Off-topic stuff…

April 22 is earth day, a good day to show off EVs, but! In a lot of media earth is often referred to as Terra, making the 22nd Terra day scout is now required to show something awesome of the Terra. You’re welcome! It’s also my birthday and the only reason I had this shower thought

Any off the beaten path justification to see new scout pics

Physicists Just Took Subatomic Antimatter Particles on a Joy Ride

Can Subatomic Antimatter Particles Survive a Joy Ride? Physicists Just Tried to Find Out

To test if antimatter can be safely transported, a team of scientists loaded antiprotons into a specially prepared truck.

Fascinating and terrifying and I still don’t fully understand

Some math...

A single proton-antiproton reaction will release approximately 3e-10 Joules or 8e-17 kWh of energy.
The put 92 antiprotons in the truck.
If they had all reacted with matter, they would have released 2.7e-8 Joules of energy.

A 100 watt solar panel exposed to full sun for one second will generate 100 Joules.

The 92 antiprotons, if they had all reacted, could have released about 3 ten-billionths of the energy a 100 watt solar panel can produce in one second.

One kg of antiprotons, though?
That would have about 6e26 antiprotons. That would release about 2e17 Joules, or about the same energy the largest nuclear bomb ever exploded (the USSR’s Tsar Bomba) released.

I have no idea what in the world you are talking about.

It was in response to @J Alynn’s “terrifying” comment.
Nothing to fear here. Many other things far worse to fear.

Yup-and I imagine it flies around in the tornado the same as an F-150

That thing looks like a hydrofoil! They could probably run it in reverse and suck it to the ground! LOL

I don't think the humanoids possess that quantity of antiprotons (thankfully), or we might be looking at the possibility of someone turning our planet into a wormhole.

Nothing even close.
