Cancer Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 There is an unrecognized assumption there about one's perception horizon being much smaller than the scale length of the local gravity field. And we'll overlook ignorance of the nomenclature of QCD, which was the immediate reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Just remember: an up and an antidown are not the same thing. Just like an electron and an antiproton aren't the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Just like an electron and an antiproton aren't the same thing. Which is crucial in how they collect anti-hydrogen. The LHC makes antiprotons, of course, and you can collect them, but if they touch normal matter they go up in a flash. But diverting them through a plasma of electrons will slow them down to manageable speeds, and you can chill them and contain them safely, then spill in positrons, and voila! Antihydrogen, and you can do spectroscopy on it and check that it has the same spectrum as ordinary hydrogen. Bazza and Pariah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
