What is Matter?
Thursday, May 31, 2001
Where
did matter came from? People who watch the Star Trek and Star Wars episodes on
TV and movies have been given a general explanations.
-
The Milky Way Galaxy
is composed of matter or antimatter. There are two black holes at the center of
our galaxy. One black hole is composed of matter; and the other is
antimatter. The black holes are strewing matter into space forming a
halo around the black holes and spiral arms
of matter and antimatter stars. The sun is one of the billions of
stars that is composed of matter; and there are a similar number of antimatter
stars. When antimatter from galactic dust or nearby stars enters our solar
system, the antimatter is called comets.
Today, there are over eight hundred comets, composed of antimatter, orbiting
the sun.
- The Periodic Table of Matter-AntiMatter Elements is similar to the existing Periodic Table except it has
twice as many elements. Each symbol
represent a matter and antimatter element. There are 218 elements:
109 matter plus 109 antimatter elements. Super-symmetry exist among
the matter and antimatter elements. The antimatter elements are named after their respective
matter elements and have very similar nuclear, physical, and chemical properties.
The superscript A
before the element or symbol indicates
that it is antimatter. For example, hydrogen & oxygen are
Ahydrogen
& Aoxygen
respectively.
- The Rosetta Stone translates information
and knowledge about matter
to
antimatter terminology. The superscripting system is expanded to objects. The superscript
A
before
an
object, element, or symbol means antimatter. Using the pervious example, hydrogen & oxygen combine to
produce water; or Ahydrogen
and Aoxygen
burn to produce Awater. You will
learn how to translate the book, CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics,
from matter to
antimatter.
The energy produced
from matter-antimatter annihilations is equal to
the mass times the square of the speed of light according to Albert Einstein, a German Physicist,
who received a Noble prize for his
Theory on Relativity in 1921. Numerous examples are
provided to help you understanding the enormous qualities of
energy that are produced.
How society understands the dangers and takes
advantage of the opportunities of antimatter to benefit
humanity is up to you.
