SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the theoretical relationship between positrons, anti-protons, and inertia within matter. The original poster speculates that altering the frequency and radius of these particles in a hydrogen atom could impact its existence. However, several participants challenge this notion, emphasizing that elementary particles like protons and positrons are considered point-like and cannot have their radii changed. The conversation highlights a lack of understanding regarding the fundamental properties of these particles and their roles in physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of particle physics, specifically positrons and anti-protons.
  • Knowledge of atomic structure, particularly hydrogen atoms.
  • Familiarity with concepts of inertia and mass in physics.
  • Basic grasp of electrostatic waves and their effects on particles.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and behaviors of positrons and anti-protons in particle physics.
  • Study the principles of inertia and its relationship with mass and gravity.
  • Learn about electrostatic waves and their applications in atomic physics.
  • Explore the current understanding of elementary particles and their characteristics.
USEFUL FOR

Students and enthusiasts of particle physics, physicists exploring atomic interactions, and anyone interested in the fundamental forces of nature and their implications on matter.

So, I was recently think about something. Don't ask me how I thought of this, but positrons and anti-protons were on my mind all day and I thought of something. I thought about inertia. I thought about it and the more and more I did I figured that there must be something within matter that makes inertia occur (this is kinda a theory I have so bare with me). So I was thinking that maybe it is the positrons and anti-protons within matter that make inertia occur.

So maybe if we ran electro-static waves through, let's say a Hydrogen atom to change the frequency, which also changes the radius and oscillations of the protons and anti-protons, and electrons and positrons. If you could somehow alter the radius of the positron and anti-proton so that they have the same radius, and make them collide and destroy themselves would the hydrogen atom still exist or would this somehow do something to the atom to which we don't know what would happen, or do we have no clue whatsoever. What would happen to an atom if there were no anti-whatever particles?

Inertia has to do with mass and gravity..

"So maybe if we ran electro-static waves through, let's say a Hydrogen atom to change the frequency"

What is a electrostatic wave?
Frequency of what? And how, and why?

Where did the anti-protons come from? And the positrons?

Why do you have to change the radius of the positron and antiproton to make them "collide" ? And you can't change the radii of particles just like that. The proton has its radius, which is a concequence of the color force. And elementary particles (leptons and quarks) are pointlike, they have no size... (as we know of today).

I mean, there is neither logic or physics in your reasoning. Sorry, but this is crap.
