Antimatter

King Felix

Was watching a documentary about quantum physics which discussed the existence of antimatter and stated the possibility of there being an alternative universe, mirroring our own, just made up of anti-particles.

Somewhere out there, there's a world containing all of us, mimicking our every move and thinking they are as real as we are. What an odd notion.

So in another universe somewhere, there's another me starting a thread right now in Before Hours entitled Matter.

So in another universe, I'm happy and not ginger?
Well, at least one of me is doing well.

No need for the meson.

I double posted the other thread and had to come up with something quick.

I assume were headed in the same direction through time.

Just if I go the left, the Anti-King Felix goes to the right.

But it's all relativity, I suppose.

In this alternate universe, is there a me having a delicious breakfast at the moment? I'd like to be in that one.

What if you are the matter and anti-matter version of yourself simultaneously, right now.

They do all the same things. If you're having porridge your alternative self is having anti-porridge.

If matter and anti-matter ever meet, the universe will implode.

Utterly destroyed.

If you ever see your Doppelgänger, run.

WindSock

Yeah well I am having anti-delicious breakfast atm.

paddyland

Double post.

King Felix

A timely article.

They're trying to find the anti-universe now.

Yeah iirc the universe could have gone either toward matter or antimatter at the start... we ended up with matter

galwayrush

Maybe we are in the Anti matter Universe and just got things arseways.

I guess in this other universe, I'm being banned from boards.ie right now for not trolling...

Which is a shame as in that universe, ginger hair is the strongest aphrodisiac known to mankind.

Your name is Karma here, would Anti Karma exist in the other place?
Would people there be taking anti aphrodisiacs ?

That's a different theory.

For evry wave-function collapse, every time a particle makes a decision, the universe splits into each possibility.

So all the multiverses are comprised of matter.

If the theory holds then then there would be (mirrored) many-worlds or multiverses comprised of anti-matter.

It's ok, there's an organisation set up to stop them, they're called con-cern.

There could be lots of universes. A multiverse if you will. And they might look like this

~~~~~
~~~~~
~~~~~
~~~~~

Membranes on top of each other. We perceive them as being in three dimensions with a fourth, time, running through. Of course according to string theory, there are 11 dimensions.

In the bigger picture, matter only makes up around 4% of the universe that we can see. The rest is dark matter and dark energy.

We're like fish in the pond. They can go anywhere they want in the pond but have no idea of the world and dimensions outside it. As far as they are concerned the pond is all that exists.

I wish I was in the alternative universe now as I wouldn't have a hangover.

So is this tread about parallel universes or antimatter?

Antimatter existed in the universe after the big bang but only for a few seconds. When ordinary matter and antimatter meet they annihilate each other which results in a great amount of energy being released. There was a great "battle" between matter and antimatter a few seconds after the big bang. Matter won, for some strange reason there was more matter in the universe at the time than antimatter. If the radio were 50:50, then the universe would in total darkness. In fact there is very little matter in the universe in comparison to its vast amount of space. The existance of antimatter is a fact. Antiparticles are actually being used in modern technology. Physicist at CERN have already created full antihydrogen atom, but only a few and they only existed for a few seconds. To create a gram of antimatter it would take millions of years and it would be incredible hard to store.

Parallel universes is really another topic, however it could be possible that the antimatter won the "Great matter - antimatter war" a couple of seconds after the big bang. The theory of parallel universes was first proposed after analysis electrons in the atom. It was thought that electrons could jump in and out of this universe into a parallel universe; sharing their orbits with the nuclei of another atoms, or their alternate nuclei. The theory of parallel universes has been further investigated, particularly in string theory and M-theory. It opens out other doors such as their being up to 11 dimensions.

Well, I hope I have a Bugatti Veyron and Speedboat in that other dimension.

I bet the fucker is even going to Electric Picnic.

The only problem with the alternative universe is the sheer amount of goatee beards, especially on the women.

Actually, I believe the anti-verse is superimposed with our universe. All particles in the universe are coupled with their anti-particles, existing in the same space at the same time. It's only a matter of being able to observe these anti-particles.

Discuss.

It's a ****ing thread in AH, where we imagine what our alternate counterparts are up to.
Scientific research does not come into play.

Sorry, I was just bringing a bit of scientific correctness into the thread.
i.e., antimatter =/= alternate universes. This title of this thread is "antimatter" therefore imagining "what our alternate counterparts are up to", is quite off topic.

It's alternative particle not anit-particle.

A mirror world made of anti-matter would not be opposite land. Everything would be the exact same, the only difference would be if we ever came in contact we'd destroy each other.

It would be like mixing up the theories of Maurice Goldhaber and those of Everett and Wheeler.
