Matter/AntiMatter Asymmetry Calculations
Friday, December 14, 2001

Based upon resent experimental matter/antimatter asymmetry calculations, there is a billion (1,000,000,000) times more matter than antimatter. Using these calculations, our solar system should have 2x1018 metric tons of antimatter or over two million (2,000,000) antimatter comets the size of Halley's comet.

Plasma Cosmology predicted less antimatter in our solar system. The observed number of comets is significantly less than matter/antimatter asymmetry calculations.

Lets look at other detailed predictions:

a) The Plasma Universe consists half of matter and half of antimatter

Fits expectation from collision experiments. Absence of antimatter would in fact need an explanation. Both types of material are observationally the same, so we can't tell if a galaxy is made of matter or antimatter.

Electron/positron collisions could account for observed X-ray background radiation however.

A universe consisting of a mixture of both, under gravitational collapse can be shown to separate out the matter and antimatter, by electro-magnetic effects. This leads to solar system size structures, each of only one type of material.

b) Self-destruction of matter/antimatter due to collisions would be rare

At slow speeds, a collision between matter & antimatter objects would cause a Leidenfrost layer to form, forcing them apart again (the same principle as that causing fat droplets to keep moving over steam in a hot frying pan). Bouncing apart would increase collisions over time.

Matter encountering matter would merge creating ever larger structures. Similarly for antimatter, until galaxies/superclusters are formed.

c) A large-scale fast collision would give Hubble expansion

One kilo of matter/antimatter annihilation gives equivalent energy to a 20 megaton hydrogen bomb. A galaxy size collision will give the full Big Bang energy. Fast encounters would overcome the Leidenfrost resistance.

This large force would expel nearby matter, the fastest going furthest, thus giving the observed Hubble relationship (by Milne process).

The cosmic and x-ray backgrounds observed are consistent with this approach.

d) Galaxies can form in the required time by electromagnetic effects

Moving electromagnetic forces, being so much stronger than gravity, will concentrate matter far faster than gravity could (solenoid effect).

Laboratory experiments simulating small plasmas show the same varied forms as observed galaxies (spiral, bar, elliptical etc.).

Extrapolations to galactic size show required currents of around 10 Million Trillion amps and filament sizes of many light years (certain filaments can be proved capable of carrying arbitrary high currents).

Measurements of galactic magnetic filaments are consistent with currents flowing of these orders of magnitude and size. They cannot be explained by gravitational effects.

e) Supercluster threads are just electromagnetic conductors

When currents flow through a plasma, adjacent magnetic fields attract, pinching the plasma into twisted strings - ropes resembling galactic ribbons, just as observed.

f) Homogeneity of background radiation is due to electron scattering

High energy electrons spiraling on galactic magnetic filaments generate synchrotron radiation at microwave frequencies. They will absorb 2.73K directional radiation and re-radiate in random directions, giving the isotropy observed.

Photons would on average encounter such filaments once in a few million years, over billions of years this is easily enough to adequately give the observed smooth background.

Plasma is not transparent to radio waves, so strength should fall off with distance for radio galaxies, this is observed. Big Bang can't explain. This also means the cosmic background is generated locally, not by a distant in time and space 'Big Bang'.

g) Galactic synchrotron processes generate highly directed radio jets.

Quasars show just such features, no assumption of black holes is needed.

Measured speeds of stars near galactic center are less than 70km/s, much lower than gas speeds, approx. 1500km/s, disproving a black hole as cause.

h) Galactic spin (angular momentum) results from magnetic fields

Transfer of momentum from rotating magnetic fields to matter is a natural feature of the galactic simulations (electric motor effect).

i) Helium abundance results from an early generation of massive stars

Spiral arms rotating through plasma produce shock waves concentrating stars, these massive stars explode quickly as supernovae disrupting the shock wave and preventing further massive stars.

Model predicts almost any galaxy will produce 22% Helium, 1% Oxygen and 0.5% Carbon all in close agreement with observation.

Cosmic rays from these exploding stars, colliding with plasma, will produce the rare isotopes also observed, no big bang is needed.

j) Omega (Universe density) should be very much less than one

DeVaucoleur showed that cosmic density drops in proportion to square of size. Gravity at large scales is then so weak that General Relativity effects can be ignored, its predictions irrelevant.

Plasma filaments have restricted velocities; the predictions imply a size ratio between objects of one collision distance. This agrees with cosmic density and applies at all sizes from electron to supercluster.
