SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 42The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastUnraveling Antimatter Mysteries, New Techniques to Detect Dark Matter, and Insights into the Spectrum Rocket FailureIn this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into groundbreaking discoveries at the Large Hadron Collider, where physicists have identified a significant difference in the decay behaviors of ordinary matter and antimatter. This finding could provide vital clues to understanding why our universe is dominated by matter despite the Big Bang's creation of equal amounts of both. We explore the implications of these results and how they align with the Standard Model of particle physics.Innovative Approaches to Dark Matter DetectionNext, we discuss an innovative new technique developed by researchers at the University of Queensland to detect dark matter using atomic clocks and cavity-stabilized lasers. This cutting-edge approach aims to uncover the elusive nature of dark matter, which constitutes about 80% of the universe yet remains largely a mystery. We examine how this method could lead to new insights into the distribution and properties of dark matter.Spectrum Rocket Launch Failure InvestigationAdditionally, we analyze the recent failure of the Spectrum rocket during its inaugural launch from Norway. Investigators are looking into the causes of the incident, which involved thrust vectoring oscillations leading to the rocket's loss of control. We discuss potential technical issues and what this means for future European orbital launches.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 42 for broadcast on 7 April 202500:49 Discovery of decay differences between matter and antimatter06:30 Implications for understanding the universe's matter dominance12:15 New techniques for detecting dark matter18:00 Using atomic clocks for dark matter research22:45 Analysis of the Spectrum rocket failure27:00 Summary of recent scientific developments30:15 Science report: Southern Ocean warming impactswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

It is the most expensive substance in the world by a wide margin. When it was first proposed, it was actually proposed in jest. However, decades later, the joke turned out to have been true.  It is a fundamental part of the universe, and by all accounts, it should be everywhere, yet it can't be found anywhere, and physicists aren't really sure why.  Learn more about antimatter, how it was discovered, and what it is on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 153*The Mysterious Origins of Martian MineralsA new study suggests that some Martian minerals may have formed in liquid carbon dioxide rather than water. While traditional views link Mars' dry river channels to past water presence, this research indicates that under ancient Martian conditions, liquid CO2 could have been a significant factor in shaping the planet's geological features. This finding, published in Nature Geoscience, adds a new layer to the ongoing debate about Mars' liquid past and its implications for the planet's habitability.*Australia's Arnhem Space Centre ShutteredEquatorial Launch Australia has announced the closure of the Arnhem Space Centre due to unresolved lease issues with the Northern Land Council. Originally envisioned as a hub for commercial space launches, the project faced multiple delays over land agreements. Plans are now underway to relocate operations to Queensland, aiming to establish the Australian Space Centre, Geberic which promises significant economic benefits and indigenous employment opportunities.*Discovery of the Heaviest Antimatter ParticlePhysicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have identified what could be the heaviest antimatter particle ever detected. Using the ALICE experiment, researchers observed anti-hyperhelium 4, an exotic hypernucleus. This discovery provides new insights into the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe, as scientists continue to explore the mysteries of the Big Bang and the universe's evolution.00:00 Some Martian minerals may have been formed in liquid carbon dioxide rather than water06:01 Scientists find evidence for what appears to be the most massive antimatter particle ever detected13:15 Move of time projection chamber into ALICE detector starts very slowly15:22 The TPC is our main tracking detector for heavy ion collisions20:21 Living in an agricultural community with high pesticide use may increase cancer risk22:50 Former CNN reporter Tucker Carlson claims he was attacked by a demon while sleepingwww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

How can something be in two places at once–or connected across time and space? How can a cat be alive and dead at the same time? Quantum physics helps explain many mysteries of the universe–and maybe a few parallel universes. Can it also help explain puzzling unexplained phenomena too? Explaining everything from the basics to the latest theories and from practical applications to the future might hold, Charles Liu, PhD, makes quantum physics and its impact on us, the world, and the universe entertaining and easy to grasp, answering the most frequently asked and most fascinating questions about quantum physics.

With her ascent of New Base Line, Siara Fabi joined the world elite of women climbing 8B+. A huge achievement for someone who started climbing at 21 and who works full time in cutting edge science. Antimatter, anyone?

The heaviest antimatter nucleus to date was spotted in a particle accelerator. It could provide new insights into the nature of matter. And, research indicates different songbird species might intentionally travel together during migration, giving each other a possible boost in survival.Physicists Create Heaviest Antimatter Nucleus YetAntimatter is one of science's great mysteries. It is produced all around us for fractions of a second, until it collides with matter, and the particles annihilate one another. But what is it?Antimatter is just like matter, except for one thing. Its particles have the same mass as ordinary matter, but an opposite charge. For example, an electron has a negative charge, so an anti-electron—called a positron—weighs the same, but has a positive charge.Antimatter is a natural product of some types of radioactive decay and cosmic ray collisions, but it can also be made in particle colliders here on Earth. But making antimatter particles this way is difficult and expensive—let alone controlling them enough to create an entire anti-atom. NASA estimates that creating a gram of antimatter would cost about $62.5 trillion.But why does antimatter matter? It may hold the key to understanding one of the universe's biggest mysteries: why there's something rather than nothing. Cosmologists say that during the Big Bang, matter and antimatter should have been created in equal amounts. But everything around us today is mostly matter, meaning either that there was an excess of matter created, or that matter and antimatter don't quite follow the rules physicists expect.Recently, scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider spotted 16 instances of the heaviest exotic antimatter nucleus observed to date: antihyperhydrogen-4.To explore what this breakthrough means for antimatter research, SciFri producer Charles Bergquist talks to Dr. Jamie Dunlop, associate department chair for nuclear physics at Brookhaven National Laboratory.Different Bird Species May Team Up For MigrationThis season, billions of birds will take to the skies as they flock to their wintering grounds. With so many different species on the move, they're bound to run into each other. A new study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that this mixing and mingling might not be coincidental.In fact, different bird species could have their own social networks that might boost each others' survival.SciFri producer Kathleen Davis talks with lead author Dr. Joely DeSimone, migration ecologist at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Appalachian Laboratory, about untangling avian relationships.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

According to DS9 episode "Past Tense", the Bell Riots took place from 1 to 3 September 2024. Fandom is marking the occasion with, um, homelessness cosplay; we decided to repost our discussion of that two-parter from 2021. Instead of dressing up as homeless people and doing riot LARP, this is a good time to support your local homelessness organisations and vote against politicians whose policies dehumanise and further marginalise the vulnerable. ----more---- Anika and Liz sit down to discuss DS9's “Past Tense”. It's one of those episodes where we go, “This is really good!” and then talk about its problems for an hour. Everyone knows “Past Tense” is a great two-parter, but what our theory presupposes is … maybe it's deeply flawed? But seriously, “This is a great episode” is the beginning, not the end, of the conversation The great man theory of fake history The neoliberalism of DS9 Anika's big Reagan rant finally makes it through editing into an episode! Empathy versus apathy This is a really bad episode for Liz to have a total mental blank around the word “complicit” (don't worry, the long pauses are edited out) The outstanding costume and set design It's the episode where we go, “Has this just aged, like, really badly?”

In one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of her work to date, Museum Tinguely in Basel (Switzerland) presents a survey ...

Die Kritik an der kapitalistischen Warenproduktion zieht sich durch das Werk der argentinischen Künstlerin Mika Rottenberg. Das Museum Tinguely in Basel widmet ihr bis Anfang November nun eine der umfassendsten Ausstellungen und gibt so einen Überblick über ihr künstlerisches Schaffen. Zur Ausstellung gehören vor allem Videoinstallationen, aber auch ein großer Brunnen im Park vor dem Museum.

Hosted by Steve Nerlich. What can the anti-matter be? Dear Cheap Astronomy – How much antimatter is there and will it eventually annihilate? Antimatter is generally found in subatomic particle form – so there's antiprotons and anti- electrons, which can rarely come to together to form an antihydrogen atom. But that's about it, an anti-helium nucleus has been created in a laboratory but neither it nor any other more complex anti-nuclei have been observed in nature.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – How fast could we get to Alpha Centauri with current technologies? If we calculate the trip duration based on speeds achievable with current technology, a mission to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system to ours, would take over 6,000 years. But even that is wildly optimistic when you consider the mass you need to accelerate up to those speeds.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Join Hugh Ross and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, including the reality of God's existence. Crust Thickness and Life A team of five geophysicists demonstrated that the level of oxides in basalt primary melts are a good proxy for the thickness of Earth's crust. They then supervised a machine-learning algorithm to analyze global geodatabases (e.g., EarthChem and GEOROC) of basalts to determine the variation of the thickness of Earth's crust spanning the past 3.8 billion years. Their analysis revealed five features of Earth's crust that led to supercontinent cycles and plate tectonics that are highly fine-tuned for complex life on Earth. Antimatter Feels Gravity When Einstein first published his general theory of relativity, scientists did not even know about antimatter—which was discovered almost 15 years later. Since then, scientists have speculated about how antimatter behaves in gravitational fields. Most think that it behaves just like normal matter. However, gravity's weakness compared to electromagnetic forces has prevented any direct test to see if antimatter falls like normal matter. Recently, the ALPHA collaboration was able to isolate enough atoms of antihydrogen (antimatter counterpart of hydrogen) to demonstrate that the atoms behave like normal hydrogen atoms in a gravitational field. This result demonstrates two things. First, it provides even more evidence for the constancy of the laws of physics. Second, it shows that scientists are willing, able, and driven to test fundamental parts of theories rather than simply accept them without data.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Silent Planet over Zoom video!Every once in a while, wildflowers will sprout en masse in the middle of the California desert. Known as a “SUPERBLOOM,”this phenomenon paints lush colors across a traditionally arid and barren landscape. The emergence and evolution of Silent Planet mirrors this phenomenon. Since 2009, the California quartet—Garrett Russell [vocals, guitar], Mitchell Stark [guitar], Alex Camerena [drums], and Nick Pocock [bass]—have set themselves apart in the realm of heavy music. Amplifying hypnotic hooks across alternately raw and rich soundscapes steeped in hardcore, post-rock, metal, and ambient textures, the award-winning group has generated tens of millions of streams and earned tastemaker praise. Now, the musicians tell a story as massive as their sound on their aptly titled fifth full-length offering, SUPERBLOOM [Solid State Records].Silent Planet has consistently transfixed a diehard fanbase. The group dropped a string of acclaimed albums, including The Night God Slept [2014], Everything Was Sound [2016], When The End Began [2018], and Iridescent [2021]—which Hysteria hailed as “a vulnerable and emotional LP.” Not to mention, album standout “Trilogy” generated 5.3 million Spotify streams to sit alongside their genre-bending triumph “Panic Room” from the 2016 release, currently at 5 million. The guys notably took home “Best Underground Band” at the 2017 Alternative Press Music Awards and toured with the likes of Motionless In White, August Burns Red, Beartooth, and The Contortionist.Over the course of two years, they recorded what would become SUPERBLOOM in Woodland Hills, CA alongside longtime producer and frequent collaborator Daniel Braunstein. A jarring turn of events split the process into two seasons. Trekking through a Wyoming snowstorm in November 2022, Silent Planet survived a vehicle accident. The van flipped over, leaving the group laying in the wreckage of a bitter Wyoming snowstorm as Garrett was hospitalized with a fractured back and head wound requiring stitches.Along the way, they settled on a conceptual framework, expanding the scope of their vision like never before.Silent Planet initially teased the record with “:Signal:” followed by “Antimatter.” On the latter, spacey electronic transmissions buzz. Pivoting on a dime, it dissolves into a stomping industrial groove offset by synth swells.“It's the conclusion of the story we're telling,” he says. “This is the finale. There are different levels of a close encounter. It's a close encounter of the fifth kind. It's the destination of the music.”In the end, Silent Planet continues to elevate and uplift heavy music to another dimension.We want to hear from you!

Fictional starships notwithstanding, there's not much antimatter in the universe. And for us, that's a good thing. Any time matter and antimatter meet, they cancel each other out in a blaze of energy. Antimatter is identical to normal matter in almost every way. The only difference is electric charge, which is opposite for the two forms of matter. So there could be a whole galaxy made of antimatter out there and our telescopes wouldn't see it any differently from a galaxy of normal matter. Most theories say the Big Bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter. But in the first tiny fraction of a second, something changed that balance. For every billion pairs of matter and antimatter particles, there was one extra particle of matter. One of the first scientists to consider that imbalance was Andrei Sakharov. He'd helped develop the Soviet hydrogen bomb, but turned away from weapons work. In a paper published more than 50 years ago, he outlined conditions that could create the imbalance. Sakharov said that protons must decay, but so slowly that it's almost impossible to detect. Second, he said that the universe must have cooled in a certain way in the moments after the Big Bang. And finally, he said there must be some difference between matter and antimatter. So far, none of those conditions has been confirmed, so the subject of matter versus antimatter remains a busy topic of research.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

A banana is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and many other goodies. It's also a source of antimatter. That's because a banana contains a tiny amount of a radioactive form of potassium. As it decays, it produces positrons, the antimatter counterpart of electrons. They're no threat, though — there just aren't enough of them. Particles of antimatter have the opposite electric charge from normal matter. An electron, for example, has a negative charge, while a positron has a positive charge. When matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other, producing pure energy. Antimatter is rare, but there is some. A tiny fraction of the cosmic rays that strike Earth's atmosphere, for example, consists of positrons and antiprotons. There's also evidence that positrons are produced in thunderstorms. Antimatter is also produced by the decay of radioactive elements, like the potassium in bananas. Antimatter from these reactions is used in PET scans. And research suggests that antimatter could someday be used to treat tumors. Of course, the most famous use of antimatter is fictional — a power source for starships. And it would be the most efficient power source around. The problem, though, is that the stuff is pricey: it would cost trillions of dollars to make a single gram. So we're not likely to go warping around the galaxy in starships powered by antimatter anytime soon. More about antimatter tomorrow.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory
