Cloud chamber photograph of the first positron ever observed. The thick horizontal line is a lead plate. The positron entered the cloud chamber in the lower left, was slowed down by the lead plane, and curved to the upper left. The curvature of the path is caused by an applied magnetic field that acts perpendicular to the image plane. The higher energy of the entering positron resulted in lower curvature of its path. Original caption: A 63 million volt positron (Hρ = 2.1×105 gauss-cm) passing through a 6 mm lead plate and emerging as a 23 million volt positron (Hρ = 7.5×104 gauss-cm). The length of this latter path is at least ten times greater than the possible length of a proton path of this curvature.
This does not ‘prove’ that antigravity does not exist.
It merely proves that antimatter doesn’t create it..............
“More crap based on existing theories.”
Or rather based on experimental evidence.
Get ahold of yourself. The experiment was designed to test whether of not antimatter atoms would fall up or down in earth’s gravity field. That is all the experiment attempts to demonstrate. It does not have to be accepted as dispositive or final, but it constitutes empirical EVIDENCE for the hypothesis under test. It actually ADDS to the net sum of human knowledge, unlike computer simulations, speculation and ignorant harping.
“The anti-hydrogen atoms and the hydrogen atoms, were not free to decide on their own, because, they were trapped in a magnetic field which left them with no choice(s).”
No, it only restricted their movement laterally. They were free to move up or down, and they all “chose” down.
GMTA.
Einstein was right. I just confirmed it.
By "cloud chamber photograph", is that a literal photograph (the capturing of light). Or is that a derived "image" like from an MRI (where the "I" in "MRI" stands for "image" but it's not a literally image made from light, it's a topography derived from detecting deviations in the magnetic field).
If it's a literal photograph that gives me a whole new perspective and respect for the accuracy of results from experiments like this.
Especially Bob Lazar!
Maybe they would, if any of them would consent to be interviewed.
Seems like your anti-matter would have to have negative mass for this to work.
“that would be antigravity and no one can prove it didn’t happen”
Except according to relativity, it doesn’t actually matter if you choose to view it that way, the results will still be the same.
That’s a real photograph. What you are seeing is not the actual positron itself, though, but a path of little bubbles that are released as a particle passes through the liquid.
“lateral movement might have indicated that, the anti-gravity existed towards the sides”
Then it wouldn’t be anti-gravity. Some other force perhaps, but not anti-gravity, since anti-gravity would show a repulsion opposite the center of all the mass in the local area (the center of the earth).
“you demonstrated that you can’t detect sarcasm”
When people in all seriousness post complete ignorance on science threads, it’s often impossible to detect sarcastic posts.
It’s a photograph of condensation caused by the passing positron.
It would be sort of like debating Flat Earthers: nigh impossible to tell which ones are trolling you or which ones actually believe it, because part of you is always thinking 'they can't REALLY be that stupid or ignorant, can they?'.
