  • Attaching a giant magnet to the International Space Station is no mean feat, but the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer has yielded fascinating results on its quest to detect traces of antimatter in the cosmos.

    The principal scientist and Nobel Laureate physicist Samuel Chao Chung Ting should have been identified in this video.

    Antimatter in moments of self doubt: Do I even matter?

    According to the scientists at Cern, gravity pulls antihydrogen downwards and that, at least for antimatter, antigravity does not exist

    If you inhale antihelium does it make your voice go really low?

    I believe that maybe the half of the universe is antimatter, and we don’t know it because we can’t touch 😄

    Amazing. And what nice guy, the Japanese physicist! They lifted a huge detector from Earth to the sky.

    That is actually a brilliant idea.Although supposedly anti electrons are created in lightening strikes right here which is why they are so violent.

    How do they detect antihelium atom ? Isn’t an atom perfectly neutral ?

      I don’t know if you are joking, but there is. Maybe you are confusing it with dark matter. Because we can produce and use antimatter.

      No. You just explode and are vaporized. One breath of antimatter would be millions of joules worth of mass energy release upon annihilating with the lining of your respiratory tract. I suppose the sound it makes when you’re converted into a gas would create a sonic boom.

    Is Halloween a stat holiday in Japan? Everyone gets a day off, with pay to dress up like little girls and collect squid candy.
