how the **** could you even sell antimatter
User avatar #256 to #23 - platinumaltaria (10/11/2015) [-]
If you could have contained antimatter, you would be ******* rich as **** . Literally world governments would want a slice of that anti.
User avatar #282 to #256 - cognosceteipsum ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
That's impossible though, because how would you contain antimatter in matter?
User avatar #283 to #282 - platinumaltaria (10/11/2015) [-]
You could contain it within an electromagnetic field.
User avatar #284 to #283 - cognosceteipsum ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
Electromagnetism is atoms, aka matter.
User avatar #287 to #284 - platinumaltaria (10/11/2015) [-]
Antimatter is, in fact, affected by the fundamental forces, but inversely.
User avatar #291 to #287 - cognosceteipsum ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
Source for that? Sounds like pseudoscience
User avatar #295 to #291 - platinumaltaria (10/11/2015) [-]
Antimatter is merely matter with inverse physical properties, like charge etc. It is composed of anti-particles (antiquarks, positrons etc.) and thusly is affected by the strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravitational forces. However, since charge is inverted you would require an inverse field.
User avatar #288 to #284 - derangedberger (10/11/2015) [-]
No, it's not
User avatar #290 to #288 - cognosceteipsum ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
Electromagnetism is a property of atom. Dark matter for example has no electromagnetic radiation and works in a different way.
User avatar #292 to #290 - derangedberger (10/11/2015) [-]
Electromagnetism is a force carried by photons, photons are not matter/atoms
User avatar #293 to #292 - cognosceteipsum ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
That's what I said. Electromagnetism is a property that atoms have, atoms emit light because of photons but the photons are only emitted by regular matter and atoms I'm pretty sure.

Bluenebula can you help out?
#294 to #286 - bluenebula (10/11/2015) [-]
You can't actually sell anti-matter. It costs that much to make it is what the content is saying. I don't know exactly how accurate that is, but it's pretty ******* expensive.

Antimatter can and does exist naturally in out universe today, we think. The idea is that during the big bang, there were both matter and anti-matter being dished out left and right. They collided, made energy, and eventually one won out. That being the matter we see today. There MAY still be super small pockets of anti-matter out there that still have not collided with our normal matter, but it's hard to prove.

Containing anti-matter? oh ******* boy, there's a Nobel Prize winning question. Anti-Hydrogen moves near the speed of light when it's created, and is super-heated to stupid high levels because of the creation processes. It's not something you can catch with a butterfly net.

I'll try to sum this up simply. Anti-matter was thoguht to be a negative proton and a neutron nucleus, with a positively charged electron. Turns out, it's a negatively charged proton and a neutron nucleus, with a positive proton. So the way we slow these anti-atoms down is by sending them through a bunch of normal negatively charged electrons. The way we trap it is by sending it into a vacuum container full of positrons, where it becomes a low charged anti-atom. Now that it has a charge, large magnets can then be used to keep the anti-hydrogen in place. Simply storing anti-matter costs a lot of money. Even then, I think the longest anti-matter has ever been stored was 15 minutes, back in 2011. So if you want your very own tube of anti-matter, use express shipping.
User avatar #307 to #294 - SaintSlayer (10/16/2015) [-]
That was beautifully written
User avatar #296 to #294 - cognosceteipsum ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
Well then... My understanding of antimatter was that it would be impossible to store considering it should release huge amounts of energy within contact of matter. So naturally, I thought storing antimatter within anything else than antimatter would be impossible, know what I'm saying?
Platinumaltaria I guess you're right in this.
User avatar #297 to #296 - bluenebula (10/11/2015) [-]
It is stored in regular matter. The tube is a vacuum filled with positrons that give the anti-hydrogen a charge. There are massive magnets set in place to detract the anti-hydrogen. So imagine a steel ball levitating due to the forces of the magnets pushing it away. Same idea.

Eh, it's not for nothing that I go to social science classes instead of ******* .. Real science. Closest I get to hard sciences is geography and math. Which is funny, because my dad has a PhD in physics. Thanks for the explanation though

A bank does this where i live. They send these letters monthly, in English, and they basically say "you owe x amount of money" (English is not the language in my country). They did this to a friend's grandmoher, she didn't know what the letters were about, and by the time she showed them to someone and asked what the letter was about, the 2.5 euros p/m had piled up and now she owes the bank 60 euros, out of nowhere.

The ********* thing is that they started this "service" without letting people know there is a charge for it, without their permission or consent, and they made lots of money from this. I imagine especially from old people.

**** bankers.

195 8 minutes ago
207 now. That's 12 thumbs in 8 minutes.
The content will still be up for about 14 hours
12 thumbs in 8 minutes is 1.5 thumbs a minute.
1.5 x 60 is 96
96 thumbs an hour, means that in a perfect world, this comment is going to end up with about 1500 thumbs.
Realistically though, it'll probably be more around a 1000, but that's still damn good
User avatar #65 to #64 - maxismahname (10/11/2015) [-]
Actually it rose by 13 in the 5 minutes it took me to write that, so I'm starting to believe it might actually reach 1500+
User avatar #88 to #65 - ohemgeezus (10/11/2015) [-]
no it wont
User avatar #90 to #88 - maxismahname (10/11/2015) [-]
100 thumbs in an hour, it's definitely possible
User avatar #94 to #90 - ilovehitler (10/11/2015) [-]
It'll probably reach, at max, like 400-500.
User avatar #92 to #90 - ohemgeezus (10/11/2015) [-]
it's 4 hrs old and not even 300 thumbs yet, that's not 100 per hr. The top comment right now is has 500+ and is only halfway dead. comments rarely get 1k thumbs, lets alone 1500
User avatar #95 to #92 - maxismahname (10/11/2015) [-]
I got the 100/hr figure from the past hour. When I made my original comment, it was at 208, now it's at 297. That's pretty darn close to 100. This debate will be solved when the content ends. I predict it will be between 1000-1500 thumbs
User avatar #99 to #95 - ohemgeezus (10/11/2015) [-]
your prediction is as wrong as your math seeing how, if you look at this comment you'll see for yourself. 4/300 isn't 100. thumbs usually top off at 600-800. notice how the top content is at 1500, that's standard for top content, comments rarely ever get anywhere near that, and those that do are actually hilarious.
User avatar #299 to #99 - maxismahname (10/11/2015) [-]

You can create tiny tiny amounts of anti-matter with a special laser and equipment. Then you can store charged anti-matter in a specialized device with an electric or magnetic field.

Then you put it on Craigslist or something, I dunno.
User avatar #221 to #63 - mrwillje (10/11/2015) [-]
Of course it would be in an electric field, i didnt think of that
#159 to #63 - skebaba ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
How much matter can such an amount of anti-matter annihilate?
User avatar #164 to #159 - goobyman (10/11/2015) [-]
1 gram of antimatter will annihilate 1 gram of matter
duh
User avatar #176 to #164 - siemenz (10/11/2015) [-]
How much energy would be released in annihilation of 1 gram of matter and 1 gram of antimatter?
User avatar #179 to #176 - goobyman (10/11/2015) [-]
the reaction between matter and its corresponding anti-matter particles is 100% efficient, converting all of the mass into energy.
just multiply the total mass (particles plus their anti-particles) in kilograms by the speed of light squared (9 x 10^16) and you will get the result in joules.
90,000,000,000,000,000
90 Quadrillion Joules of energy.
#188 to #179 - bmnhu ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
Thats for 1kg (so 0.5kg matter + 0.5kg anti-matter). (9x10^16)


For 1gram matter + 1gram antimatter, the energy = 1.8x10^14 J
Thats equal to 0.042Megatons (TNT equivalent), which is approx. 2x Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki.

Although "in the case of proton–antiproton annihilation, approximately 50% of the released energy will escape in the form of neutrinos, which are almost undetectable" so its probably half that.
User avatar #189 to #188 - goobyman (10/11/2015) [-]
>>#181
i specificed it to be 0.002kg (1gram + 1gram duh). you still multiply by 9x10^16
#190 to #189 - bmnhu ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
#194 to #190 - goobyman (10/11/2015) [-]
dunno why the **** my calculator ***** up so badly, but yeah you're right 0.002kg*c^2 = 1.79751036 × 10^14 joules or 180,000,000,000,000 or 180 Trillion Joules... what the **** , calculator? what am i doing wrong?
#197 to #194 - bmnhu ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
I get the same answer as you did on windows calculator.
Also, without brackets I get a different answer, which is also wrong and makes no sense..

I guess... we shouldnt use windows calc for big numbers.
User avatar #184 to #179 - siemenz (10/11/2015) [-]
With the price of 12 USD cents per kWh of electricity that would mean if this energy was somehow harnessed and transformed without loss into electricity, this would make 2 grams of annihilated matter worth 3 000 000 000 dollars.

That leaves us with a huge deficit. That means we won't see annihilation power plants any time soon.
**** .
User avatar #187 to #184 - goobyman (10/11/2015) [-]
mind you, you can't really store it for any reasonable amount of time so it's worthless. However, if you do a slow controlled reaction, possibly.
User avatar #192 to #187 - siemenz (10/11/2015) [-]
However, should it be used as a weapon, 2 grams of annihilated matter would unleash 21,510516252390057361376673040153 Megatons of energy.
For comparison the Tsar Bomba, the most powerful atomic bomb ever detonated had 50 Megatons.

So that's good. Humanity once again has more effective means to kill each other

By the way, yes I read the "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. I was just curious about this exact ammount of antimatter.

clarification: we have 0.002kg of matter converted into energy, *(9x10^16) = 90 quadrillion joules of energy

That's assuming they are the same element.
Could Anti-Iron be annihilated by Nitrogen for example?
User avatar #264 to #213 - Devourer (10/11/2015) [-]
Yes, it can, since antimatter consists of positrons instead of electrons etc, so the exact opposites of regular atoms. The building blocks of these atoms will react with each other, not the atoms themselves. So it doesn't matter what kind of atom it is, whether anti-hydrogen of anti-uranium, both react the same with regular-anything.

Half lives, ***** . Basically, a radioactive material releases "alpha particles", helium that's just been fused together from two protons and two neutrons from the original atom, which is why it's radioactive in the first place. A half life is the amount of time it takes for half of the material to turn into helium, which in Tritium is around 12 years and 4 months.

How the **** does that work?
User avatar #6 to #4 - cupcakescankill (10/10/2015) [-]
Really it's only speculated since now it's only possible to very expensively produce a few atoms of antihydrogen.
#53 to #6 - steezburger (10/11/2015) [-]
I believe that the $62.5 T/g is the cost of making a few atoms scaled up to one gram. Since it is made using a particle accelerator Don't quote me on this its expensive AF. Maybe once they figure out a better method of production economy of scale will decrease the price tremendously, kind of like pharmaceuticals where 'it takes $1 billion to make the first pill and $10 for the second'.
#210 to #53 - myjunk (10/11/2015) [-]
Even if you manage to cut down production prices and amortize the machinery, you might still need some rare and pure resources but more importantly, very elaborate storage and transportation vessels.
Since the antimatter will be annihilated when it gets in contact with any matter it has to be stored in a vacuum and keept away from the walls by a magnetic field.
That would usually prohibit any shipping and you would prodce it right where you need it.
#12 to #4 - kugis (10/10/2015) [-]
It's not that expensive. The problem is that the only way to create antimatter is via pair production which yields equal amounts of matter and antimatter which usually means the products annihilate before you can do anything with them.
#111 to #12 - anon (10/11/2015) [-]

w-we are
User avatar #160 to #135 - soldiertwo (10/11/2015) [-]
but its too expensive on bigger scale, right?
User avatar #227 to #111 - shinycharizard (10/11/2015) [-]
Because charge parity and pair production go hand in hand. It's the reason why blasting antimatter at matter in vast amounts isn't a good idea.
User avatar #89 to #12 - hellbentcrusade (10/11/2015) [-]
Is the positron the antimatter? I just thought it was an oppositely charged particle. I am not science man. I only learned of pair production from learning fission for my job.
User avatar #141 to #89 - reretzu (10/11/2015) [-]
The positron is antimatter, it is an oppositely charged particle as well, but that's pretty much what antimatter is.

From his perspective, since Yugioh only has a limit of 3 cards of the same name, if anything happened (Some spy went in and took one of his blue eyes kind of ordeal), he didn't want anyone else to have it, even if it was a possibility.

if you do a line of uncut cocaine you will feel like the king of this world but there is a very thin line between a great cocaine high and a cocaine overdose

It takes a while to get to the tolerance to be able to do straight uncut coke.

No you idiot. Cutting it maximizes profits. Plain and simple. Drug dealers don't care about ur health they care about $$$. Pure cocaine used to be used by dentists and doctors as an anesthetic until it was banned due to the highly addictive properties. In the 80s average cocaine on the streets used to be up to 80% pure and done in small doses. The dealer with the best coke and least cut coke used to get all the customers. Now with the war on drugs there are less dealers who are trying to maximize profits with the product they have. Average cocaine now on the streets is at best 30% pure.

I find the base rate for it here is 100$ no matter what quality. But if you in Columbia you can buy a Gram uncut for like 5-10$ (usd)

Gonna say right now that diamonds are completely flooded in the market. They're not worth their market price, but still sell at it
#30 to #29 - anon (10/10/2015) [-]
they sparkle nice and people buy into **** about them being rare or some ****

even though there are hundreds of prettier and more appealing gems...Opals, Pearls or Rubies for me being one example

After talking with a jeweler, Moissanite is the best.

Shinier than a diamond, brighter colors than a diamond, and far cheaper than a diamond. Actually all but experts can't tell the difference unless you put it under specific tests.
User avatar #46 to #30 - masterboll (10/11/2015) [-]
not to mention CZ, which looks just like diamond

Somebody is getting ripped the **** off if you're coke is over $200 a gram. Even 100 is considered high unless it's premo **** .
#166 to #82 - anon (10/11/2015) [-]
my coke is only 14 dollars for a 12 pack.
User avatar #169 to #166 - Stamyham ONLINE (10/11/2015) [-]
Jesus Christ! Where the hell do you live?
I consider a 12 pack of soft drinks to be too expensive when it breaks $5.
#162 to #82 - anon (10/11/2015) [-]
The prices are based off of 100% pure material.
If you were to literally buy 1 gram of cocaine without anything cut into it, it'd probably be $200.
User avatar #241 to #162 - trapjesus (10/11/2015) [-]
In my area, 50/50 **** is about 50 a gram. 100-120 (high end for yet unfamiliar clients) for the raw sheit.

Who the **** buys a gram of coke for $215?
User avatar #129 to #122 - bodeejus (10/11/2015) [-]
I know that one is way off. I wouldn't spend more than $80, but usually it's around $60 where I'm from.
#154 to #129 - anon (10/11/2015) [-]
These estimates are assuming the purest substance obtainable. What you buy would be considered garbage to the people who pay 215 dollars a gram.

I was thinking the same thing, its been a few years, but Jesus Christ.

Cocaine doesnt ******* cost 215$ for a gram dammit ...
#224 to #177 - anon (10/11/2015) [-]
It probably does if you're talking about 100% pure cocaine.

Even extremely high quality fish scale doesn't go for that much, well when I last bought some it wasn't.

Isn't the price of diamonds artificially inflated though? Like they've found some mines that have a **** ton of diamonds but jewelry companies only allow them to mine so many a year or something I think.
User avatar #153 to #127 - Greevon (10/11/2015) [-]
One company owns almost all the diamonds in the world and the prices are set by them. It's been like this since the late 1800's I think.

But even an artificially raised price is still the price of the item.
User avatar #222 to #153 - thesovereigngrave (10/11/2015) [-]
I don't think it's been an actual monopoly since the 80s. But they are still the largest by far, and the other companies pretty much do the same thing since it helps their prices.
User avatar #42 - godofcorndog (10/11/2015) [-]
Diamonds are pretty much worthless. Their market is controlled by one company who determines their price.

User avatar #198 - englishwitch (10/11/2015) [-]
The market price of diamond is totally artificial. They hold back stocks of diamonds and release them slowly into the market to keep the price high. Russia has huge diamond deposits they won't touch because even a tiny percent of it being released to the market would lower the price far enough to disrupt the world economy. Africa would lose it's huge diamond trade. Several African countries have economies that are totally dependent on their diamond trade.
