New Results in Science! And B.T.S. - Dianna talks to Elisa about Antimatter

Hello everyone! This is something fun Dianna wanted me to share with you guys. Years ago we did a video visiting the Antimatter factory at CERN and Elise had discussed how they try to test and see how antimatter reacts to gravity.

And just a few years later, physicists confirmed the theory! Read about it here - https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03043-0

The video above is the moment in the interview Elise discussed them conducting this experiment.

I always feel something in my brain when I listen to Dianna explain stuff and ask the same questions I am thinking of - it’s either my brain is hurting or growing - not sure which :)

I can't even concentrate on what is being said in this video right now. I still can't get over just now finding out about Diana's health over the past year. It always seems like I'm the last to find out about things. I would like to thank Simone for the updates on Diana's health.

Hoping Dianna gets better. Rona ani't no trifling ***

Update: Here's what I've found online. Anti-helium nuclei (a pair of antiprotons with a pair of anti-neutrons) has been made, back in 2011, but I found no reference to the nuclei having associated with a pair of positrons to make an anti-helium atom; so far just the naked nucleus was made. I've found no references to heavier anti-atoms being made, beyond those anti-helium nuclei. Here's my source, by the way: https://phys.org/news/2011-03-physicists-antihelium-nucleus-heaviest-antinucleus.html#:~:text=As%20the%20plasma%20cooled%2C%20it,antihelium%2D4%20does%20indeed%20exist.

Thanks for adding to this! Hope the better moments start to get longer and more frequent.

So topical! I had read about the finding that antiimatter falls under gravity the way matter does, and discussed it with one of my physics professors, and vroom, Diana shows an interview about that very subject! Now I have to look up whether anti-Helium or anti-Lithium has been made.... Thank you team Diana for sharing the video! I hope Dianna can return to making such videos sooner rather than later.

Jean-Philippe Suter

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this background information.

Lynn Napier

Wouldn't that be amazing if antimatter repelled regular matter, making antigravity a possibility. It is wonderful that there are still fundamental physics phenomena yet to be discovered. But more than anything the principal discovery I really want is to hear about is that Dianna is recovering significantly!

William L Dimpfl

OMG- exactly why we all need Dianna back! Please, we need you! Wishing you the best and that you get this malady turned around soon. So sorry this happened to you.

Robert Harney

Dianna was explaining how a photon was created in a distant galaxy some number of billions of years ago, then it traveled to Earth, and disappeared on your retina. It was a great bit of science education. Is it possible to find that reference? Someone else, I mean. My efforts have been fruitless.

Appreciate this! One possibility I see, (non-scientist here), is that much of the possibly missing Anti-Matter is the source of Dark Matter... I cannot emphasize how much of a non-scientist I am... A smattering of knowledge, little to no training/school... So please do not laugh at my idea, say, no, or whatever...

Perhaps, Kyle, you can remind Diana of a great physicist, by the name of Stephen Hawking, had a severe disability and while yours is profound and as debilitating perhaps in effect, we all have hope that you are able to overcome it, and come back to be the great teacher of us all you had been before and should be again. My hope is the chaos that is your long COVID life will become an ordered existence overtime and you will unlock, as your destined to do, the great secrets of our universe and help us understand them which is more than I can say for many of the people who make the discoveries.

Jay Kean

I'm so glad that Dianna had the opportunity to show us some background to this amazing discovery.

The Reverend Bluejeans

Maybe we should put out the video about the theory of everything now, so that it gets discovered in a few years 😉

Kieran Le Cam

Thinking like a physicist :)

Kieran Le Cam

That’s so cool!!

Carolyn

Too cool! Maybe some anticovid matter will come along and annihilate Dianna’s long covid.

Jill

Being alone feels impossible. My heart goes squish for you, Dianna, and for all y’all family and friends.

Jill

Hope to see her back in the flesh in real time, soon.

David Collin

That is so cool! Dianna on the ground floor as real discoveries are about to be made! Dianna needs to be back in the thick of things, and God willing that will happen soon!

Alan Kobb

Pure warm fuzzies are wished, cold pricklies banished to the Outer Limits. Should you not know, there was a recent experiment done, verifying gravity on antimatter seems the same as gravity on matter: https://www.space.com/gravity-affects-matter-antimatter-similarly

Sending my very best wishes as well! I really hope you will get better Dianna! Kyle, I send my best wishes as well, I hope you get through this and I know that you are doing fantastic work!

Christian Ludwig

Thank you very much for the update.

Wynter

Sending healing wishes your way, Dianna! We miss you!

JAMES CALLAHAN

Hoping this is the beginning of a path out of this!! Thinking of you Dianna and Kyle!

steve crandall

It was because of Diana's vid that I even knew this experiment was going on, and when I saw the report that there was a result, I was sharing it around!

Mark Ping

You all are forever welcome ❤️ And we all love you Dianna ❤️ And get better soon ❤️

Vaughan W Mitchell

Thanks for the updates! Let her know we are hoping for her recovery! She has a lot of fans rooting for her. Continued strength to both Diana and Kyle during these trying times.

Jack Baker

I have always wondered if they can tell if something is antimatter from billions of lightyears away. If not then there might be galaxies that are purely antimatter. Definitely not a place to visit.

Alex Taylor

Wishing Diana Continued improvement in her health... keep the healthy eating lifestyle, it saved my life 22 years ago. . .looking forward to when Diana will be fully recovered!!

Lane Pilbin

All of my knowledge about antimatter has come from your videos. Thanks for bringing us so much great science knowledge over the years. And sharing these old interviews is great. Keep them coming if you can.

Alex Taylor

(Team typing) - HEALTH UPDATE - As I said last time Dianna's crash was brutal but it's technically getting slightly better over the past month. She's incorporated more nuts and a couple berries into her diet. She's been sad as usual, being stuck in her room. I wish I had more to update on. We are planning something and currently working on a small project we will announce at some point. In the meantime, thank you for supporting us. It's still a battle for her and Kyle every week.
