i'm pretty sure it has been a proven fact now that it's there i remember reading about it in one of our aerospace design journals we have in the crapper here at work...lol

Well, I think I read the same article in our "john" at work.

The scientists that first created anit-matter placed what they created in a glass beaker which disappeared. So, they went back to the drawing board and came up with the conclusion that glass and anit-matter were a certain no-no. They eventualy decided that the way to preserve the anti-matter was to suspend it in a gravitational field powered by huge electromagnetic coils. This approach prevented the anti-matter from coming in contact with anything else, and it worked for a while.

Over time the anti-matter absorbed molecules of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere and the anti-matter just evaporated into nothing once again. You are obviously aware that the combination of Posi-Matter and Anti-Matter yield a net product of zero. And, at this point the story ends, because attempts to store anti-matter in a vacuum were proved foolish also because you cannot keep something in a true vacuum forever. The last I remember reading in the "john" was that the researchers were still looking for a suitable container, and then, there was this guy's telephone number scribbled on the wall.

We don't know what dark matter is. It may be "axions", a theoretical particle that potentially could be created in accelerators.

The most common type of antimatter are anti-electrons, or positrons. They will annihilate, creating gamma rays. The main thing is not to have too many of them. A few gamma rays (like a few X-rays) don't do much damage.

Anti-protons can be confined in a cyclotron. The do fall under gravity, but are boosted back up into their orbit in the cyclotron by electromagnetic deflectors.

Humans have never made antimatter in very large quantities, so the energy release from annihilation is not very great, and the energetic particles that result from annihilation are contained by lead shielding, just like the radiation from normal high-energy matter.

It would have to be kept in a vacuum. An electric or possibly magnetic field could contain it. Complex manipulation of the fields could theoretically direct a small amount into some container where it would react with matter. I suspect that is beyond what we could now do. The only way to harness it is to annihilate it.

Apparently, God loves to create very intricate matters to exhibit His Glory and countless vigour. Why can not He accomplish that if all He has to do is talk them into life? If you would snap your palms and difference all of the automobiles on the planet to run on water without a air pollution, would not you? How approximately simply getting the equal mileage as a bumblebee which will journey 1 miles on a gallon of nectar? Who created the bee? The human mind is way more problematic than the leisure of the universe mixed. Consider there are approximately 6 billion individuals on the planet, each and every with approximately one hundred trillion greatly problematic cells of their our bodies, the frame creates billions of latest cells day-to-day, and has three billion pairs of DNA....the method through which our eyes and mind "see" calls for thousands of electric and chemical conversions to take position each and every minute, all of the blood vessels within the frame, if laid out finish to finish, might stretch world wide two times over...60,000 miles. Yet our first-rate our bodies handiest include round three.00 valued at of chemical compounds and minerals. God's handiwork is outstanding! In the centuries earlier than scanning electron microscopes, individuals would see the beauty of God's production within the stars....and so they nonetheless can see much more in these days. The Bible says the celebs are extra numerous than all of the sand on the planet. Dark topic and vigour look to be God's process of preserving the universe from collapsing on itself. If galaxies are relocating clear of each and every different and earth, why don't seem to be additionally they increasing as good? And why do all of them look to be relocating clear of earth...is earth the middle of production?

You would have to use energy, possible an immense gravitational field that would make it impossible for the anti-matter inside to escape, yet not affect the outside matter. Kinda like a "mini" black hole. Of course that's easier said than done.

We don't even know what dark matter is. We have created antimatter in particle collides and we can contain them using magnetics. They're isolated particles and not a block of it. It's usually used in subsequent collisions.

Well it only exists because the people that be want it to balance out the big bang theory. It's dark (so you can't see it,) it's on the outer reaches of the universe (so you can't see it) AND GUESS WHAT (no ones seen it) They use it because they want to explain the absence of matter in the universe. That's one of the problems with the big bang theory. They say you can see the effects of it but I think this is based more on hope than actual scientific evidence which is what you need to substantiate a theory.

I notice that it's talked about like there's no question of it's existence by the way.
