“antimatter bullet” is THE most sci fi thing I have ever heard of
No, it could not
@areyouundoingthat orwhat? true
@Galaxyz ツif you think that’s easy to make then go and show those scientists how it’s done
@SotaVeturi that wasn't the point 🤦
@Koko Tree History has proven that when it comes to weapons advancement,never say never! Nothing pushes the progress of technology like mankind's desire for possessing a military 'edge' over his enemy..Besides look at some of the stuff we have now that was unheard of just 20 years ago,given the current state of gadgetry available just to the civilian world and seeing what private corporations are doing with robotics etc. You can only imagine some of the scary shit being developed behind closed doors with seemingly unlimited resources.
**Scientist trips carrying a gram of anti-matter**
“What was that?”
“Switzerland I think.”
Can someone explain this
@Hyper Endgame Ah yes, how did I not get this smh
@S V what
@Jeevanops It means that Switzerland got destroyed by the one gram of antimatter.
This deserves more likes
I love how humanity’s first thought is to weaponize it.
@AlphaWolfTen ! do you realize that if we use antimatter with present-day tech there is a very high chance it would be super dangerous
@R0ya1tyClan. and the amount of people who asked is 0.
@That Egyptian Guy wtf
Humanity is just trying to defend humanity from humanity
The bullet would interact with the air and annihilate. You would have to put the antimatter into some kind of capsule that would crush on impact.
@My name is not jeff • 35 years ago yeah
@AndrewWithEase11 11 you're* clearly not one.
To store antimatter we would have to create an artificial vacuum like space in a container that somehow keeps the antimatter floating at the center
@Status VA
That’s what Vaccum means.
But holding the anti-protons and positrons are problematic.
Yes sir
Just use a vacuum sealer… duh
Spin and vacuum chamber
Rick Harrison: 3 dollars and I'm taking a massive risk here.
Small market
Hahahaha
Can I call me friend real quick.... r"ick you've found the rarest most expensive thing ever"... Im thinking 500 bucks
I think I found who joe was
Damn I had no idea antimatter was actually confirmed to exist.
RLL: “Cocaine is $300 per gram”
*This man aint been round the corner before has he?*
It's like 50 bucks over here lol
what the fuck are these replies

Villager: I give you 3 Books for one Antimatter.
1*
bad deal
If that Were true if theres antimatter in minecraft and only way to get this for 3 books for 1 gram nope not doing it. If I were you id prob code the game to give me a lifetime supply of antimatter for what cost hmm let me think lets see ohh have about one dirt and a 99999999% chance of a villager trying to trade you with this and if for example in different biomes with a small chance of dirt supply i would prob code it to what ever block it is in the biome you walk in for ex desert instead of one dirt its one sand
Me: *creative* *drops it on the ground*
Me: talks to girl
Girl: *runs away*
Me: You know, I guess I am something of a *Anti Matter* myself
nah you're not rich enough for the girl If you have antimatter
hellll yeah
its the opposite and bro did you even watcch
I’ll like since ur desperate
Imagine in another galaxy or universe it’s the same exact video as this just about our regular matter
Okay so a few things need to be clarified, to store it is actually easier in theory than in practice, but it still is relatively easy we just need currenting vacum (vacum that changes density), to produce it faster is actually the HARDER thing not the easier like the guy said in the video, we somehow need to get far better in changing electron and proton sizes after that we pretty much did it, you just reverse matter (they are doing that rifht now, but they need to find matter of the correct size) and adjust the size, as for how we use the anti matter is actually easier, you make a container of aerogel (really low density) and hold the anti matter inside. (Inside is clear vacum of course) Thats for transporting it while for using it you need to just crush a even a slightest bit of the container. Boom thats it, but we do not have the techonology to make currenting vacum and we cant change size of anything nor any scientist is trying to develop such a machine (not that its possible with our current knowledge and techonology). If you have any questions you can ask me, I am more than willing to explain anything I said.
Didn't read + ratio
ok
1:58 - how would that ever happen? Surely the antimatter would react with the air, or the bullet material, far before it reaches target.
Wait, if the closest star to earth is 4 and change light years away, how would and antimatter-fueled rocket going at 50% the speed of light get there in two years? Wouldn't that make it an eight year travel time?
yes its a mistake
Another error. "It would actually take around 9 years to reach the nearest other star to Earth at 50% the speed of light,"
Only if you instantly started at 50% of the speed of light and didn't stop.
You can only accelerate halfway and then decelerate. Everybody keeps forgetting this. And if a manned flight you can at most accelerate a little over 1G or be might uncomfortable.
Recalculate your time.
At a constant 1G acceleration and 1G Deceleration, if the trip is merely to the nearest star, with deceleration the last half of the way, it would take 3.6 years ship time.
Sometimes I would like to think there’s an anti-me in a different universe just enjoying his life too
@🇺🇲The United States of America Don’t type too fast lol
@Ghullie lol he would be atttracted tio him isntantly and blow uyupt ehe city hes in lol
Just don't shake his hand if you ever meet
he would look the same and act the same nothing diffrent living his life and the antiamtter wouldb e called amtter and the opposite names would be the naems we know rn its kinda weird
So, there could be a galaxy out there similar to us, but everything is the opposite there including law of physics
Traveling at 50% the speed of light would get you two the nearest star in 8 years, not two. That would be traveling at 2x the speed of light, considering its four light years away.

@theconman Whoever says that shouldn't be on the internet.
@The unknown dude wow very funny (sarcasm)
Or mrbeast giving an explosion almost the size of the tsar bomba to random people
the nearest star is alpha centauri which is roughly 4,3 lightyears away. which means it takes light moving at lightspeed 4 years to reach it so if we moved at 50% lightspeed it would take us 8 years not 2
If your going 50% the speed of light it would take roughly 8.5 years to get to the closest star, not just over 2 years like it stated in the video

@Garfield your
*It‘s amazing to think what great and exciting things people will be doing with PC’s in 30 years*
what the hell happened here
😂 actually it's $62.5 trillion
Closest star would be roughly 8 years at 50% light speed.
How could going at 50% the speed of light take us to the nearest star in just 2 years? I am just wondering because I think that the nearest star to earth is proximus centari which is 4.24 light years away, so wouldn't going 50% the speed of light take us their in 8.48 years
There is an enormous difference between Worth and Cost.
Yeah, it might cost $25 billion dollars, but it sure wouldn't be worth that amount!
Hard to make does not equal high value!
wouldn’t the antimatter just come into contact with the air and explode before you could do anything with it?
The nearest star from Earth (other than our sun) - Proxima Centauri is 4 light-years away, so it would take 8 years for a spaceship travelling at 50% the speed of light to reach that star, not 2.
c*
description says:
"There is a math error at 2:35 in this video. It would actually take around 9 years to reach the nearest other star to Earth at 50% the speed of light, not 2. Please ignore what I say there in this video :)"
wow a legitimate rhetoric on youtube comments. this is an anticomment.
1OkiePackRat
Actually you are correct if the spaceship was travelling at light speed it would appear to take no time for the person in the spaceship to reach the speed of light. For 50% C I used a time dilation calculator and found time would move at 87% the rate of time on Earth, so it would take roughly 6.96 years to reach the star, still not 2. Also the point still stands that 8 years would pass for anyone on Earth.
Good point tho.
Ballivares O
Yeah will do :)
2:30 "50% near the speed of light, it is fast enough the reach the nearest star in just 2 years" The closest star is Proxima Centauri, which is roughly 8 light years away. Thus 50% speed of light will be a travel time of 8 years instead of 2.
@Prabs o wow messed up on A grade math
50% the speed of light to a star 8 light years away will take 16 years ( half of the time light would take)
At about 2:30 he said that if we use antimatter as fuel, we could get to 50% of the speed of light. Then said that would get us to the closest start in a little over two years. In other videos, he tells us Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years from Earth. If we are traveling at 50% the speed of light, that would take 8.4 years and not a little over 2. Right?
Nevermind...I just saw the correction in the description

Imagine you just bought an Anti Mater and your are flexing that to your friends and you accediently dropped it.
You wouldn't be able to hold it let alone drop it since just holding it would delete you from existence.
@Jintana Rawdsukumaal IMAGINE
me : *runs faster than a speed of light
also this comment is exaggerated since we wouldn't even have enough money to buy anti-matter

@Oreki An annihilation between 1g of matter and 1g of antimatter would produce 2(8.988*10^13) Joules or around 178 Terajoules which is equivalent to 40 million tons of TNT according to mass-energy equivalence.
So yes, you would be able to see it.
@vssxv.s I agree
Ur equal to 25000billion elon musks
@Marrca35 not if i have immunity to cancer
@Drifting 101 does it matter though?
Imagine if an anti-matter galaxy and matter galaxy collide like people predict the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy will
2:32 correction: it would take ~8.5 years to reach the closest star at 50% of the speed of light. The closest star is ~4.25 light years away.
it's a bit late for this but whatever haha
What if one day in the far future, we use up all the mater from using antimater?
There is a lot of mater in the universe though.
We should try to produce antimater more efficiently or find good sources. It would be hard but the reward is great.
I can see Man inventing a way to make this with ease in the next 300 years.
A lot of people are asking this, so I feel the need to address it. In the video, he states the current prices for the listed drugs. People are saying these facts are wrong, but they are, in fact, correct. The value of a drug can often vary, and is determined by its purity, especially with the drugs made in a lab that were mentioned. The drugs that are found on the street often only contain a small content of the drug themselves and things such as baby powder are often added to increase the quantity. This does, however, decrease the potency of the drug and allow for it to be sold at lower prices. When these drugs are bought, you expect to be getting a large quantity, when, in fact, you are only getting a small amount, bulked out with additives.
Well yeah that sounds nice, the same concept isnt applied to Heroin. A g of pure heroin would be way more than 200 dollars, unless you live in Afghanistan or something.
Oh so you are a dealer
You know a bit to much

Alien: dude I wish we could just find some matter already there’s just so so so much antimatter that it’s not even funny anymore!
Alien: dude you are so right
The nearest star is 4 ly away. Wouldnt that mean traveling 50% the speed of light, it would take 8 years to get there?
Check the description
And the rest slowing down and getting to that speed
The closest star is 4.2 light years away, so going 50% the speed of light would take over 8 years, not 2
Wait, how would the antibullet work, though? You can’t have an antimatter atom touch matter, so how would that work?
wouldn't it be 8.6 years to reach proxima centauri since it's 50% light speed?
edit: ok you mentioned it in the description.
2:30 I think you're wrong, the nearest star is 4 lightyears away, so I'd take 8 years
Wait, but if antimatter and matter touch, they create an explosion, right? So does air itself count as matter, making it just instantly explode?
Legend says... there is a galaxy, made of anti-matter, far far away that is desperately trying to get hold of regular matter 😅
Tahmid Khondkar 800th like
oof
Tahmid Khondkar
meanwhile in a parallel universe
maybe there once was a war between matter and antimatter, somehow the matter has won 🤷♂️
**Antimatter comes in contact with matter**
Antimatter: *Guess I’ll Die*
uh oh, 50% of the speed of light would make us reach the closest star in 8 years
2:30 How does that work?
1: the closest star to the earth is the sun
2: the second closest star to the earth is about 4 light years away, meaning it would take 4 years at light speed to reach it
If antimatter can propel a craft at 50% the speed of light, and the nearest star is 4 light years away, wouldn't it take 8 years to get there? Your video (at around 2:35) says it would only take 2 years.
"yo how much for a g?"

@bushido791 yeah
But Would An Explosion From A Gram Of Antimatter Be Visible From Space?
Wow even more than the moon base that’s pretty impressive
If contacting any normal matter would make it release energy, wouldn't anything touching the anti-matter make it explode, including air?
Imagine being teleported to a parallel universe where it’s made of anti matter
When you buy your girlfriend an antimatter ring and she stills leaves you
You mean it explode on her finger and she physically left you cos she’s dead?
Bruh
@Vincent Macapuro no shed explode if she throws the ring
Then you just learned that you cant buy love and should have know better.
She left you to heaven beo
You put the anti matter in a room with no air and use magnets to suspend it.
Imagine a GAU-8 Avenger firing for some seconds lots of Anti-Matter bullets.
I think that we could destroy an entire part of the Earth.
Anti matter can be used for spaceships
Actually thats called warp drive
Imagine some aliens watching this video - marvelling how primitive humanity must to struggle with such trivial matter as antimatter containment and recoiling from revulsion at all that talk about bullets and bombs.
You wouldn't need to drop antimatter on the gound, since it would be already touching the air. It's safe only in a 100% pure vacuum.
Vacuum + Magnetic Field this is all ready known..
As long as the vaccuuum is perfect enough to have only such an extremely small amount of particles that collisions won't have a noticeable effect. And that has to be a very very good vaccuuum.
consider that energy is never lost or gained and only transfered, and that all fundamental particles are made of quarks
+case cao its good of you to be diligent in your principles, but this is quantum/quirk interaction and is not destructipn regardless
destruction implies vanishing, but this is transferring the mass into the form of energy which does not destroy it, simply transform it
Yes, first rule of thermodynamics, matter itself cannot be created nor destroyed, but to us its like a mega explosion. It doesn't matter either way.
Jeff bezos: buys antimatter
Jeff Bezos: finally got this antimatter even tho it costed a lot
Jeff: *drops it*
Jeff: well shit 😕
*dies in the matter of a second from the explosion which allows his employees to finally get they're bathroom break
2:29. Anti matter could propulse rocket to 50% of the speed of light. Which is fast enough to reach the closest star to earth in just over 2 years.
Fact: the closest star to earth is proxima centuri at 4.25 light years.
Do your calculation...
Never trust what you see or heard.
2:19 did no one notice that he told that we can reach the nearest star in about 2 years while traveling at 50%the speed of light? Light takes about 4.3 years to reach proxima centauri😕
@Phantom lol it would take about 8.6 years at half the speed of light :)
I didn't notice until you mentioned it, but you're right.
That’s cool.. and hypothetically, where might someone find a gram of this stuff?
Imagine people from the future watching this video thinking that a gram of anti matter cost so much before
2:30 the nearest star alpha Centauri is 4.3 light years away. So it would take almost 9 years to gat there at 50% speed of light not 2 years.
But wouldnt you need to carry the antimatter in a vacuum so that it doesnt come in contact with the air and explode?
We would not reach the nearest star in 2 years, with lightspeed we would reach it in 4 so with only 50% of the speed we would reach it in 8 years
I'm wondering how much time would be required for CERN to create an entire Toyota Corolla made of antimatter.
I'm sure they would build a reliable economical one.
Good luck with the stamping presses.
Where’s John Titor
Gamer605 aye. Be nice to the Corolla . 😂
well it depends, are we talking about the 86 corollas (is it even a corolla?) or the newest one?
exotic matter: look at what they have to do to mimic a fraction of my power
What about stable anti-matter? If you have something harder than diamond is it considered anti-matter?
So if it takes light 4 years to reach the nearest star to us why would it take a spaceship around 2 years to reach that same star while traveling at 50% the speed of light?
Imagine a galaxy made of anti-matter with a version of this video but it says matter instead of anti-matter
2:23 If you are going 50% light speed it depends on which observer, with how long it takes. For us on earth it would be way more than two years, it would be eight years (if the speed of the ship was constant). But it's not (obviously) and you have to take into account the acceleration and deceleration times. It would be more like sixteen years instead of eight (relative to earth observers, that is). From the ships observers it would be way less time.
At 50% the speed of light time dilation makes the trip seem 86.6% as long, so still be way longer than 2 years, 6.928 years for the constant speed trip and even longer for the trip with acceleration deceleration time. I think he must have multiplied the 4 light year distance by 50% instead of divided.
2:25 it would take 2 years to get to the closet star other than our sun if we could go 50% the speed of light? Alpha Centauri is the closest star system and closest planetary system to Earth's Solar System at 4.37 light-years. 4 x 2 = 8 years, not 2 years.
So in science class I learned that there’s approx 250 grams of antimatter in a gas giant.. watch out Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune..
I’m gonna leak out their antimatter and use it to make a Death Star laser,
I mean hey, it’s 2020, wouldn’t you expect it?
Officer: Hands up! 🔫
Me: sir you see, I have 10 kg of anti matter in my hand
Officer: so what?
Me: let me show you something *destroys the moon*
Officer: how?!?!
Me: that was just 2kg
3:53 I don't care if creating 1 gram of antimatter will billions of years, I want to know why Switzerland is trying??!!!!
Antimatter: I’m the most expensive element ever!
Element 118: Hold my beer.
Isn’t it oggasenion or something
Most stupidest comparison !! Antimatter isn't only for one element it for all elements !!!
Element 115: am I a joke to u?
2:31
Don’t you mean 8 years? Half the speed (of light), double the time.
My man making us go 2x the speed of light.
I see there was a miscalculation in this video.
Proxima centauri is the nearest star to earth disregarding the sun and the distance between earth and P. centauri is 4ly. If you are traveling at half the speed of light, you multiply the amount of time by 2. I see that you mistakenly divided the time by 2.
In reality, it would of taken ~8 years to travel from Earth to Proxima Centauri.
2:34 is actually 4.492 years since it is half the speed of light not double...
How to store antimatter: make a container of antimatter that could hold antimatter without making antimatter collide with non antimatter so antimatter won’t delete itself and so antimatter stored.
“Tiny amounts of Antimatter are created in the atmosphere, in high temperatures”
states near the equator: *we are worth billions....*
the nearest star to earth takes 4 years to reach at the speed of light never mind 2 years at 50 percent
2:38 you said 50% light speed and going to nearest star would take 2 years, but its not 2 its 8. Nearest star is 4 l y away.
Wait wait wait, the newest star to earth is 4 light years away, and if we travel and 50% the speed of light, we will get there in 8 years...
I saw some antimatter on ebay for $19.99 a gram. But it comes from china, not Switzerland
MECHANICROBO humanity has only produced 14 nanograms
*MADE IN CHINA*
MrBoriqua2000 lol me too😁
Damn it ... 😂😂😂😂
Oh
I love how they are like: OMG it is sosoooosoo expensive
While I am here with the most expensive horses which are NOT mine😂
something a lot of people don't realize is that air is made of matter, so you know, that'd be a problem when it comes to anti matter
Nearest star to earth is 4 light years, So at 50% lightspeed how do you come up with two years? Perhaps you’re counting the time on the ship not the time measured from an observer on earth?
* carries around 1 ton of antimatter *
*_PROCEEDS TO DROP IT_*
Scientist: Drops glass of anti-matter...
Other scientists: “Oh shi-
True
@xoddamPro r/woooooooosh
the anti matter will already react in a glass because glass is made of matter, unless its made of antimatter and held by a magnetic machine
yeah like im scared about that like when a scientist is depressed and has that in hes hands and he drops it we all die so fuck?
@ponk gers 7 months ago lol
It's a bit like my uncle. He invented a fluid that could burn through anything. He's now waiting for someone else to invent something to put it in!😂
Imagine if we created one ton of anti matter... I think the Milky Way would be destroyed
What about just making it levitate in a box while controlled by strong magnetic forces on all sides keeping it to the centre
air inside the box
also antimatter isn't a metal
It will take far more than 2 years to travel to nearest star to earth that is Alpha Centauri . It's 4.3 light years away from earth. So at 50% of light it will take 8.6 - 8.7 years , not " just a little over 2 years ".
Well, the most expensive element i own is a gram of gold 😅😟
How does one pay for something that can't come into contact with regular matter? How do you even _get_ a gram of it?
Sci-Fi buffs, help me.
