antimatter typhoid what's the matter, antipater? closing soon in doubt of spoons, and an over rising_moon not nothing the opposite of something is still something? but made up of the same energy 000724 ... grendel the arrival and the collision the reunion and the explosion alpha omega and all stops in between the express train of oblivion 000724 ... Tank sometimes iwish my past was antimatter... 000725 ... Aquabats Hey you! with the hand me downs, ripped up shoes and the buster browns no tattoos, you don't stand out. it's all about the lincolns in your bank account. what does it matter? what does it matter? what does it matter? what does it matter? high school kids, do you got enough of all the silly monkeys who think they're tough? and teen queen babies who whine and whine about their brand new car that works just fine? what does it matter? it doesn't matter. what does it matter? anti-matter. what does it matter? it doesn't matter. what does it matter? BAM BAM BAM! Hey kid! what do we got? no luck so what look what we do got. hey kid, what do we got? no luck. so what? so what? what ever happened to my radio? it must have happened a long time ago. disc jockey dudes really make the scene. but did you spend a lot of money on those cool white jeans? what does it matter? it doesn't matter. what does this matter, under water? what does it matter? it doesn't matter. what does this matter? BAM BAM BAM! Hey, kid! what do we got? no luck so what look what we do got. hey kid! what do we got? no luck. so what? when all those people try to hold us down with what they got we say hey kids, what do we got? no luck. so what? so what? you don't got nothin, you got nothing to lose. so what? I'll tell ya something, it's gonna be alright. 011030 ... mp21k Getting a Grip on Antimatter 31 August 2004 Research into what separates matter from antimatter is accelerating in particle physics experiments around the world. Scientists are hoping the difference will help explain why you, me and all the things around us are made of matter instead of its opposite. With equal mass but opposite electric charge, there are anti-particles that correspond to the proton, the electron, and the whole zoo of fundamental particles that physicists have so far catalogued. Strange as they sound, these particles do exist, and they can be created. They just don't last long. If the existential partners come together, they completely annihilate each other. This yin and yang of physics has been fodder for many science fiction plots. And the copious amount of energy that comes out of matter-antimatter annihilations might one day be put to use as a fuel source. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/antimatter_040831.html 040831 ... . "Antimatter is around us each day, although there isn't very much of it," says Gerald Share of the Naval Research Laboratory. "It is not something that can be found by itself in a jar on a table." Unknowns remain Though scientists like to see antimatter as a natural thing, much about it remains highly mysterious. Even some of the fictional portrayals of mirror-image objects have not been proven totally out of this world. "We cannot rule out the possibility that some antimatter star or galaxy exists somewhere," Share says. "Generally it would look the same as a matter star or galaxy to most of our instruments." 040831 ... mp21k *** * Antihydrogen Atoms *** Number 697 #1, August 19, 2004 Newly created antihydrogen atoms have been caught speeding for the first time. Owing to the vast preponderance of ordinary matter over antimatter in the visible universe, and the propensity of any antimatter around to annihilate hastily with any conventional particulate matter in the vicinity, the only place anti-atoms exist on Earth for more than a microsecond is in a chambered vault at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD) lab in Geneva. http://www.aip.org/pnu/2004/split/697-1.html 040904 ... Alrighty Then The allegation that the particles "completely annihilate" each other is absurd; that something can no longer be seen or evidenced is not evidence of annihilation. Perhaps they teleport elsewhere, or go into hiding. Perhaps they cloak one another in silent adoration. Perhaps united antimaterials masquerade as 'intelligent' life on earth. 060116 what's it to you? who go blather from
