antimater matter

Everything in matter  we know including our bodies is made up of cells that are made up of molecules that are made up of atoms. Atomic particle are so tiny even with a powerful microscope to see them are like trying observe a bunch of marbles with a telescope dozens of kilometres away.

The default model of the atom is made up of tiny orbiting particles called electrons orbiting a central core that is made up of  bigger particles called protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit the two central particles (Nucleus) 95% light speed.

Atomic particles have the properties of electrical charge. Electrons have a negative charge while the central proton has a positive charge. The neutron has no charge at all.

We have all discovered at one time or another playing round with two magnets they not only cling together but also discover repel each other. If a bar magnet is suspended freely in a sling it will aligning itself one end North and one end South. The invisible magnetic fields surrounding each end are attracted to the earth's magnetic poles moving the mass of the magnet like a compass.

One end is attracted pulled to the North pole while the other is repelled pushed away from the South pole aligning across the North and South pole direction. One end is North seeking and the other South seeking where we have N and S seeking magnetic poles in every magnetic filed.

In the same way the negative charge (-) electrons are repelled by the negative charge electrons attracted to the positively (+) charged protons. The like repel and unlike attract law. The forces work together electrons repelling electrons attracted to protons like nails flying to a magnet. This is the property of matter.

Anti matter is a mirror image of matter but electrons are positive, and protons are negative while the neutron remains neutral. The repelling forces is the key to understand how mixing matter and antimatter is so dangerous to each other.

When we mix antimatter with matter it is a case of the same electrical charges occupying the same spaces at the same time. By the unlike attract law the negatively charged protons repel the negatively charged electrons. So too the positively charged protons repel the positively charged electrons.

The consequences of the forces of the repulsions scatter the particles on a light speed scale turning into a colossal amount of light speed scale energy.

In 1964 NBC TV station studios planed a brand new science fiction TV series called Star Trek. Scientific advisers suggested the use of the ships engines make use of the power of mixing antimatter with matter to propel the Enterprise to light speed in an instant called warp drive.

The theoretical concept solved an accelerating engineering problem. Isaac Newtown's 3rd law of force and motion states where there is a force (acceleration acting on  a body) there is an equal and opposite force pulling back on the acceleration we commonly express as G's resisting acceleration expressed as the inertia of the accelerating body.

In terms of the System International (SI) units equivalent of feeling weighed back by several kilograms (or pounds if you like) force. In scientific notation any force reference is given in Newtown's.

If the Enterprise was accelerated to light speed in a second  in the zero resistance of out of space the mass would generate so much pull back force would only be capable of a maximum speed less than a percent of light speed. It wouldn't go any faster. At maximum speed the acceleration is terminated to a constant velocity. Terminal velocity has energy of moment called Kinetic energy.

The theory was if an injection of antimatter was introduced to matter the powerful repelling forces generate an equivalent pull forward force on the mass of the Enterprise. Effectively a reversal of the pull back force. It was theorized way back in 1964 the mass of the enterprise would be aided by the interaction of matter and antimatter in the generation of the forward puling force instead of the hindrance of the pull back force. In the pull forward force the Enterprise would be no more heavy with kinetic energy than stationary allowing it to accelerate to 100% of light speed with out being any heavier with kinetic energy. (Or as G's as we know it if you like)

In theoretical terms if Star trek warp drive and Star wars hyperspace drive travel is anything to go by projects space travel for man kind using antimatter matter mix engines is assured as opposed to using wormhole travel.
