Was there a reason for posting that 3 times?

Posted: Dec 01 2009 11:33 am

yeah, whats up w/the triple post? his comp was probably messing up is my guess

Yeah, when a picture is loading, it is very hard to resist re-clicking submit.

holy shit i didn't even realize that haha.
but you gotta admit, when you hear the world is saved from being converted into a human made black hole, that really is like 3 great successes at once. Smile

Exotic Antimatter Detected at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

The new antinucleus, discovered at RHIC's STAR detector, is a negatively charged state of
antimatter containing an antiproton, an antineutron, and an anti-Lambda particle. It is also the first antinucleus containing an anti-strange quark.

"Man from the Future" Arrested At CERN's LHC Escaped Custody -True Identity Discovered

Last week The Daily Galaxy did a post about a would-be saboteur arrested on April 1 at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland who made the bizarre claim that he was from the future. Several of the Galaxy's readers took us to task for falling hopelessly for what appeared on the surface to be an April's Fool Joke.

But our Euro-based editor suspected that the so-called "April Fool's" timing was a cover, a clever ruse, indeed, a red herring planted by CERN authorities -stung by the recent bad press about the LHC creating incipient black holes that could destroy the planet- to cloak a much bigger and more terrifying story.

We also know that CERN authorities were upset last year when the Japanese physicist Masao Ninomiya and Danish string-theory pioneer Holger Bech Nielsen put forward the hypothesis that the Higgs boson was so "abhorrent" that it somehow caused a ripple in time that prevented its own discovery (more on this later).

So we dug deeper, ignoring that popular canard that when you find yourself in a hole, to stop digging.

Here's what our man in Geneva, Hugh McCleod, unearthed (in a manner of speaking) from several top-ranking CERN sources who insisted on anonymity.

First, insisting that his name was Eloi Cole, the strangely dressed young man wearing a florescent bow tie told authorities that he had traveled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world . Mr Cole was seized by Swiss police after CERN security guards spotted him rooting around in bins. Authorities reported that he would not reveal his country of origin. "Countries do not exist where I am from." He explained that he was looking for fuel for his 'time machine power unit', a device that resembled a kitchen blender. The LHC successfully collided particles at record force earlier that week, a milestone Mr Cole admitted he was attempting to disrupt by stopping supplies of Mountain Dew to the experiment's vending machines -a beverage many of CERN's more brilliant physicists believe (as does the American politician, Sarah Palin and pundit, Glenn Beck) helps fuel their brain power and insights into the quantum world. (We'll elaborate on the Mountain Dew connection later in the story).

Under intensive interrogation Cole told CERN investigators that "All my life I've had this strange feeling that there's something big and sinister going on in the world" and eventually admitted that his real name was not Eloi Cole, but rather, Arthur Dent. His identity was subsequently confirmed by British physicist and rock star, Brian Cox, employed at CERN who recognized the above quote as a seminal ID marker from the 1970s bestseller, The Hitchhiker's Guide the the Galaxy.

Following his initial interrogation, The Daily Galaxy learned that Mr Cole/Dent was taken to a "secure" mental health facility in Geneva, but later disappeared from his cell. Police are baffled, we learned, "but not that bothered." We suspect they should be. Here's why:

Dent (aka Cole) was observed, McLeod learned from an elderly custodian, to have been assisted in his escape from the CERN detention center by a tall distracted visitor, an out of work actor claiming to be Dent's friend who signed the daily register with the initials "FP."

The physicist/Bono wannabe Cox told authorities that the initials might belong to a truth-is-stranger-than-fiction character named Ford Prefect. This friend, who told a receptionist that he was delivering a towel to Dent/Cole prior to their rushed escape, left behind, we learned, a severely dog-eared copy of a popular biography, The Second Coming of Steve Jobs. We are unsure at the moment of how this might relate to unfolding events.

A Canadian-led experiment has trapped mysterious antimatter in a container and held it for more than a quarter of an hour -probably longer -giving scientists the first chance to study the stuff.

The first antimatter ever created, in the mid-1990s, annihilated itself in the tiniest fraction of a second.

Now scientists are joking they have time for go for cof-fee while the antimatter waits for them.

"You can practically bottle the stuff," says Marcello Pavan of Triumf, Canada's national particle physics lab in Vancouver.

The work comes from CERN, the Swiss lab better known as the place where scientists smash protons against each other.

But unlike most global science projects where Canada plays a modest role, about one-third of the antimatter group is Canadian.

That includes its leader, Makoto Fujiwara of Triumf in Vancouver, who is thrilled at the new ability to bring an almost unknown material into the lab.

In normal matter an electron with a negative charge orbits a nucleus with a positive proton. In antimatter, a positively-charged version of the electron, called a positron, orbits a negative antiproton. It's famous in science fiction from Star Trek to Angels and Demons.

The Fujiwara team reports today in the journal Nature on 309 antiatoms it has created.

When antimatter touches matter, it annihilates itself in a burst of energy -a fact used over and over in science fiction. When the first real antimatter was manufactured, it would shoot along at close to light speed, bang into ordinary matter and obliterate itself.

Now it sits still, waiting for someone to do experiments on it.

Fujiwara hopes soon to shoot microwaves at it to see whether antihydrogen has the same spectrum as hydrogen. "It's almost like seeing whether they are the same color," he says. Theory says yes. If they aren't right, "it will rewrite all the textbooks."

Later experiments may look at whether antimatter has gravity. Again, it should, but no one knows for sure.

"Canadians were actually the ones who pushed for this experiment, so we were in the forefront," Pavan said.

The team at CERN uses a magnet to keep the antimatter hanging in the centre of a vacuum. If they turn off the magnet, antimatter drifts over to the side of this "trap," touches ordinary matter, and is annihilated.

The team, called ALPHA, announced in November, 2010, that they had succeeded in storing antimatter atoms for the first time ever, hav-ing captured 38 atoms of antihydrogen and storing each for a sixth of a second. In the weeks following, ALPHA continued to collect anti-atoms and hold them for longer and longer times.

But why study it at all? "In the beginning of the universe, in the Big Bang, we believe there were equal amounts of matter and antimatter created," said Fujiwara.

Something happened to make the antimatter disappear, and now the hunt is on for an explanation.

go canada. pretty crazy to think they might be able to harness anti matter. to those that want to know why we should care, read this:

Nothing says Canadian like "Makoto Fujiwara", eh?

Posted: Jul 10 2011 01:40 am

"this is great harnessing antimatter, eh?"
"Yeah soon we will have Star Trek warp technology!"
"Yep these are the times worthwhil- Oh shit a bird with a baggette!"

"Quick! Get it away from the antima-"

END OF WORLD!!!!!!!!!!

isn't there a theory that when matter and antimatter collide matter wins over by .0002% or something?

Oh wow, that's pretty wild.

Oh God, it's Angels and Demons come true! Some one warn the Vatican! And arrest Ewan McGregor!

Any pictures of the anitmatter?

stupid matter always winning

GO ANTIMATTER GO!!!
