Anti-matter????

Question

I read something some time ago; That a group of scientists in Switzerland had created anti-matter in a lab. How is this done, any one know? Is this also what they call black matter? Where would anti-matter be found under normal circumstances? I'd love to know

Answer 1

Here is an informative site on the subject:

Answer 2

This would involve the Created or Destroyed thing that some primative Philosopher said. The thing is not created or destroyed, only changed. If you change the structure of something, you haven't destroyed it. This would be a good answer to getting rid of rubbish, but I'm sure that if the Swis had come up with a way to do this then so would many other people. Your second idea was about black matter, black matter is a void where there is nothing and where? in science fiction stuff.

Particle accellerators can create matter out of energy by colliding particles at high speed. The high speed is equivalent to mass (E=mc^2), so additional particles are created. When matter is created, it is always created in matter-antimatter pairs. The electric charge of antimatter is opposite to normal matter, so that a proton of antimatter, for example, has a negative charge instead of positive. Antimatter is only created artificially because it reverts back to energy whenever it comes into contact with normal matter. Dark matter is so-far undetected matter which must exist for galaxies to rotate gravitationally as fast as they do based on observation. Interestingly, scientists don't know for sure why there isn't an equal amount of antimatter as normal matter in the universe, because all condensed out of energy just after the big bang, and that's supposed to result in equal amounts of matter and antimatter. It's a good thing there isn't, however, since matter and antimatter annhialate each other when they come into contact (reverting back to energy).

Answer 4

Anti-matter does not exist naturally on earth.

In 1995 CERN announced that it had successfully created nine antihydrogen atoms by implementing the SLAC/Fermilab concept during the PS210 experiment. The experiment was performed using the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR), and was led by Walter Oelert and Mario Macri. Fermilab soon confirmed the CERN findings by producing approximately 100 antihydrogen atoms at their facilities.

Anti matter is not "black matter"

Answer 5

count is what makes you me and just about each and every thing else which could be seen touched or smelled dark count is only the call they provide to a minimum of a few thing that they've no thought what it extremely is, so as that they call it dark count by way of fact it doesnt work together with regualr count in any respect, the only way all of us understand of it extremely is by way of its gravitational consequences. variety of like how all of us understand approximately black holes even however we cant see them yet we detect them by way of fact of their gravity. Antimatter is truthfully the comparable as count, only the charges are reversed so if count and anti-count come into touch they wreck one yet another, and anti count isn't imaginary, it extremely is been created interior the laboratory so it extremely is amazingly authentic.

Answer 6

Can only suggest you visit science site or the library to get an accurate description and understanding.

Answer 7

antimatter has the opposite charge of matter. but, about making it, well, DONT EVER EVER EVER AND I REPEAT NEVER! try to make antimatter! EVER! it has 137 times the force of an atomic bomb its same size when in contact with matter! SO NEVER DO IT. and anyways, you cant, unless u figure out a way to do it better, they could only make a it on the atom scale, to make just one gram, you would need something like a quantilium dollars and billions of years to make it.

Answer 8

Picture it, money you have is `matter`, + the stuff (blocks) remaining is the `Anti-matter`. That`s what I understand

Answer 9

I remember hearing this on News Round a few years back. They only made about 3 atoms of it, I think radiation was used. I don't know the exact physics of it. I know anti-matter has the electrons in the nucleus and the protons revolving around it.
