When you are traveling at or near the speed of light time slows down or even stops for you, so as far as the photons are concerned, distance is irrelevant by the photon's frame of reference.
I've taken to watching your videos pretty much every day. Some channels only cover the very basics and it's nice that channels like yours are able to go a little deeper. I'm impressed by the obvious depth of your research and the frequency with which new topics are covered. It is also nice that you don't go into the 'what if' and 'could be' unless there is a logical reason to pursue those directions. Very well done Anton; keep going. I'm a huge fan of long compilations too, so that's another plus here.
I really like that he makes things accessible, but doesn't treat us as infantile dunces who're on their first day online. It's nice to learn high scientific concepts in a way that the avg lay science enthusiast can enjoy it.
What Anton is referring to in the peak is known as the annihilation peak. It's a well-known effect in gamma ray spectroscopy. When a positron and electron annihilate, you get 2 511 keV gammas. This shows up as a peak in the vast majority of gamma ray spectroscopy. There is also an opposite reaction, that when two gamma rays above 511 keV interact, a positron and an electron can be created.
Do you all usually fit e.g. a GRB spectra to a regular power law? I would be surprised if the binning actually smoothed out significant emission lines, as opposed to them going mostly unnoticed as statistical noise because a power-law would fit what I imagine is just a big Compton scattering continuum to the letter otherwise. I'm in X-ray so I don't know what you Gamma-ray people do.
I suppose it's just a coincidence that when light leaves mass it blueshifts to gamma in the decreased density of space. the wavelength is 11 dimentions in scale of 10 waves per second the frequency is above 30 10s of 2 8s . all gamma rays come from charged mass and mass needs 8pi to create gravity in einsteins field equasion.
Somewhere out there, some aliens overloaded their anti-matter reactor :D reminds me of an episode of Stargate... "You destroyed three-quarters of a solar system!"... "Five-sixths, but it's not an exact science."

I suspect that this event's only genuinely unusual aspect is that the emission jet was oriented very closely to Earth. If the beam is only a degree or so wide, then what we have been seeing in previous observations is the faint emission from the rest of the star and not the center of the jet.
The gamma ray beam (jets usually refer to matter) is collimated (meaning it does not spread out as it travels) and is about the diameter of our solar system.¹ This is why it remains powerful during its 2B year trip. ¹Dr. Stan Woosley, Professor of Astrophysics, UC Santa Cruz.
@@douglaswilkinson5700How can it keep itself together? That's an insane amount of accurate aim for each particle. And as a quantum field phenomenon I don't even see how the uncertainty in position wouldn't grow.
Antimatter explosion wouldn’t necessarily involve a typical GRB beam. It might have been a spherical emission of a titanic matter / antimatter explosion. Or it could have been an antimatter object that caused a GRB in the typical process.
There's a reason why antimatter was used as a power source for warp cores in Star Trek and why it's been proposed as a potential energy source of the future; it's 100% efficient. E=MC2 taken to its absolute limits. The entire mass of two particles; one matter and the other antimatter; converted entirely into energy.
@Stray-3C03 The ability and engineering to collect and utilize pure radiant energy is beyond our comprehension now. Trek seems to utilize a 'dirty' annihilation, creating a plasma to flow past the warp coils causing them to react to the field effects of said flow. It's all in the WTF realm, like this universe-crossing blast.
I proposed antimatter asteroids for FRBs when i was in College. The scientists told me to finish my degree. Haha. Their conclusion was that my hypothesis was good but that the frequency of the observation would be a gamma ray instead of a radio wave.
First, antimatter asteroids cannot be formed in our universe; second, yes, radio wave is too weak to form asteroids, observation frequency should be gamma ray. However, gamma ray is pure energy, had nothing to do with antimatter, or necessarily related to antimatter. Your proposal is an anti-logical imagination or wild speculation, had nothing to do with science. The scientist may have some sense, Babur not able to correct you. Sad.
Could you imagine being an alien nearby that event browsing on your alien phone and seeing a light getting brighter and brighter? "Ah fuck lads this is gonna effect the group cha-" *dies*
Obviously aliens shooting each other with antimatter lasers across the universe! Or Sayans fighting the god of destruction for fun. Seriously, imagine such a powerful beam of antimatter energy hitting another star or a planet or a black hole? Holy crap that would be amazing.
You're a very good educator. I haven't had astronomy classes since undergrad, and understood everything. I will always secretly hope that this was some ancient alien war, but remain impartial.
I love watching every day, Anton! One question on this topic though: with the matter and antimatter annihilation, what keeps it in a beam rather than radiating out?
A co-worker and I used to quote this episode at each other quite regularly in the appropriate melodramatic impersonation. " I DON'T RECOGNIZE YOUR AUTHORITY TO RELIEVE ME!" was usually used to settle arguments.
Not really powered by matter-antimatter interaction, particles accelerated by the jets interact with gas, both in the collapsing star and ejecta from its giant phase at nearly C, which generates gamma radiation and pair production, which annihilates to produce the characteristic spectra of those particles annihilation.
This is all nice but this phenomenon happens all the time. We see it in fusion reactors and even when lightning crosses paths with deuterium. When beta positive decay happens a neutrino and a positron are released. When the positron touches an electron it annihilates and as a result gamma rays are formed.

We currently produce positions in particle accelerators. It shouldn't be much surprising that an event so powerful that creates gama-ray burst would also be creating positions from particle collisions, and whose annihilation with electrons would create a well defined blue shifted spike.

Man, mastering producing, handling and utilizing antimatter would be great. I assume that would outperform fusion for energy production (I think that’s a safe assumption like by orders of magnitude, right?) and may allow us to traverse at least the solar system in reasonable amounts of time. Thanks Anton!
What would have happened in our solar system and on earth if that explosion had occurred 2,500, or even 250, light-years away instead of 2.5 billion light years away?
You wouldn’t be asking this question, , there’s been at least one within a one to two kiloparsec (326,000-652,000 lightyears within the last 5 billion years that almost erased life on Earth , not from the burst but from the after effects ( UV radiation ~ cancer)
_Meanwhile, 2.5 billion lightyears away_ *Alien scientist:* Once I press this button, the antimatter power system will turn on, and we’ll have limitless free, clean and green energy! It’s foolproof!!
🔭 *Excellent GRB update, particularly in the sizable spike in brightness near 10 MeV.* This makes me wonder if we're seeing an excitation of something unanticipated around the 10 MeV energy level e.g. an interaction with some known or unknown matter and if this could indirectly lead to a new cosmological, physical or quantum discovery. It's very exciting when we find something unanticipated! _As always the content and delivery and superb; keep up the great work Mr. Petrov._ 🗝
I do not fully buy this explanation. This is an extraordinary claim and therefor requires extraordinary evidence (thank you, Carl Sagan). I do not see such evidence here making us sure that this could not have been something else.
@@vapormissile why should they need to have an alternative explanation ready to go just because they don't think there's enough evidence to support a given explanation?
Hello, wonderful Anton. A comment and a question. I watch your channel almost everyday and really enjoy the content and subject matter you feature. Given this GRB is the BOAT, would this (if the presumption is correct) the largest electron/positron annihilation so far recorded/seen?
The interesting thing about it isn't that it means things are very hot, it means they are cold! High temperatures broaden spectral peaks, and thermal pair production produces high temperature pairs. A narrow doppler shifted peak means that the jet is made up of electrons and positrons moving very fast, but not very hot. This means they were not created by a thermal process.
Anton's Ace in the Hole is the virtue of Humility. I love this humble observer of this material reality.

@@ReivecS Yes, creating them neesd energy. Yes, the question where the massive energy comes from was moved. So what? No one in the scientific article ever claimed that this solves any fundamental issue.

Would a theoretical “Death Star” be able to use something like this to destroy a planet? Or would it just heavily irradiate the target?
Yes
No. It might disrupt a planet’s atmosphere but it wouldn’t destroy a planet. Especially one with a strong magnetic field.
@@rolandthethompsongunner64 you're heavily mistaken about the effects of gravity due to the electromagnetic field. I'm not making judgement, just offering guidance to further understanding..
No, a realistic death star would be a giant particle accelerater. You could destroy a planet with a penny if you had one.
@@southsidedon9037 No you couldn’t. Even if you could propel a penny at say near light speed it would disintegrate on impact because it isn’t dense. You would need something made of a super dense material possibly like uranium or platinum. And even then it would have to be pretty large. Who is your science teacher?😂
Man, mastering producing, handling and utilizing antimatter would be great. I assume that would outperform fusion for energy production (I think that’s a safe assumption like by orders of magnitude, right?) and may allow us to traverse at least the solar system in reasonable amounts of time. Thanks Anton!
What would have happened in our solar system and on earth if that explosion had occurred 2,500, or even 250, light-years away instead of 2.5 billion light years away?
You wouldn’t be asking this question, , there’s been at least one within a one to two kiloparsec (326,000-652,000 lightyears within the last 5 billion years that almost erased life on Earth , not from the burst but from the after effects ( UV radiation ~ cancer)
🔥🌍🔥
@@lasarith2do you have a reference for that? And what (satellite) galaxy would that be from, given that distance doesn't seem it would be from ours.
Very interesting to know about this, thanks👍😊
_Meanwhile, 2.5 billion lightyears away_
*Alien scientist:* Once I press this button, the antimatter power system will turn on, and we’ll have limitless free, clean and green energy! It’s foolproof!!
🔭 *Excellent GRB update, particularly in the sizable spike in brightness near 10 MeV.* This makes me wonder if we're seeing an excitation of something unanticipated around the 10 MeV energy level e.g. an interaction with some known or unknown matter and if this could indirectly lead to a new cosmological, physical or quantum discovery. It's very exciting when we find something unanticipated! _As always the content and delivery and superb; keep up the great work Mr. Petrov._ 🗝
Someone tried to make a warp engine 2 billion years ago and failed.
Antimatter has always given me the creeps since Doctor Who's The Planet of Evil.
I do not fully buy this explanation. This is an extraordinary claim and therefor requires extraordinary evidence (thank you, Carl Sagan). I do not see such evidence here making us sure that this could not have been something else.
What do *you* think it was?
wait what about the linked articles/studies doesnt convince you?
what do you think it was and on what basis?
@@vapormissile aliens
@@ChrisValin-w6o you're gonna have to elaborate. Why should anyone think that?
@@vapormissile why should they need to have an alternative explanation ready to go just because they don't think there's enough evidence to support a given explanation?
Not being as squeaky is a good stat Anton.
Whenever something bursts people take notice. Ollapsing stars are no exception.
Thank you VERY much Anton- 📡 GREAT work 🔭⚛️
Anton is a cool dude. Love the video man
Hello, wonderful Anton. A comment and a question. I watch your channel almost everyday and really enjoy the content and subject matter you feature.
Given this GRB is the BOAT, would this (if the presumption is correct) the largest electron/positron annihilation so far recorded/seen?
Forget about it, I love this guy. 👍
Another impossible truth before breakfast. Way to go Anton!
Nice use of Antiloop for that outro
The interesting thing about it isn't that it means things are very hot, it means they are cold! High temperatures broaden spectral peaks, and thermal pair production produces high temperature pairs. A narrow doppler shifted peak means that the jet is made up of electrons and positrons moving very fast, but not very hot. This means they were not created by a thermal process.
Fascinating. Thank you.
It's absolutely mental that an event that happened 2,5 billion years ago and 2,5 billion light years away could affect us in the year 2022.
Thank you Anton!
Thanks!

Angry alien parent: Timmy, are you playing with antimatter gun again?
Fantastic! I ❤ your videos!
