Scientists create matter from nothing in groundbreaking experiment

We know that colliding two particles in empty space can sometimes cause additional particles to emerge. There are even theories that a strong enough electromagnetic field could create matter and antimatter out of nothing itself.

Big Think reports, in early 2022, a group of researchers created strong enough electric fields in their laboratory to level the unique properties of a material known as graphene.

With these fields, the researchers were able to enable the spontaneous creation of particle-antiparticle pairs from nothing at all. This proved that creating matter from nothing is indeed possible, a theory first proposed by Julian Schwinger, one of the founders of quantum field theory. And with that knowledge, we can hopefully better understand how the universe makes something from nothing.

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
You gotta have something if you wanna be with me
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
You gotta have something if you wanna be with me

I see your Billy Preston and raise you one Air Supply ("Making Love Out of Nothing at All"")

One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.

The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need You. We're at the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, we don't need you here anymore, you can go your way "

God listened very patiently and kindly to the man. After the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this? Let's say we have a man-making contest?"

To which the scientist replied, "Okay, great!"

But God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."

The scientist said, "Sure, no problem," and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.

God looked at him and said, "No, no! You go get your own dirt!"

So,they’ve managed to make their own dirt.🙄

Whoa, you don’t get something for nothing
You can’t have freedom for free
You won’t get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dream might be

No, you don’t get something for nothing
You can’t have freedom for free
You won’t get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dream might be

What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story

In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your song

Oh, you don’t get something for nothing
You can’t have freedom for free, no
Whoa, you don’t get something for nothing
You can’t have freedom for free, no

This chart of the particles and interactions details how the particles of the Standard Model interact according to the three fundamental forces that Quantum Field Theory describes. When gravity is added into the mix, we obtain the observable Universe that we see, with the laws, parameters, and constants that we know of governing it. Mysteries, such as dark matter and dark energy, still remain.

Actually a pretty good article at the original source:

For the first time, we've managed to create particles without any collisions or precursor particles at all: through strong electromagnetic fields and the Schwinger effect.

I was born with nothing. Still have most of it left.

[D Rider]

Not from nothing. From energy.

[AndyTheBear]

This “matter from nothing” crap is just so stupid its embarrassing.

[Nateman]

A Field is not nothing. It is a form of energy. You are actually turning energy into particles. In the reverse , that is turning particles into energy , you get nuclear power and nuclear bombs.

[Celtic Conservative]

Yes, but can they make love out of nothing at all?

[AndyTheBear]

Nope. They just claimed they did because their philosophy made them dumber than rocks.

[Celtic Conservative]

Damn, you beat me to it.

Billy Preston for the win! 🏅🏆🎖️🥇

There is a type of supernova that occurs from gamma rays at just the right energy. The gamma rays get converted into an electron and anti-electron pair. This robs the star of the heat it needs to keep gravity from collapsing it. It implodes creating a shockwave and a counter reaction that blows the star to little bits.

But can it turn lead into gold?

The engine of creation. One way to worship is to figure out what God has done.
