A list of the seven most expensive substances on Earth.
I bet it gets you way high
From the velocity imparted by the explosion, yes
That’s not even buying it; you’re renting it by the nanosecond.
It’s a subscription model for the artificial stuff. The natural version is dirt cheap. It’s always the middle man with these modern services, I tell you.
Adobe Antimatter
Does antimatter have mass?
yes, its the same as normal, its just the “Spin of the particles that are opposite”, if you get down deeper, the quarks are opposite.
The reason why it’s called antimatter is because the polarity of the nucleus and electrons are reversed. There are also antineutrons that have a neutral charge. It all still has mass, but will obliterate upon contact with regular matter
There are also anti neutrons that have a neutral charge
Expanding onto this, it raises the question: how is a neutron different to an anti-neutron?
A neutron can be though of a particle composed of 2 down and 1 up quarks and lot of gluon’s that keep everything together. The gluon is its own antiparticle, so the antineutron has 2 anti-down quarks, 1 anti-up quarks and gluons. This way it becomes a different particle despite also being of neutral charge.
Yes
That’s a good question. Maybe it has antimass?
That was a hypothesis until just recently, where they measured it and found that it has regular mass.
Unfortunately not. Antimatter isn’t anti gravity.
It doesn’t, but if it did that’d explain why there isn’t much of it around.
Idiots, just fill a jar with matter and flip it over.
Genius, where can i invest in your company!?
This is why it’s so dangerous to go to Australia.
Planes have to stop at the equator so everyone can get their matter jars ready to switch before they convert naturally
Ackshually, the plane is the matter jar. It’s just super uncomfortable for the passengers if the pilot doesn’t get the maneuver just right in the air, so they land and do it there instead. Sometimes they’ll fly along the equator and do it slowly if they’re going across the Pacific, e.g. USA -> Australia, instead of USA -> Chile
Nearly as expensive as printer ink.
“Your printer has detected 3rd party antimatter. Please only refill with Genuine HP™ AntiMatter cartridges. Authorities have been notified and are enroute to your residence.”
Starts printing Anti-Authorities
Anti-Authorities save lives instead of take them.
Stop posting my wish fulfillment, it’s distracting. 😂
nah, they’ll just let you print antimatter ink on matter paper, and then claim that the explosion was your fault for counterfeiting
I didn’t even know we could get a gram of anti-matter, cause don’t they make it proton by proton, and they also don’t exist for that long?
Given the technology to create and store antimatter in quantities exceeding a handful of atoms doesn’t exist, it’s a bit ridiculous to extrapolate a price per gram for it.
Atoms are made-up by Big Small so they can sell you more less!
Ooh! You card read good!
Per mole?
Does it even have mass like that?
Edit: should have just kept scrolling https://sopuli.xyz/comment/15894538
Shouldn’t it cost -$60 trillion?
New infinite money glitch unlocked!
a handful of atoms would be a lot of atoms!
That’s so stupid: You can make antimatter at home for tree fiddy. Just buy a bunch of bananas and wait for the potassium to decay into positrons. EZ
Tree fid- WAIT THIS AINT NO SCIENCE MAN ITS THE GOD DAMN LOCH NESS MONSTER
This leads to a modified version of the uncertainty principle: either you have a banana and can know the size of something or you have positrons and are unable to measure size.
With a gram of antimatter, you can probably blow a city-sized crater into Earth, so yes, 60 trillion seems like a fair price.
Edit: oh, it’s only 21 kilotons. The stuff is overpriced. :)
I could snort 5 grams in one weekend, so yeah, overpriced.
My Lord, the commoners mustn’t see you so
Ah, that’s why we haven’t used it in weapons yet.
I figured because any amount of usedul antimatter annihilateing causes gamma rays that cook the planet, but $60T makes it a bit more prohibitive
Yeah, I usually only buy a couple of grams at a time.
That’s just the price to get it.
The burn rate of storing it would be similarly astronomical, but reoccurring, cost.
And I can’t even imagine the cost of transporting it
I thought element 118 was like $60 quadrillion a gram because they only manged to make like 3 atoms of it.
. . .
Another problem that be fixed with scale.
Really more of an anti-substance, ain’t it?
Just wait until we start having it manufactured in a cheap labor market. The prices will plummet! It’ll likely be mostly fake, but that’s the price we pay for cheap antimatter.
I thought it was HP inkjet printer cartridges? I think that’s around $60 trillion per gram, isn’t it?
Antimatter is metal?
By itself no, but you could form metals from antimatter.
Typically when people refer to antimatter they’re talking about anti-hydrogen. Theoretically you can have any anti-element, as far as I know
