PNS

I will check it out

Thanks

@Charlie

Maybe somebody will catch it later

@Charlie that's okay

I am newbie in the field really

I wanted some suggestions as to online resources for QFT

Anybody here

Hello

Thanks

@PM2Ring if I have any doubt I can ping you here right?

Anyway got to go, online classes start again at 13:45

😄😄

Even the people at Star Trek would have included more details than I did

I made a pretty vague design

And I set about to design an antimatter engine with just electrons and positrons. That really happened. Well, not practically, but on paper

Maybe we can only do stuff like this maybe thousands of years later, huh?

Oh, that's inevitable then🤔🤔

Even though they are harder to make in the first place?

Anyway if we use heavier particles, would be still get gamma rays?

The computer is not working since a hour or so

That is the problem. I am on the phone

What if we use something else like quark antiquark pair and proton antiprotons

But are gamma rays the only by products?

Exploration

But I have been getting into space expiration and things like that ever done I watched the new COSMOS series

@Philip yep, you are so correct!

It has to be used somehow, but if it does not react physically or chemically what does it actually do?

But what use is the inert reaction mass then?

Thanks

But then again, how much of that extra matter would we need? That just adds to the payload right?

Oh that's smart

Because the photons have a low momentum, and to get a large net momentum, you would need what maybe, metric tons of antimatter

And in that situation how much antimatter would we need?

I am sorry, but what is "reaction masS"?

*and sorry

Ans your idea of building habitats here is great, but we also need materials to do so

so how do we do that

which may tamper the apparartus

I mean, I am no experimentalist but when we conduct experiments we have to take care of some unwanted frequencies of light right

@PM2Ring is there any way at all that we can convert gamma rays into lower frequency ones?

I have interested in antimatter engines for a long time actually

@PM2Ring "engineering issues" can you elaborate?

which would require a ton lot of energy

for now the best option seems to be building a dyson sphere

yeah but harnessing it from earth would not get us enough

Even that would take us centuries.

@PM2Ring

@PM2Ringwe would need a very powerful source of energy to actually accomplish that, maybe if we could invent something to harness the energy of the sun, it could work (cough, Dyson sphere, cough)

@PM 2Ring thanks for the webpage
