Detecting ANTIMATTER in food - DIY Gamma spectroscopy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2024
- It may seem strange, but everything you've ever eaten contained a tiny amount of antimatter. In this video we explore how it's produced, what happens to it, and how we can detect it. We build a gamma ray spectrometer and use it to detect the antimatter in common materials.

That sodium crystal you used still had a "Made in Soviet Union" label on it. Wow.
I wonder how much old Soviet lab equipment is being sold around nowadays.
Quite a lot actually, the best vacuum tubes for tube amplifiers are ones that were made in the USSR.😁

This is one of the few channels that genuinely impresses me every time. Sometimes youtube feels like "depth, breadth, intrigue(..ing...ness), pick two" and somehow you managed to work around that. I love it.
I eat antimatter for breakfast. Good to know I'm a badass.
You already contain antimatter, you were always tough
uhhh..........
why
Lol
I went for a PET scan once, and asked the technician how it worked. He was talking about matter-antimatter annihilation as I slid into this huge machine.
17:24 Next time:
1.) Wrap the T-Tape first layer around the cylinder circumferentially to cover the sides of the cylinder.
2.) Then, put one circumferential layer of double sided tape partway down over the top of the first layer.
3.) Add the layers to cover the end plane of the cylinder, the double sided tape will hold the ends of the radial end layer.
4.) Easy-Peasy.
Or buy larger sheet of teflon instead of plumbers tape ; )
I literally just gave an exam about basic nuclear and subnuclear physics... This didn't teach me anything and i'm happy about it
... I mean, the video was nice and i'm happy having seen this, it's just the feeling you get when your many hours of study show that you really have learned how things works

So hypothetically, can we have positronics?
What are the implications on EM waves..?

Antimatter is really boring, it's just normal matter but racist.
Yes, if there’s anti-protons, there will be anti-waves
@@switchamafuck78 but are there anti-antis?
They would make some math easier. Back before we knew what particles had what charges, we guessed "the charge carriers are positive"... Yea, we were wrong, and it makes some equations a bit less intuitive.
β− decay of potassium-40 to calcium-40 also produces antimatter: electron antineutrinos
But good luck detecting that.
They tried, i think in Japan or China. It looks amazing
10:21 and that is the scientific terminology for wrapping bicron in tape
I should have watched this before eating that banana
Rip
Bananas are great and nobody can change that for me, make homemade banana milk by just putting banana and milk in a blender, it's fuckin great.
I am saying fuck it and making banana bread.
In fact, here's a recipe:125 grams all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
114 grams salted butter (softened)
101 grams white sugar
110 grams dark brown sugar
150 grams mashed bananas
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
125 grams chopped walnuts
Add all the shit together and bake for about an hour to 70 minutes, ovens vary.
your body already contains radioactive potassium. It is one of the main sources of radiation you are inevitably exposed too. potassium is a vital nutrient for many cellular and neurologic functions.

This is why I love this channel & keep coming back because he actually explains everything he does in the video and it's actually educational unlike other channels. Plus the thought Emporium is always educating us with random things lol thanks love ur channel
with every video you prove, that you are one of the best science channels on youtube!
11:00 "Hey do you have the cord for this thing? It needs a special cable called 'Safe High Voltage'".
"Oh yeah don't worry, I got a cheap one from China"
A gamma ray camera would be really neat! Assigning the power spectrum to the color spectrum and then arranging the detections correctly would be tricky, but doable. It'd kinda be like an IR camera but way more extreme. I look forward to it!
There is a lack of positive comments here.
Dude, just so you know it - thanks! I really love your videos and by now your projects are pretty much on the same level as Applied Science's. I mean the fact that you guys work together shows that.
Keep it going, im binging your videos as soon as they come out no matter what.
i came from your 2016 videos about breaking down the plastics... so curious about it
Holy shit just when I thought you did something just too cool you do something even cooler
Loved this video, would be kind of scary if you didn't know how small the amount of emitted antimatter was. Question, when are you gonna revisit NOAA and Meteor? I'm in the process of trying to capture and decode Meteor and am having some issues.
Amazing home physics, terrific that such work is feasible at reasonable cost for an individual
All of your content is so next level.
for some reason antiup and antidown made me laugh so hard i almost pissed my pants
Couldn't you make a water-tight, self-contained setup and toss the device and its connected source into the deep end of a pool to get a better reading?
If I am not mistaken, 13.8 feet of water should block most forms of radiation including gamma rays, so if we can talk the city pool into letting us do it, we should be able to have a pretty well shield set up.
Now, just to water seal the instruments...
Just the few 10 seconds in the beginning was enough to make me like the video.
Love your amazing brain man 😎
Also killer video again of course .I feel your channel is under rated. 👍🏻👍🏾
Excellent presentation as always! Just as a FYI, the "Bicron" is really generically called a plastic scintillator. Bicron, now part of Saint Gobain was a crystal manufacturer who had plastic scintillators as part of their line, but plastic scintillators (e.g. NE-xxx where NE stood for Nuclear Enterprises) were common before Bicron came into existence.
Is that the Steve sesselmann from Australia that's got a fusion reactor in his garage
Awesome seeing more of the spectroscopy work with not overly detailed physics math. Very clearly simply explained. Surprised you didn't do a more frugal cost effective detailed build of the... well... I guess two basic devices from scratch. Lots of great projects for sure though keeps you busy thinking. Thanks for sharing!
I heard it all and it felt like an hour of content,my brain is buzzing and it put me in a state of meditation and almost sleep.
do a video on supersymmetry, how many variations of these fundamental particles are there, i heard of selectrons, spositrons, sleptons, etc etc
These names are getting ridiculous
So they really getting slept on?

Wow amazing timing on this short, I just did this experiment *last monday* for my radiation detection lab and got to see the the 511 peak off of Cobalt 60 pair production!
Using the double slit experiment for a thought experiment. Could we use electrons to switch quantum charges?
What do you mean ? What experiment would you like to do ?
I don't think the double slit experiment has anything to do with particle's quantum properties like charge or spin.
Just the analysis of scattering. Not sure if compton scattering is applicable here. But lets say we find the super symmetry of an electron can we then use bosons to alter its charge by changing its mass orbital or what its orbiting what ever its axis is. To somehow swap charges. Way out of my skill but im thinking if we can somehow change the charge to positive we could make heavier anti elements maybe.. Or a battery that was charged with negative and positive electron positrons.. Again im just having a thought experiment
i love the AvE stickers

This was such a cool video!! I wish I had a garage to be able to set up an experiment lab like this!!
I'm the head of a radiochemistry lab in Australia where we have 9 HPGe Gamma spectrometers. When I went for the job interview there a while back, the at the time lead physicist went over the different counting systems and showed me one of the typical gamma spectrums. I was amazed to see a 511 keV peak so clearly, as it is in effect, indirectly measuring the existence of antimatter. Even with no samples in the detectors we always see a clear 511 keV peaks in the background due to single photon escape events from the surrounding castle material. Even thought I see them every day, the idea behind what we're actually measuring is still so cool to me.
Everybody is asking what antimatter is, but nobody is asking how antimatter is
I'll do you one better: *why* antimatter is!
Man, I sure am not tired of this joke after seeing it for the hundredth time
@The Thought Emporium: Hello! I wanted to make a suggestion for investigation, given the current CV crisis, and ask that you take a look at sterilization of surfaces with UV light. There are a lot of grossly inaccurate marketing campaigns on amazon and ebay advertising UV bulbs. Among the ridiculous claims, for example, are bulbs with a specified wavelength of "UV Light", that UV in the above ~200 nm band produces microbe-killing ozone (sources I find say it doesn't), and in some particularly bad cases that black-light spectrum bulbs are "germicidal". Can you take a dive into this topic?
agreed. it should be investigated
"(sources I find say it doesn't)"
You have sourcves that say that UV is not capable of breaking the Bond in O2, thus letting O3 be formed? Please let me see that.
O2 is photolyzed by light of 241 nm (or lower), since it has a bond energy of 498 kJ/mol. Any quartz UV-Lamp will do that and you will smell that.
Clip loaded with knowledge, sweet as always.

That "Horrible diagram" sticker on the laptop is perfection.
@Deborah Ajao I do mean optical illusion. I was confusing the sticker with another drawing that had a bunch of intentional flaws that you would progressively notice the more you stared at it

Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Shouldn’t that be “E^2 = (mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2”?
Imagine eating a banana and your whole body turns inside out and explode with the power of a negative mass.
antimatter has mass though
EDIT: negative mass would be exotic matter
I work in a lab designing and building ion mobility spectrometers. That wire that you used to connect SHV to BNC has a special name in our lab - a universally dangerous wire. Because the SHV connector is rated for much higher voltages than BNC, so you can easily hook the wire up to a power supply for beyond the BNC's rating, and get yourself into trouble. Gave me a chuckle to see you using one.
You are a mad scientist and people think I am lying when I refrence videos.

Hey Thought Emporium -- just for the record, electrical tape is way less opaque than you may think (at least less so than I thought.) Glad there were additional layers on your detectors!
Awesome video, as always!
Yes, for example put a layer of electric tape on top of a led and you will see that its translucent. Years ago i built a pinhole "lens" for my Canon DSLR and had to use a cooper strip to block the light
i have never felt so surprised
