boemAntimatter falls down, not up: CERN experiment confirms theory
I didn’t know antimatter was a completely confirmed thing.
Not only does it exist, but bananas give off a fair bit of antimatter due to their decaying potassium isotopes.
Allegedly, im not smart enough to verify it
plistigWould an anti-banana give off normal matter?
Does it matter?
taigamanI don't think it would antimatter
Argument anihilated!
AFAIK, yes.
There are some very small differences between matter and anti-matter, but I don’t think any of them affect radioactivity.
AFAIK, yes, you might wanna look into β± and β־-decay
ekZeppWe need a Far Side where ape scientists are colliding two bannanas at high speed
Bananas produce antimatter, but just barely. The main radioactive material in bananas is Potassium-40. A banana is about 0.358% potassium in all. About 0.012% of naturally occurring potassium is the radioactive Potassium-40. Only 0.001% of all radioactive decay events in postassium-40 produce an antiparticle (a positron).
An average banana produces a single positron about every 75 minutes.
Brb. Making a fruit-based matter-antimatter annihilation power plant.
You kid but as a kid when I learned about potatoes and lemon batteries I was like “SCALE THIS UP NOW!”
…if only…
That’s fucking awesome.
El psy kongroo
ChickenAndRiceThey say if you microwave bananas, you will get green gel bananas
^dont ^actually ^try ^that
