PULSAR FORCES. “This weathering takes place as "the cold, magnetized relativistic wind launched by the star hits the non-relativistically expanding ejecta, a shock wave system forms in the impact: the outer one propagates in the ejecta, while a reverse shock propagates back towards the star." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

SPACE WEATHER. “The former ejection of matter in the outer shock wave and the latter production of antimatter in the reverse shock wave are steps in a space weather cycle.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

HIGH ENERGY ANTIMATTER. “Cosmic ray antiprotons also have a much higher energy than their normal-matter counterparts (protons). They arrive at Earth with a characteristic energy maximum of 2 GeV, indicating their production in a fundamentally different process from cosmic ray protons, which on average have only one-sixth of the energy.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE OUTCOME. “An ecosystem does not really have a ‘functional’ structure because it does not have a ‘function’. Selection is purely on the basis of individual survival and not ecosystem performance. This implies that ‘diversity’ is an important feature of complex, evolutionary systems. It is both the ‘driver’ of evolution and also the outcome.”" " https://lnkd.in/d8jcRAyX View in LinkedIn

7 lbs of prime blackberries, the hermaphrodite plant which also undergoes apomixis as an alternative reproductive strategy. " " https://lnkd.in/g5pPBsiG View in LinkedIn

ANTIMATTER STARS. “There is an ongoing search for larger antimatter nuclei, such as antihelium nuclei (that is, anti-alpha particles), in cosmic rays. The detection of natural antihelium could imply the existence of large antimatter structures such as an antistar.” (A real conceptual problem). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

THE ANTIPROTON. “The existence of the antiproton was experimentally confirmed in 1955 by University of California, Berkeley physicists Emilio Segrè and Owen Chamberlain, for which they were awarded the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physics.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

CHARACTERISTICS. “An antiproton consists of two up antiquarks and one down antiquark. The properties of the antiproton that have been measured all match the corresponding properties of the proton, with the exception of the antiproton having opposite electric charge and magnetic moment from the proton.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

ENERGY LIMITS. “In addition to antibaryons, anti-nuclei consisting of multiple bound antiprotons and antineutrons have been created. These are typically produced at energies far too high to form antimatter atoms (with bound positrons in place of electrons).” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

FIRST MILESTONE. “In 1995, CERN announced that it had successfully brought into existence nine hot antihydrogen atoms.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn
