Universe shouldn’t exist, CERN physicists conclude

https://cosmosmagazine.com/physics/universe-shouldn-t-exist-cern-physicists-conclude

A super-precise measurement shows proton and antiproton have identical magnetic properties, writes Cathal O’Connell.



One of the great mysteries of modern physics is why antimatter did not de...e universe at the beginning of time.

To explain it, physicists suppose there must be some difference between matter and antimatter – apart from electric charge. Whatever that difference is, it’s not in their magnetism, it seems.

Physicists at CERN in Switzerland have made the most precise measurement ever of the magnetic moment of an anti-proton – a number that measures how a particle reacts to magnetic force – and found it to be exactly the same as that of the proton but with opposite sign. The work is described in Nature.

...

The new measurement is precise to nine significant digits, the equivalent of measuring the circumference of the Earth to within a few centimeters, and 350 times more precise than any previous measurement.

“This result is the culmination of many years of continuous research and development, and the successful completion of one of the most difficult measurements ever performed in a Penning trap instrument,” says Ulmer.

Well it does so.... lol
We don't have the tools to measure such a thing. Hell we cant even figure out what happens in a black hole.

So much going on out there that defies the imagination.

I'm not really sure what to do with that. It's a fictional tv show, I was being silly to a silly response. I don't really subscribe to god of the gaps talks because in truth that isn't where my faith lies, in the gaps. I don't stand posed waiting to say "there's god" when something can't be explained, it's pointless. And this wasn't a declaration of a religious gesture. It was more a "nothing is yet written in stone" gesture with no concrete answers just guesses on all sides.

Anti-Lazarus
anti-Lazarus.


My question why didn't Kirk explode when he crossed over to the anti-matter universe? That's what supposed to happen, it bugged the heck out of me.

I'm dying to know what my podcast people have to say, but I do realize it's going to take a while with them. *grumble, grumble*

interesting article, but honestly i don't believe scientists know enough about the universe to be able to make this determination. excerpted from:https://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/what-is-dark-energy


More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the universe's expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery. But it is an important mystery. It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the universe. Come to think of it, maybe it shouldn't be called "normal" matter at all, since it is such a small fraction of the universe.

No truer words. And it seems the more questions answered, more mysteries show up. This Universe is a complicated business but it's fun.
