Kick off the convo for anyone who’s interested. What got me interested, is a paper published by Stephen Hawking in 2014. His theory was that matter and antimatter destroyed each other on the edges of black holes.
The article included is just to start the convo. All thoughts welcome
I took two classes in modern physics so idk what Im talking about here lol. I know antimatter collisions cause all of the internal energy of the particles to be released explosively, but not sure why that would happen in black holes
Maybe future spaceships will have antimatter engines containing mini black holes
I took nuclear physics and can only remember this. It was just so much information that you don’t apply to your everyday life. Hope someone can add more to the conversation
Yo @Zwaynopolous did you ever observe beta decay when you took nuclear physics? There is a positron annihilation reaction there when its beta + and you can observe the gamma emission form the rreaction
I had to learn about beta, alpha, gamma decay, and ionizing radiation, but I only worked with ionizing radiation and gamma photons. I did nuclear medicine and was a registered nurse. I used a thallium doped crystal with metal septa separating weak photons using the photo electric effect to turn energy into light. 100,000 photons a second with an electronic matrix to change the pictures resolution. Everything I did in nuclear medicine was physiology how systems work. It was interesting work.
I read the article. What would be cool is if we could harness the energy of a lightning bolt, cool it down while retaining its power and inject it into people to cure them of cancer.
