Is the expansion of the universe phenomenon considered a force or what? Basically I'm wondering how the mechanism of the expansion of the universe is represented in the standard model or any models of physics.
tabchouri - no disrespect - I don't think there's much purpose behind answering the question as literally as you're interpreting it. I think that in order to purposefully answer a question like that - it requires a bit of imagination. The answer to the question you're describing has a simple and...
Gamma rays are high energy photons - not protons.
Your first year university student was correct. Most antimatter particles were discovered in particle accelerators (http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch/livefromcern/antimatter/ ). Obviously you cannot accelerate particles to the speed of light - but...
What if the matter that made up your body was annihilated by antimatter? I believe that would be a way to instantly turn your matter into light - as gamma rays are emitted when that happens.
ok, ok... so, it's copying - and there's a primordial difference. I have a question then. How big of a difference is that? Is it significant - and how would you even measure that?
Also, someone said earlier that "you" can travel at the speed of light if you dove into the sun. Is that a correct...
I never said the original should be killed.
Anyway, my point was not to illustrate a scenario where matter could be accelerated to the speed of light. It was rather an illustration of a manner where you could travel at the speed of light. It would merely be your information - not your physical...
