\"\"The CERN in Geneva is leading when it comes to
\nresearch of anti-matter. With the LHC the largest
\nhadron collider in the world has been built. But to
\nget anti-matter better analyzed, it needs more.<\/p>\n

One thing is: How do you transport anti-matter from A to B where it can be analyzed? As we know, Anti-matter must not get in touch with matter as the result is instant disintegration of pure energy.<\/p>\n

It is said that 500mg of this anti-matter (not sure how many anti-matter particles this is though!) would suffice to release a blast of the strength of the Fat Man bomb that devastated Nagasaki.<\/p>\n

The goal is to transport 1 billion anti-matter parts over a distance of few hundred meters. For this movement a specially designed container\/trap measuring 70cm in length is necessary.<\/p>\n

Also the vacuum inside that tube must be even “cleaner” than in the LHC itself. So the complete containment where the anti-matter particles are transported will be that tube inside a huge supra-conducting magnet.<\/p>\n

It’s obvious that the transportation unit will be so large that you’ll need to use a heavy-load-rig to move it around. Enough said, I guess.<\/p>\n

Although the immense amount of work needed to transport 1 billion anti-matter particles seem scaring yet, the other question is, how much energy would be released if these 1 billion anti-matter particles hit normal matter? The answer is sort of sobering: It would equal to the power needed to lift an apple. So those who thought, the end of the world scenario has arrived… forget it! The production of anti-matter seems yet very time-consuming and the yielded amounts are far from being able to destruct mother Earth in any way (luckily!)<\/p>\n

The effort in transporting anti-matter might be a step to improve research of alternative acceleration technologies (i.e. for space thrusting).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
