Annihiliation.  The sum of anti matter and matter are photons.


so if you take some "nothing", and add energy (this is the photons you mention?) to split it into matter and antimatter, are you infact "creating matter"? i have always wondered how the laws of conservation of matter and the kraussian "nothing" interact with each other, I have heard that krauss' "something from nothing" is akin to "a fist made from nothing by moving fingers" but i do not have the tools to "fact check", due to my own ignorance of the topic.

Antimatter is just the opposite polarity, so as redundant as it sounds, antimatter is still matter, in the sense that it has the same mass as matter.

so "destruction" is not a quantifiable state? i'm a little confused as to how this relates to or explains my questions

if you are observing the earth at 99.99999999991% the speed of light.


even at 0% it can look flat, just need to be stupid enough.

if you can find a way to move 0% of the speed of light i would be impressed

Relative to my chair, the room, etc. I am moving at 0% the speed of light right now.

There is no speed without reference

that is a hefty claim, velocity is one of the requirements of time is it not?

Everything is moving, look at quantum mechanics
