I am planning to do a proposal about capturing anti-matter and containing it by creating a trap with light. I figured I want to use light because if I use magnetic or electric fields then I would only be able to capture charged anti-particles. My goal is to capture anti-atoms by using a light...

Thanks a lot Everyone!

So matter does spontaneously turn into energy! What is the reason underlying that entropy increases over time?

Okay, to clear up what I mean. I am taking into consideration about the frame of reference this time. For example, I use a laboratory room on Earth as my reference frame. If an atom is cooled to a few millionths of a degree above 0 K in the laboratory, then can't we say that this atom is not...

Cool. So to calculate the first ionization for O2, would it be the same as the first ionization for O? I really don't think its that simple. There must be a different formula, right?

If I have O2, and I want to make it positively charged, don't I have to break the O2 bond and then ionize the two oxygen elements to get two positively charged Oxygen atoms? Is it possible to take away an electron from O2 and still have the O2 be bonded? It is not possible right?

Can you tunnel one nuclei with another? Would this take just as much energy as normal fusion reactors use today?

Thanks alot. Sorry for the long post.

When you say that I can only talk about the amount of movement through time vs. movement through space, do you mean that by saying otherwise is pointless? Because there is no absolute sense? Since no absolute sense exists then my question does not exist as well, am I interpreting your answer...

I was replying to tiny-tim when I was saying an object can not move infinitely fast.

I am not asking one person to answer my long set of questions. I was expecting one person to tackle one question at a time. And I was expecting different people to answer different parts of my questions. Now I realize, since the post is so long, I think people just don't want to read it.

So it seems real obvious to me at the moment that if quantum teleportation becomes common day, then one huge benefit is fusing two hydrogen nuclei by teleporting them at the same location, or very close to each other. Is this a correct assumption, or is this question completely lacking...

Can someone explain all the known paths a star can take from its birth to its death? This is what I know so far. Please correct me or add things where they need to be in the list 1) Hydrogen gas, clumps together by gravity. 2) Hydrogen atoms bump against each other and these collisions...

Why can't matter spontaneously turn into energy? What prevents this from happening? Energy is still conserved. Suppose we consider an atom as a system. The entropy of the system is very low. Now if the atom turned into energy, then the entropy would increase dramatically, is this correct...

Wait, How can you tell if something is at absolute rest? You can only tell if something is at rest relative to something else. There is no absolute frame of reference, that's what I learned in special relativity. Also, our solar system is revolving around our galaxy, and our galaxy is moving...
