Antimatter & bananas

[msfenderarg]

I've seen that one a bunch of times....




I must have missed the science bits...

Hmmm.. Difficult. Will the one antimatter particle that stays in the banana be able to destroy a particle of potassium that still has to decay? If so... There will be more antimatter in the banana if the antimatter particles escape the banana, right?

Meh. Too hard.

I'm guessing EVERYTHING scares the sh!t outta you.
You're nothing but an asshat troll... Quit pushing your Left wing horse shit.

dude, he's talking about physics...what the frack is left wing about physics? As far as I can see, YOU'RE the one trolling here.

Haha. Yeah. He just couldn't handle not understanding.

 

[mgenet]

I have... But they still scare the crap outta' me!....

I still can't drink a banana milkshake due to vomiting one up in a moving vehicle as a lad. So, yeah, scary as heck!

Bad dreams of marching bananas attempting to place more potassium into your bio system. Night terrors abound...

This is where most of us would use humor but it is beyond a few people who haunt this forum. Their loss and our loss. Such is life.

Ouch, that hurts just thinking that I may want to think about it...

And I am proud of everybody for not using the usual banana as a phallic symbol comparison for snide and lewd and lascivious cheap laughs.

Not a whole atom just an electron... So the odds are it would just make calcium.

The positron would anilate an electron and the antinutrino hauls ass so no gain...

I don't know what he said but I like the way he said it. Thumbs up.

Off the subject, but isn't this like alchemy?

Can you bombard one element with electrons (or place it in proximity to a radioactive element) and watch it change from one element to another? By "another element" I mean only one that has a different number of electrons.

I failed chemistry and only know a tiny bit about physics so this may be a very stupid question

 

[Lampens]

This went completely by my head. I know the way potassium and natrium work inside a muscle cell to get it moving, the krebs cycle and atp's and all that kind of stuff. But this anti matter thing...

Actually I mis-spoke odds are you'd just get a potassum ion...

But yes it is a bit like alchemy... The added 2 new elements to the periodic table this week...

From ibtimes.com

"The two new elements have not been named, but are known as 114 and 116, and were discovered via atom-smasher experiments. The two were first detected in 2004 and 2006, but took years to confirm. The last element that was added to the periodic table was copernicium, in 2009.

The atom-smasher experiments are called "cross-bombardments" and were hosted at the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research in Russia, in cooperation with a U.S. team in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Berkeley, California. It consisted of smashing calcium together with plutonium to make 114, and calcium with curium for 116."

Time for some visuals. On your left is the physics of antimatter and...
on your right is your common household banana, contained, so as
not to cause a black hole.

This could get volatile. Keep your distance, please. Oh, and I am
sure that misspelling words won't make anything explode. Good
luck.

 

[mgenet]

I have to say that this has been a wholly (not holy) enjoyable romp. And we learned something too.

Dr Distortion has been the wonderful straight man, for the most part; and like, the straight man in a duo comedy team, should get paid more for his work than ones who get the laugh. Kudos.

I use humor because I don't understand. Deflection of a kinder sort.

Okay, serious stuff over. Back to the MLP Gibson Forum intelligentsia roundtable and general goof.

That's f'n great dude... Where the heck did you find the banana sheald!

What, you don't get them when you buy bananas?

Na man... I like to live on the edge...

Vat 19? Googled it. Couldn't believe it when I saw it. I never knew I could shield my banana.
(Yes, this could be an opening but please try to restrain yourself. Thank you.)

Resistance is futile.
