What's Happening With Antimatter at CERN? Scientists Are Stumped Again

One of the authors of this paper was my lecturer for plasma physics. He showed us the results towards the end of the lecture, around 3 hours before they were sent off to the journals :)

From looking at this setup, it's clear that it isn't like an atomic interferometer. It's designed to capture antimatter to take measurements. However, this setup looks like it can be run with regular matter too with the tops and bottoms set up to measure regular matter to see if the error ranges are similar. If they are, it would point to the method of measurement ( the hardware setup itself ) being a primary source of the range and would suggest moving towards an improved method of measuring.

I had heard about this paper already in an interview, but I didn't really understand that the weak force was different until this video so thanks

INTERESTING NOTE: When cancer patients go in for a "PET scan," they are leveraging the power of antimatter to help determine which cells are growing out of control so doctors can know where the cancer is progressing...and how fast. PET = Positron Emmission Tomography.

This use of antimatter technology is utterly fascinating to me. May such progress continue in the battle against cancer, that terrible disease that killed my beloved wife Sharon 5.5 years ago. Stay strong, all ye cancer patients and their caregivers!

This result was interesting. If we consider that the most mass of the proton is from the gluons, then we know that mass from energy (E=m*c²) falls "down". Then if the quarks themself would fall "up" we would see less than 1 G of gravity for the anti-hydrogen. The difference would be tiny, so a more precise experiment is needed to resolve this.

Angela Collier went over this, highly recommend hearing her physicist's take on the experiment.

Love that you covered the actual experiment setup

I don't pretend to understand half of what is said, but I really find your videos very interesting, I learn something new every time.

There’s an ‘Antimatter Factory’!?! That alone is very futuristic and cool.

I love how that experiment was done, nice walk trough! :D

is it the sophons?

I feel I do understand these concepts the way you explain them. I appreciate it.

Im hoping there is a mirror universe to ours made of antimatter where time runs backwards

It's my favourite explaination for the missing antimatter

We need anti oxygen to make anti water, imagine taking a sip and immediately bursting into light

Sweet. I would love to hear more discussion on this topic. Thanks for posting. God bless.

I have a phd in astrophysics, some decades ago, but never realized that antimatter behaves differently under the weak force. So i learned something new at the fundamental level. Also, it never ceases to amaze me how clever and intricate the experiments are. So, a very nice, captivating and educational video thanks so much.

Amazing world of antimatter. Please continue to post about this subject and maybe the eccentric Paul Dirac

I'd love to see some kind of collab between Astrum, PBS space time and SEA

Thanks for the hard work!! Keep it coming!

I feel more intelligenter now.
