Particles Destroy Each other on Contact
The seemingly inescapable fact that matter and antimatter particles destroy each other on contact has long puzzled physicists wondering how life, the universe or anything else can exist at all. But new results from a particle accelerator experiment suggest that matter does seem to win in the end.
The experiment has shown a small — but significant — 1 percent difference between the amount of matter and antimatter produced, which could hint at how our matter-dominated existence came about.
The current theory, known as the Standard Model of particle physics, has predicted some violation of matter-antimatter symmetry, but not enough to explain how our universe arose consisting mostly of matter with barely a trace of antimatter.
If only all oil spills were this sexy
“The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is growing worse by the day and the only solutions BP have must have been brainstormed by a distinguished group of stoned college students. While we’re certainly not qualified to offer any valid solutions, we do think there’s a silver lining to this global disaster. It’s an awesome excuse for us to feature smoking hot babes dripping in baby oil. If you thought you were all hot and bothered by the oil spill before, just want until you check out these photos.”
