Facts about the anti pope

It is a misconception that the antipope is an opposing force to the pope that will annihilate both should they ever touch. Rather it is the small appetizer such as a bishop or cardinal that you eat before devouring a pope.

Can you draw the antimatter variants of hydrogen and helium? Scientists have made them. And could they meet their normals?

I have drawn all of that before, check the #antimatter tag on this blog!

This made me realise drawing the two actually meeting their counterparts in a lab would be cool though, so here you go

I'm pretty sure an antipope is just a popes antimatter equivalent

That has really interesting implications for the antichrist

The world's most massive science experiment has done it again, detecting hints of the heaviest antimatter particle ever found. This means the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator ever built, has given scientists a glimpse into conditions that existed when the universe was less than a second old. The antimatter particle is the partner of a massive matter particle called hyperhelium-4, and its discovery could help scientists tackle the mystery of why regular matter came to dominate the universe, despite the fact that matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts at the dawn of time.

A Galactic Cloud of Antimatter - May 1st, 1997.

"The center of our Milky Way galaxy is full of surprises. A spectacular one was a mysterious cloud, glowing in gamma rays, produced by annihilating antimatter particles! Star Trek fans are all too familiar with the consequences of mixing matter (electrons) and antimatter (positrons) - the particles catastrophically annihilate, converting their masses to energy according to Einstein's famous equation. Positron/electron annihilation energy is emitted as gamma rays with photon energies of 511,000 electron volts. Searching for these high-energy photons, the OSSE instrument onboard NASA's orbiting Compton Gamma Ray Observatory had produced this map of the Galactic Center (GC) region. As anticipated, it showed annihilation gamma rays as a bright spot at the GC, with fainter horizontal emission from the galactic plane. Astoundingly, it also revealed a large and unexpected cloud of annihilation radiation, probably about 4,000 light-years across, extending nearly 3,500 light-years above the GC. What could have created this cloud? Associated with no previously known object, it seemed to imply that a fountain of antimatter positrons streams from the GC. More present guesses about the source of the positrons include the violent and exotic environments surrounding starbirth, neutron star collisions, and black holes at the GC."

[Antimatter's] most celebrated property is its pyrotechnic ability to destroy matter in a flash of light, converting the stuff that we are made of into pure energy. [ . . . ] Antiparticles are generally considered to be exotic, made only in experiments in high-energy accelerators and somehow 'not of this world.' Yet antimatter is real and its...mirroring of matter is the nearest thing we know to perfect symmetry. Indeed the first glimpse of the antiworld came not from an experiment, a chance discovery, but from the beautiful patterns that English mathematician Paul Dirac saw in his equations. As crotchets, minims, and semiquavers on a stave are mere symbols until interpreted by a maestro and transformed into a sublime melody, so can arid equations miraculously reveal harmony in nature.

Hello Mr.? Facts, can you explain what dark matter and antimatter are?

If you step in it on a sidewalk, it's "dark matter." If you scrape it off and gets on the stick, that part is not considered "antimatter."

Antihydrogen but realer

Though antimatter is often seen as something otherworldly, it is expected to have exactly the same properties (and by extension appearance) as its corresponding ordinary matter. If you could isolate antihydrogen in a perfect vacuum (or an antimatter environment), it would behave exactly like regular hydrogen.

This Antihydrogen has an anticollar since they're man-made; antihydrogen doesn't occur naturally and probably only did in the first moments of the early universe, in the form of antiprotons which were quickly annihilated by ordinary protons. Producing even this simple antielement is rather difficult, let alone heavier ones, so it's going to be a while before they get any more antimatter friends.

here's an Antihelium too. with their cute lil antisun antiballoon

Alright my essay on the physics of Storm Bringer is done… for a certain interpretation of done. I wanted to get it to the people who actually want to read it since it’s not just for me, but I’m not totally happy with it and I didn’t cover everything I wanted to. I may post a continuation of it at some point but I’m not sure when, and it will likely not be in essay format.

Anyway here it is:

How much antimatter is needed to destroy Earth

⚛️ What if the most powerful force in the universe isn’t a nuclear bomb—but antimatter? The Hiroshima atomic bomb released about 63 terajoules of energy. But just 1 gram of antimatter could release 180 terajoules—over 3 times more powerful. 😱

This isn’t sci-fi. It's real, and scientists at CERN are already creating and studying antimatter today.

But how does it work? Why doesn’t the universe have more of it? And the big question: Could antimatter actually destroy Earth?

This article explains everything in simple words—perfect for science lovers and curious minds.

📖 Plus: We’ve included a top-rated antimatter book if you want to explore even deeper.

TLDR: Not explicitly stated as canon, but a scientific hypothesis given several hours of thought. Despite being of antimatter, which explodes immediately upon contact with matter (anything that takes space and can be measured, like air, skin, fabric, food, water. Basically all organism essentials), Koro-sensei doesn't immediately explode upon air exposure, changing clothes, poking students with tentacles, etc. because the outer layers of his internal and external organs have an electromagnetic barrier that protects the antimatter from exposure to matter. The barrier is ironically powered by none other than the antimatter.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not an expert. Please correct me if I'm wrong: I literally just skimmed through my sister's physics study guide as soon as I saw the words "antimatter" and "explode" and then I jumped down the physics rabbit hole for a few hours to justify and explain the connection to Koro-sensei. So I'm definitely not an authority figure or anything.

Here's a teeny ramble about antimatter and Koro-sensei! I found out antimatter explodes when it comes into contact with matter. Specifically, I encountered a physics problem, and the answer showed that if an astronaut landed and touched an antimatter planet, both the astronaut and an EQUAL amount of antimatter would be annihilated (although the surrounding antimatter area of the planet would be heavily damaged from the explosion).

But the point is this: 30.6kg of human matter comes into contact with 5.9722x10^24 kg (that's earth's mass) of antimatter planet. 30.6kg of human matter + 30.6kg of antimatter planet is annihilated, leaving ZERO TRACE. They cancel each other out. The remains might be uninhabitable and invisible to the human eye, but it's still there.

What if it was reversed? 30.6kg of antimatter human (I calculated it, it's not a guess) comes into contact with the planet earth. 30.6kg of Earth will be annihilated, leaving no trace. There will still be at least SOME trace of the area outside of the radius, although it will most likely be uninhabitable and likely too tiny to be visible.

Now think: Koro-sensei, an antimatter being, constantly comes into contact with matter. AIR is matter (yes, I checked)! So one breath, and he should've exploded before episode 1. How has he not exploded? There must be an invisible barrier separating the matter from antimatter. I did brief research on antimatter storage and couldn't grasp most of it, but what I did somewhat grasp is this quote from Ruichen Zhang: "Antimatter shouldn't contact any matter while it is stored. This would be done by using the property of spin magnetic moment, which antimatter has. Using magnetic and electric fields, a force is applied to the antimatter, which directs it away from any matter" (Zhang).

So boom. Basically, an electromagnetic field serves as a barrier between matter and antimatter, and the latter is what fuels it. I researched the epidermis of octopi, which is the most sensical place for the barrier to be if it exists, considering Koro-sensei can interact safely with matter objects with his tentacles, especially the matter present in his clothes that come into direct bodily contact with him.

So I labelled a diagram of an octopus' skin layers to explain it. But it's not just his skin: his tongue is immune to anti-sensei material, which is made to destroy antimatter only, and he breathes without blowing up the earth via contact between his lungs and oxygen (oxygen is matter), so at the very least, the outer layers of all of his internal organs can't be made of antimatter.
