From two-trillion-degree heat, researchers create new matter -- and new questions

The new antinucleus, discovered at RHIC’s STAR detector

An international team of scientists studying high-energy collisions of gold ions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a 2.4-mile-circumference particle accelerator located at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, has published evidence of the most massive antinucleus discovered to date.

The STAR team has found that the rate at which their heaviest antinucleus is produced is consistent with expectations based on a statistical collection of antiquarks from the soup of quarks and antiquarks generated in RHIC collisions. Extrapolating from this result, the experimenters believe they should be able to discover even heavier antinuclei in upcoming collider running periods. Theoretical physicist Stoecker and his team have predicted that strange nuclei around double the mass of the newly discovered state should be particularly stable.

litlle question; anitimatter is stable???


What are your views on this empirical experiment?

Detecting and understanding the QGP allows us to understand better the universe in the moments after the Big Bang, where the symmetries (and lack of symmetries) of our surroundings were put into motion. Unlike other physics experiments where a theoretical idea can be tested directly by a single measurement, STAR must make use of a variety of simultaneous studies in order to draw strong conclusions about the QGP. This is due both to the complexity of the system formed in high-energy nuclear collisions and the unexplored landscape of the physics being studied.

'Reversing' Time

By using powerful computers to reconstruct the sub-atomic interactions which produce the particles emerging from each collision, the detector can, in a sense, run time backwards. This process can be compared to examining the final products which come out of a factory and trying to determine what kinds of machines produced them.

Okay, I'm beginning to feel some hesitation here.

simultaneous studies in order to draw strong conclusions about the QGP

what are studies? What kind of studies?

By using powerful computers to reconstruct the sub-atomic interactions

Powerful computers running software that is made out of algorithms based on different theories, I pressume?

'eRHIC', an Electron-Heavy Ion Collider

When protons or nuclei are viewed at very high energies -- as the ions speeding toward collisions at RHIC “see” each other -- their structure is completely dominated by a teeming sea of gluons, the elusive particles exchanged between quarks when they exert forces on one another.

Thats sounds quite spectacular!

To be honest it all sounds like complete hogwash to me. Do we really have a good notion or even definition of antimatter?? Yes, the electron and positron might be eachothers complement but what about all other particles? Do we have anti-photons too, waving opposite to regular photons for instance???

According to Miles Mathis the only difference between matter and antimatter is the rotation of the photons that are emitted by that matter. Earth is made of matter, but Venus could be made of mostly antimatter.

I just love all these particles! When are they going to announce the discovery of the kidon, the havon and the moron...?

Well, they take a thing they cannot see or identify first, then expose it to trillion degree heat ,expose to a huge unnatural magnetic and electric field, then use exotic substances to photo capture an uber dooper brief appearance of, the interactive effect of , something they cannot see either!, the muse & plot the squiggles ,and then declare they know what the squiggles are!!!

BS!.. BUT hey... it would be fun!

I suggest they zoooooom!!!! a chickens egg around next , also add some rhythmic cymatics too, maybe Batehovens 9th might work?... I reckon they will find the recipe for an omlette and quiche.. is contained inside every egg!

PS Skep...LOL!

The Higgs-Moron!!!! ... brilliant...Hahaha!!!
