    science and discovery. The scientific horizon looks fruitful. One such fruit is the discovery and application of a thing called antimatter. During the next few decades our ability to produce, accumulate, and contain large quantities of antimatter should become feasible, leaving us just to research possible uses for this promising, radically new, form of energy. Antimatter is exactly what the name suggests. It is the opposite of matter in which the charges associated with electrons and protons are

  • Essay On Antimatter

    1567 Words  | 4 Pages

    Most people have heard of antimatter before but don’t know what it is or means. Antimatter is used in particle physics and consists of antiparticles. These antiparticles have the same mass as regular particles but they have an opposite charge from other particles as well as other differences in particle properties. Antimatter can be created in particle accelerators and also can be produced naturally. It is created naturally when radioactive isotopes decay. When antimatter is created it could potentially

    Next, more evidence the Illuminati is endeavoring to meet their desires is that they are attempting to change the world so that it suits them in an ameliorated way. Notably, this is displayed when the Illuminati place the antimatter canister in the soul of Vatican City. They do this because they want to diminish Christianity. Indeed, Illuminati members have an ultimate objective to eliminate religion from the planet and fancy making an impactful primary impression by beginning

  • The String Theory

    1035 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sub-atomic particles, known as quarks, electrons, photons, and neutrinos were strewn across expanding space. Equal amounts of matter and antimatter particles began to collide and annihilate each other. Gravity, strong and weak nuclear forces, and electromagnetic forces soon came into play. As the universe started to cool, fundamental particles called quarks began to smash together forming protons and neutrons. They, in turn, merged to create the nuclei of simple elements, beginning with hydrogen

    Angels and Demons by Dan Brown 1.) The main setting takes place in the beautiful, elegant, religious, Vatican City. The story pretty spread out throughout the Vatican in churches, especially St. Peter’s Basilica, museums, the pope’s hidden passageways, offices, and a lot of other interesting places.

  • Essay On Particle Physics And Cosmology

    1554 Words  | 4 Pages

    Particle Physics plays an important role in attempting to answer many modern cosmological theories, notably: dark matter, structure formation, baryogenesis and nucleosynthesis. I am going to discuss some of connections between particle physics and cosmology and investigate how experimental particle physics and cosmology can complement each other and how dependable the connections are. Dark Matter There is now strong evidence pointing towards the existence of dark matter in the universe, derived

  • Star Traveling To The Millennium

    2112 Words  | 5 Pages

    Now as we are rapidly approaching the Millenium many people are getting the blues. This seems absurd because this offers all of us a perfect chance to start again. NASA is embracing this chance to grow and expand their departments. The phrase, “Space, the final frontier,” expresses the world’s obsession with space travel, that started centuries before it even became popular 30 years ago in Gene Roddenberry’s TV series “Star Trek.” Science fiction has entertained our culture for years. Movies such

  • Energy as Matter

    organic and inorganic. However, energy surrounds us in more ways than is commonly believed; it is possible that matter is only a form of energy. In fact, according to Albert Einstein, matter and energy are different forms of the same thing (“Do Antimatter and Matter Destroy Each Other?”). Through analyzing the superposition of bosons (particles without mass) and fermions (particles with mass), transformations between energy and matter, the creation of mass, and the mass of energy, the existence of

  • The Big Bang Theory

    883 Words  | 2 Pages

    Astronomers believed the Universe was created about 14 billion years ago. During that time, the entire Universe was inside a bubble that was thousands of times smaller than a pinhead, and it was insanely hot and dense. Out of nowhere this little bubble started expanding. This expansion created what we know as the Universe. In such little time the Universe went from the size of an atom to the ginormous galaxy we have that is continuously growing. According to the Big Bang Theory the universe appeared

    “In the beginning…” These words launch the book of Genesis, conceivably the greatest first expression of any narrative. This biblical phrase is of absolute paramount considering that stirring at heart at of human nature are questions of existence and manifestation. In view of the fact that no YouTube videos of the Big Bang, of the Judeo-Christian God, or of Gaia creating order out of Chaos humans must rely on folklore, legends, and myths conveyed from generation to generations to construct explanations

If antimatter is used as a source of propulsion, then their technology must more advanced then our own. It costs so much money for us to create one particle of antimatter that it is very impractical for us to try to power ships with it. While we might be able to communicate with them, discussing science could be nearly impossible because

    the Universe in the first microsecond. Within the quarks, matter and antimatter (elementary particles such as protons and electrons, yet with an opposite charge) was distributed in a 2:1 ratio. The matter and antimatter soon began to cancel each other out, for antimatter and matter cannot coexist in close range for more than a few seconds without annihilating each other. Because the matter had more particles then the antimatter, there was a little residue left over. It was this leftover debris that

    written in 2000. Robert Langdon has been asked to help solve a murder mystery because it is believed that a secret society that he has studied called the illuminati are behind it. The story takes a ton of twist and turns that involve a container of antimatter, the Catholic Church and a dead priest’s secret. Even though both of these books were written in different times and with totally different plots they still both bring to light the battle between science and religion that may never diminish. Victor

  • Dark Matter and Dark Energy

    779 Words  | 2 Pages

    Dark matter and dark energy are two entities that have very little known about them, except that they make up about 95 percent of the universe. Even though this is a large part of the universe, it wasn’t even thought about until the 1960’s or the 1970’s. This is because of the fact that it is very hard to detect and almost impossible to see. Although it is impossible to see, we can see the effects of them both in our galaxy. One way that we can “see” the dark matter is the movement of the Milky Way

  • Ventresca Quotes

    To begin, one can evaluate the character of Chamberlain Ventresca. First, he is a calm and peaceful man. To illustrate, Ventresca maintains his composure when it is conveyed to him that an explosive antimatter specimen has been embedded inside Vatican City. The Chamberlain is the temporary Pope of the Vatican, and so bears full responsibility for its protection. Yet, when a powerful explosive device threatens security, Ventresca remains cool in his head. As stated in the novel, “Calm and efficient

  • Time Travel: The Theory of Relativity

    Those wishing to preserve the possibility of time travel must discard any hope of traveling to the past, which we will henceforth refer to as “past-travel,” due to the paradoxical problems involved in the journey. Of the many paradoxes that plague theories of past-travel, the double occupation paradox proves most severe, not only due to its underlying physics violations, but also the fact that those who argue against the paradox have failed to acknowledge its severity. The paradox holds that a time

    Billion years ago, there was an extra-ordinary event without which nothing would exist. It was the beginning of the universe. It was the time when a large amount of energy in an infinitely small space violently expanded and led to the creation of universe and everything else that we see around us today. It can perhaps be regarded as the greatest scientific achievement to understand the history and nature of how the universe came into being. There are various viewpoints on what happened before the
