Is it possible that gamma ray bursts are caused by matter-antimatter collisions?

Question

I recently read that when mattter and antimatter meet, they annihilate and revert back to pure energy, and that it is possible that anntimatter gallaxies even still exist in our universe, but that such gallaxies would innevitably collide with gallaxies of matter and create huge amounts of gamma ray energy that would hurl out from each other in two huge rays.

Now this sounds exactly like what i've read of gamma ray bursts. How about it you physicists out there? Could that be what causes the gamma ray bursts that are still really unexplained occurances of enormous energy output?

Answer 1

Now while bringing matter and antimatter together will produce gamma-rays, the universe is virtually all made of matter. the sheer amount of anti-matter needed to generate the energies in a GRB is beyond the amount of anti-matter that could be found in one place.

The possibility of "anti-matter" galaxies can not be ruled out on a universe-wide scale, but at the range of the local universe it can be. The energy scale of combining a matter and anti-matter galaxy would also be far above (by many orders of magnitude) any GRB, or cosmic event ever observed. a few classes of GRB's have also now been optically linked to certain supernova events

Answer 2

It is currently theorized that the extra gamma ray bursts are caused by black holes. The middle of the black holes will shoot (almost like a laser blast) gamma rays from its center. Originally the mathematics did support this because they originally thought the rays would burst outward like a bubble (from a black hole) and so would not equal the burst that they were detecting, but because it shoots from the center as a concentrated beam it makes sense now.
Also to let you know (only because you seem interested in antimatter). Gamma rays are only one product of an antimatter and matter collision. I believe even an electron and a positron(antimatter electron) will produce a gamma ray, one photon (light particle), and a neutrino(kind of like an electron with out a charge). This is only if the electron and positron are traveling at the speed of light in which energy is converted into matter during the annihilation.

The micro-universe and the macro- universe functions very much by the similar rule.However In the Miro -universe of atoms micromasses collide continuouly inside them and relatively have a very large volume to travel in.
Even thought the relative volume to mass ratio is very large the atoms appear to us as solid balls.
When an elementary particle is pushed out of its skin containment it becomes a skinless particle. The skin consist of a space substance which today they allude to as dark matter which is really the antimatter..When the mass returns to its original structure the collision breaks both apart giving off an intensive mass radiation which moves at the speed of light.
This scenario only occur in micromasses but not in macromasses.Gamma radiation is basically occuring in the mass breaks up in the atoms at a very high radiation of mass frequency.
A Galaxy is a conglamoration of star mass structure which are very far apart in a very large volume of space and since they are so far away by the principle of perspective they also apear as solid balls. It makes the night sky interesting rather than an empty space devoid of illumination. The sum of all Galaxies form the universe just as the sum of atom forms a material structure.
Any gamma radiation bursts which would come out of star is merelely the interaction of nuclear fusion ot the atom existing in the star.Not necessarelly of galactic collision. Note collison means sticking together from the french word cole.

Answer 4

There is huge, and there is HUGE. You don't have hugh rays, since each ray represents one annihilation. What you do have is a great many rays. This could well be, but even with galaxies, this could be a relatively un-huge event, for there is still alot of "empty" space even in galaxies. Maybe there is an anti-matter black hole out there.
We're doomed, we going to die.

Answer 5

Gamma ray bursts in area take place whilst a supergiant celebrity spinning on its axis at a huge speeds collapses on itself becoming a black hollow. the full physics of it relatively is unknown to me yet whilst this sort of celebrity collapses ensuing in a black hollow gamma ray bursts take place in area.
