EXTERNAL SOURCE. “My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.” (Nikola Tesla) https://lnkd.in/d5ivi3R3 View in LinkedIn

ANNIHILATION. “A collision between any particle and its anti-particle partner leads to their mutual annihilation, giving rise to various proportions of intense photons (gamma rays), neutrinos, and sometimes less-massive particle–antiparticle pairs. The majority of the total energy of annihilation emerges in the form of ionizing radiation.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

SIMILAR BUT DISTINCT. “Theoretically, a particle and its anti-particle (for example, a proton and an antiproton) have the same mass, but opposite electric charge, and other differences in quantum numbers. For example, a proton has positive charge while an antiproton has negative charge.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

ILLUSIVE STUFF. “No macroscopic amount of antimatter has ever been assembled due to the extreme cost and difficulty of production and handling.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

SOURCES OF ANTIMATTER. “Minuscule numbers of antiparticles are generated daily at particle accelerators—total production has been only a few nanograms—and in natural processes like cosmic ray collisions and some types of radioactive decay, but only a tiny fraction of these have successfully been bound together in experiments to form anti-atoms.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

ANTIMATTER. “In modern physics, antimatter is defined as matter that is composed of the antiparticles (or "partners") of the corresponding particles of "ordinary" matter.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

THE NEXT SECTION focuses on antimatter, that counter-intuitive stuff that has been proven to exist, and that whole stars may be composed of. It appears to be something out of science fiction, but is very real, and everywhere. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. View in LinkedIn
