When you are traveling at or near the speed of light time slows down or even stops for you, so as far as the photons are concerned, distance is irrelevant by the photon's frame of reference.
What Anton is referring to in the peak is known as the annihilation peak. It's a well-known effect in gamma ray spectroscopy. When a positron and electron annihilate, you get 2 511 keV gammas. This shows up as a peak in the vast majority of gamma ray spectroscopy. There is also an opposite reaction, that when two gamma rays above 511 keV interact, a positron and an electron can be created.
Do you all usually fit e.g. a GRB spectra to a regular power law? I would be surprised if the binning actually smoothed out significant emission lines, as opposed to them going mostly unnoticed as statistical noise because a power-law would fit what I imagine is just a big Compton scattering continuum to the letter otherwise. I'm in X-ray so I don't know what you Gamma-ray people do.
I suppose it's just a coincidence that when light leaves mass it blueshifts to gamma in the decreased density of space. the wavelength is 11 dimentions in scale of 10 waves per second the frequency is above 30 10s of 2 8s . all gamma rays come from charged mass and mass needs 8pi to create gravity in einsteins field equasion.

A three-for! Proof aliens exist(ed), that anti-matter drive is possible, and finding a technological Fermi filter event, all at once! ;) First! Unless Avi Loeb beat us to the punch, of course.
I suspect that this event's only genuinely unusual aspect is that the emission jet was oriented very closely to Earth. If the beam is only a degree or so wide, then what we have been seeing in previous observations is the faint emission from the rest of the star and not the center of the jet.
The gamma ray beam (jets usually refer to matter) is collimated (meaning it does not spread out as it travels) and is about the diameter of our solar system.¹ This is why it remains powerful during its 2B year trip. ¹Dr. Stan Woosley, Professor of Astrophysics, UC Santa Cruz.
@@douglaswilkinson5700How can it keep itself together? That's an insane amount of accurate aim for each particle. And as a quantum field phenomenon I don't even see how the uncertainty in position wouldn't grow.
Antimatter explosion wouldn’t necessarily involve a typical GRB beam. It might have been a spherical emission of a titanic matter / antimatter explosion. Or it could have been an antimatter object that caused a GRB in the typical process.
There's a reason why antimatter was used as a power source for warp cores in Star Trek and why it's been proposed as a potential energy source of the future; it's 100% efficient. E=MC2 taken to its absolute limits. The entire mass of two particles; one matter and the other antimatter; converted entirely into energy.
@Stray-3C03 The ability and engineering to collect and utilize pure radiant energy is beyond our comprehension now. Trek seems to utilize a 'dirty' annihilation, creating a plasma to flow past the warp coils causing them to react to the field effects of said flow. It's all in the WTF realm, like this universe-crossing blast.
I proposed antimatter asteroids for FRBs when i was in College. The scientists told me to finish my degree. Haha. Their conclusion was that my hypothesis was good but that the frequency of the observation would be a gamma ray instead of a radio wave.
First, antimatter asteroids cannot be formed in our universe; second, yes, radio wave is too weak to form asteroids, observation frequency should be gamma ray. However, gamma ray is pure energy, had nothing to do with antimatter, or necessarily related to antimatter. Your proposal is an anti-logical imagination or wild speculation, had nothing to do with science. The scientist may have some sense, Babur not able to correct you. Sad.
Could you imagine being an alien nearby that event browsing on your alien phone and seeing a light getting brighter and brighter? "Ah fuck lads this is gonna effect the group cha-" *dies*
Obviously aliens shooting each other with antimatter lasers across the universe! Or Sayans fighting the god of destruction for fun. Seriously, imagine such a powerful beam of antimatter energy hitting another star or a planet or a black hole? Holy crap that would be amazing.
Not really powered by matter-antimatter interaction, particles accelerated by the jets interact with gas, both in the collapsing star and ejecta from its giant phase at nearly C, which generates gamma radiation and pair production, which annihilates to produce the characteristic spectra of those particles annihilation.
You're a very good educator. I haven't had astronomy classes since undergrad, and understood everything. I will always secretly hope that this was some ancient alien war, but remain impartial.

@@bjornfeuerbacher5514 But that doesn't solve any fundamental issue here. Creating them would need energy which would equate to the energy given off by their annihilation so at best you have moved the question from where do the positrons come from, to where does all this massive energy come from.

_Meanwhile, 2.5 billion lightyears away_ *Alien scientist:* Once I press this button, the antimatter power system will turn on, and we’ll have limitless free, clean and green energy! It’s foolproof!!
I do not fully buy this explanation. This is an extraordinary claim and therefor requires extraordinary evidence (thank you, Carl Sagan). I do not see such evidence here making us sure that this could not have been something else.
@@vapormissile why should they need to have an alternative explanation ready to go just because they don't think there's enough evidence to support a given explanation?
We currently produce positions in particle accelerators. It shouldn't be much surprising that an event so powerful that creates gama-ray burst would also be creating positions from particle collisions, and whose annihilation with electrons would create a well defined blue shifted spike.
Hello Anton, What do you think about the trumpets that people heard around the world and the use of the Cern collider, do you think this event could have effected the speed of the inner core of the Earth, turning? thought the noise sounded like something loud scraping together of something large that could be a noise that could then be distorted through the air depending where one is and the conditions?
Man, mastering producing, handling and utilizing antimatter would be great. I assume that would outperform fusion for energy production (I think that’s a safe assumption like by orders of magnitude, right?) and may allow us to traverse at least the solar system in reasonable amounts of time. Thanks Anton!
Could we use that as engine or thruster keep them cycling and recycling it look like using magnetic to pull at them make line to continue the loop kind like this &.
Great reporting as always Anton. Thx. This event was the brightest recorded because it was aimed toward us exactly right. The authors of the paper claiming that it's the most powerful explosion since the BB is clickbait. What this observation probably reveals is that the jet has a very small (in relative diameter) core element that carries the vast majority of the energy released, and that core is also the most long lived portion of the jet. All previous observations to date have been near misses, or grazing hits where the tightly focused core of the jet missed us. It's all a matter of orientation and perspective, which in this case was as perfect as we've seen to date. It's just like watching someone play with a pocket laser. If viewed from an oblique angle, it's kinda bright, but if it enters your iris, it's overwhelming. The matter/antimatter annihilation observation is new, but should come as no great surprise. We've been creating antimatter in our own accelerators for years, and these jets are created by accelerators on steroids, a thousand times over. The BOAT moniker has been driven into the ground and abused to the point of being meaningless. Supernovae have a maximum output constrained by the calculated mass limit of a star. GRBs are astrophysical jets that happen to be oriented more or less in our direction, but they've been presented in such a way as to suggest that the explosion would appear as bright if viewed from ANY other location in the universe, which simply isn't the case. That is to say, to an observer in another location that's not getting hit by that jet, they're going to say 'Meh... Just another supernova. No big deal'. Rant over. Sorry.
I read the article in Science, also, and wondered how wide was the beam -- as wide as our system, our galaxy, the local group? Gamma ray beams from a black hole spread with distance, meaning they get wider with time. Are we looking down the barrel or was this somehow directed in our general direction?

@oberonpanopticon 🤭😂 you're youth is hardly showing. Lorem ipsum. What era of the web do u think is 'old'. This isn't an ego contest, it's called intellect. And some people are willing to share when they are aware of limitions to other fields of study.
You will become mature in time, it's only a matter of understanding that your own beliefs and having rational thoughts; science deviates the mind from feeling.
To truly understand science is to know beyond the data. Starts with yourself and your ability to feel bad or challenged to begin with. No one is challenging you.
Even animals who more resemble self replicating bio machines than individuals, do indeed have individuality and emotions and even empathy, emotions and feelings are very important to mammals and other organisms that live in groupings in particular, additionally, I can prove with certainty I am indeed not made of antimatter, because if I did, the atmosphere would react with my skin and lungs, making me instantly explode in a massive fireball
I’ve heard of electron-positron annihilation in stars as a potential supernova mechanism, but a beam of those particles is new to me.
But where are the positrons coming from?
Uranus, probably.
Bananas! Lots of bananas!
They are created in the beam itself, by interactions between the particles in the beam.
@@bjornfeuerbacher5514 But that doesn't solve any fundamental issue here. Creating them would need energy which would equate to the energy given off by their annihilation so at best you have moved the question from where do the positrons come from, to where does all this massive energy come from.
@@ReivecS Yes, creating them neesd energy. Yes, the question where the massive energy comes from was moved. So what? No one in the scientific article ever claimed that this solves any fundamental issue.
It's admirable these rays from black holes seemingly stretch across the universe. (At least from earth's perspective.) Thank you Anton.
A GRB does not come from a black hole. It comes from a supernova explosion, which _results_ in a black hole.#
A quazar is simply an actively feeding black hole but not all the time. Two neutron stars merging might also create grb similar to gravitational waves made from merging supermassive black holes.
Would a theoretical “Death Star” be able to use something like this to destroy a planet? Or would it just heavily irradiate the target?
Yes
No. It might disrupt a planet’s atmosphere but it wouldn’t destroy a planet. Especially one with a strong magnetic field.
@@rolandthethompsongunner64 you're heavily mistaken about the effects of gravity due to the electromagnetic field. I'm not making judgement, just offering guidance to further understanding..
No, a realistic death star would be a giant particle accelerater. You could destroy a planet with a penny if you had one.
@@southsidedon9037 No you couldn’t. Even if you could propel a penny at say near light speed it would disintegrate on impact because it isn’t dense. You would need something made of a super dense material possibly like uranium or platinum. And even then it would have to be pretty large. Who is your science teacher?😂
Thank you VERY much Anton- 📡 GREAT work 🔭⚛️
Someone tried to make a warp engine 2 billion years ago and failed.
Nice to see clues to where, when and how all the antimatter disappeared

*Alien scientist:* Once I press this button, the antimatter power system will turn on, and we’ll have limitless free, clean and green energy! It’s foolproof!!
what process in a collapsing quasar produces antimatter?
Interactions between the particles in the beam produce electron-positron pairs.
(And BTW, this was not a "collapsing quasar".)
I do not fully buy this explanation. This is an extraordinary claim and therefor requires extraordinary evidence (thank you, Carl Sagan). I do not see such evidence here making us sure that this could not have been something else.
What do *you* think it was?
wait what about the linked articles/studies doesnt convince you?
what do you think it was and on what basis?
@@vapormissile aliens
@@ChrisValin-w6o you're gonna have to elaborate. Why should anyone think that?
@@vapormissile why should they need to have an alternative explanation ready to go just because they don't think there's enough evidence to support a given explanation?
Pretty cool. Cosmological SLAC..... let's get reanalyzing and see how common this is!
We currently produce positions in particle accelerators. It shouldn't be much surprising that an event so powerful that creates gama-ray burst would also be creating positions from particle collisions, and whose annihilation with electrons would create a well defined blue shifted spike.
We also detect their annihilation in solar flares.
Hello Anton, What do you think about the trumpets that people heard around the world and the use of the Cern collider, do you think this event could have effected the speed of the inner core of the Earth, turning? thought the noise sounded like something loud scraping together of something large that could be a noise that could then be distorted through the air depending where one is and the conditions?
Are the wave gamma when we detect them or when they're emitted?
In this case, both.
Man, mastering producing, handling and utilizing antimatter would be great. I assume that would outperform fusion for energy production (I think that’s a safe assumption like by orders of magnitude, right?) and may allow us to traverse at least the solar system in reasonable amounts of time. Thanks Anton!
Anton is a cool dude. Love the video man
Thank you Anton!
Thank you, Anton!
Whenever something bursts people take notice. Ollapsing stars are no exception.
Could we use that as engine or thruster keep them cycling and recycling it look like using magnetic to pull at them make line to continue the loop kind like this &.
it shows us how all things are connected
Great reporting as always Anton. Thx. This event was the brightest recorded because it was aimed toward us exactly right. The authors of the paper claiming that it's the most powerful explosion since the BB is clickbait. What this observation probably reveals is that the jet has a very small (in relative diameter) core element that carries the vast majority of the energy released, and that core is also the most long lived portion of the jet. All previous observations to date have been near misses, or grazing hits where the tightly focused core of the jet missed us. It's all a matter of orientation and perspective, which in this case was as perfect as we've seen to date. It's just like watching someone play with a pocket laser. If viewed from an oblique angle, it's kinda bright, but if it enters your iris, it's overwhelming. The matter/antimatter annihilation observation is new, but should come as no great surprise. We've been creating antimatter in our own accelerators for years, and these jets are created by accelerators on steroids, a thousand times over. The BOAT moniker has been driven into the ground and abused to the point of being meaningless. Supernovae have a maximum output constrained by the calculated mass limit of a star. GRBs are astrophysical jets that happen to be oriented more or less in our direction, but they've been presented in such a way as to suggest that the explosion would appear as bright if viewed from ANY other location in the universe, which simply isn't the case. That is to say, to an observer in another location that's not getting hit by that jet, they're going to say 'Meh... Just another supernova. No big deal'. Rant over. Sorry.
Fascinating. Thank you.
I read the article in Science, also, and wondered how wide was the beam -- as wide as our system, our galaxy, the local group? Gamma ray beams from a black hole spread with distance, meaning they get wider with time. Are we looking down the barrel or was this somehow directed in our general direction?
In another comment, a scientist was quoted saying that the beam was about as wide as our solar system.
I'm curious how much matter/antimatter has to react to do that
