I'm joining now!

I have two questions. One, why does this thread always die when an even numbered post is next, and two, how does the count get off so often? Take the number of pages minus one, multiply by twenty five, then add the posts on the most recent page.

Hey, no just posting numbers. That’ll get us closed down before we reach 99,999.

Actually this is a good point. Counting can be helpful but it isn't necessary at least until we get extremely close to the 100,000th post. 

 

In fact, counting might actually discourage posting in some cases since it seems to be so very far away before we reach 100,000. 

 

If instead we just chat about whether or not dark matter and antimatter exist in the cosmere, we'll surely reach the 100,000th post much faster. 

[Ascended Grubberfly He/Him]

Fair enough.

and I say anti matter exists since anti investiture exists. Yeah yeah correlation =/= causation but since matter = investiture it makes sense.

Whoa whoa whoa guys

Listen, does antimatter exist in our universe? If we want to.

Unless Brandon decides to solve the antimatter displacement problem, we're all good with that

and of course dark matter exists, but brandon wont be talking about it cause he doesn't know how it works either!

That, or Brandon is god, omniscient being of our universe

Pretty sure it does. And what do you mean: “if we want to”?

Highly doubt. Otherwise, why can’t I use A-Steel?

Theres this whole thing where like, there should be equal amounts of antimatter and real matter in the universe, but no one can find the antimatter. It's like, this whole symmetry problem. But we can make real matter and antimatter by smashing photons together really hard. So does antimatter natrurally occur in our universe? Yes if it counts when we make it, Maybe if it doesn't.

And I never said omnipotent, just omniscient. Also, have you ever tried?

What? Why would that be the case?

Fair point.

Well, see, matter can, in fact be created and destroyed. This is because when you smash photons together really really hard, you get no more photons, and one matter and one antimatter. And if you smash matter and antimatter together (or even get them close) they become photons again. At least I think, take this explanation with a grain of salt. So physicists were like, when the matter was created for the big bang, there must have been equal amounts of antimatter and normal matter in the universe (Cause you can't really make new normal matter without antimatter) but when we look around our universe, we don't see antimatter, and we don't really know how we would detect it, so it could be there, we just wouldn't know.

And yes, I would love to!

Fair point, but since I am personally iffy on the whole big bang thing, there is that one hole.
