing as anti-matter. The scientists whose work I follow don’t subscribe to it, preferring instead to postulate a hierarchy of quanta all of which have either positive or negative functions . This seems more logical to me as it makes it easier to understand the unfolding of the universe along planned pathways and for a natural purpose.
    But we should not be complacent as the purpose of creation maybe more likely to be negative than positive.

  21. The USA should have built the Supercollider in Texas back in the 1990's for 8 billion dollars. They already spent 1.5 billion when Congress cancelled it. What a bunch of dummies. It would have had energies of 20-30 GEV!!!!

  30. i want to speak authoritatively for an hour… maybe someday I'll have such authority on some matter someday that people will like to hear about

  31. I can't stand how authoritatively she offers utterly unproven speculations and then says, that's what she thinks happened. Astrophysicists have got to be some of the most grandiose and detestable people.

  32. Well, Dr Tara, that was so fantastic and let me tell you why. I dropped out of secondary school in year 10. My favorite subject was science. It was the only subject that I missed when I left. What you have just done is bridge the gap for me in a very clear and succinct manner. Really, nicely done. Thanks.

  33. It is always a question of "Believe" and its foundation. In my Universe energy is kept apart and organised in potentials
    by a universal cavitation process you call " Higgs Boson" – Non of the mentioned dynamics can happen without
    space! And if its only a Planck Unit. Energy is pitch black and needs to be punctured to make it acknowledeged
    by the Observer – Matter is a double Doughnut with one always on the "opposite" side of the same surface of a Moebius loop driven by a Vibration forming the geometry of an evolving Universe. Energy can become any "particle" ! Add two more
    "particles" a SOUND and all the equations work so smoothly without any "Black Magic" The LHC is the biggest and
    most dangerous experiment . You want to cancel out the cavitation by colliding protoplasma and have already
    achieved a slide change of the Photon/Electron coupling. We are Electro Cymatic and the LHC too loud!
    If Plancks arm (and his findings) were not twisted we would know all about! Sorry, but this Model is so contradicting
    and obviously wrong because there is a dimension completely ignored. OM The answer, Quasi Crystal by vibration!
    Time to wipe the "Black" Board" and stop the LHC! Sorry but the "information" is a Sound.

  34. When the Big Bang occurred, I imagine there were both matter and antimatter produced. What I'm wondering is what happens when matter and antimatter annihilate each other. Could it be possible that Dark Matter is produced? Could that possibly explain why there is so much more mass in the Universe than Matter could possibly explain? Is there a way to use colliders to test such hypotheses?

  36. The physical universe is made of photons and they each move at …c squared indefinitely…relative to each other. Paralax effects relative motion. And no 2 photons can occupy the same place as each other. The equation cannot be satisfied by an exactly repeating pattern…but it does rhyme. If you fail to satisfy the equation…you leave spacetime. Spacetime is defined as a relative vibration of c squared. Outside of that… is the real world (The rest of it). That's the matrix…c squared relative.

  37. I can just hear Tara reading a bedtime story and tucking me in…what a fantastic storytelling voice she has..
    She could make a fortune with just her voice. A sweet delicate accent and clear and we'll defined words…
    And no make up…yeah!!

  39. i know this is a simplistic viewpoint, but wouldnt it make sense that matter and antimatter, would "behave" in opposite directions at the start of the universe? so like, as matter buildes exponentialy, antimatter destructs exponentialy? Matter attracts and congeals through gravitational adaption, antimatter would repel and disperse through antigravitational adaption? Matter evolves into more complex structrues and forms, antimatter would remain unchanged and unevolved through out its exponential dying process?
