    So we're are in the realms of Anti-everything are we, good, good :lol:

     

    Baffling question Question;

     

    Why don't we see firework displays from annihilation of matter and anti-matter, due to this;

     

    If in an anti-matter universe everything is opposite why don't objects of immense anti mass, get repelled by the immense anti gravity of a tiny anti-object, and fly across the universe to our matter galaxy, only to be annihilated by the first matter they encounter?

     

     

    (Physics exam on tuesday)

    Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

     

    No, that is, first really confusing, and second of all, an anti-universe would be completely seperate from our universe!

    Well as you saw it lasted about an hour.

    I’m sorry for all of the technical difficulties we were having. Hopefully this won’t happen next time.

     

     

    I’m not sure, but we might have loss some or all of the session’s history. I know that I lost all of the history on the screen, so I don’t know who got what question correct and so on. Hopefully ddillard does, but I don’t think he has it all.

     

    But this was the first time - it was a learning experience for us all. Next time hopefully we won’t have any major problems. It is very possible that we might have lost all the history. If this is the case, then unfortunately I can’t give anyone the points that they earned during that session.

     

    However, I did enjoy myself. A few of you made comments that you really liked it and I did too.

    We will most definitely do it again!

    would this "exotic matter" hold it open indefinately or not long enough to do whatcha gotta do and come back?

    It could theoretically hold it open indefinently.

     

    "exotic matter", don't you mean dark matter?

    No, dark matter is different. I mean anti-gravity (or negative pressure like Master_Q said)

    ok, now i know im really gonna regret the headache i get from reading the answers to this,
    Don't worry, I always try to make my explanations as painless as possible.

     

    What, if any proof is there of actual wormholes, or is it all just theory? i am refering to reality not trek. or is it just a sci-fi thing. but as far as i recall there are actual theories and answers to this question. so master q and all you other brains, and anyone with ideas lets hear it thanks.
    Yes, wormholes are not confined to sci-fi at all. While there is no direct proof (experimental or observational) of wormholes, many theories show they could exist. A wormhole is bacially, well this diagram should show it better:

    time-travel-wormhole2.jpg

    It shows a wormhole between earth and sirius. In this wormhole the "space" is folded between earth and sirius to make it so earth and sirius are very close in the 4-D "hyperspace".

     

    The main problem with wormholes is that they don't like to stay open - they naturally would open really quickly and close almost immediately (way too quickly for a ship to travel through). To keep them open we need to use something called "exotic matter" (the only reason it is calld exotic is because we have no experimental or observational evidence that it exists and it is completely unlike anything we have ever seen) "exotic matter", unlike normal matter, gives off anti-gravity and so could be used to literally hold the wormhole open while ships would travel through. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.
