How did dust get in the way of the biggest announcement in cosmology? This video explores the life cycle of dust, from proto-star to Type II Supernova, to proto-planetary nebula. It's an awesome visualization of how worlds, and Nobel Prizes, are created and destroyed! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_cDcz90Shc

According to Einstein’s famous equation (E=mc^2), mass & energy are interchangeable. Nuclear fusion releases energy and light/heat. In fusion, the total mass of the new nucleus is lower than that of the two that formed it; the "missing" mass is given off as energy. So, mass can turn into light. But is the reverse process possible -- can light make matter? Collide photons together and you should get matter/antimatter particle pairs, right? We teach it to undergrads and it sounds like a plausible idea, sort of like "photon fusion"...but it turns out to be surprisingly hard to prove. What you might not know is the reverse effect -- converting light into matter -- was only recently confirmed a few months ago! It all starts back in 1935, when an unknown John Archibald Wheeler and his colleague Gregory Breit said "yes, photons can produce matter --electrons and positrons". In a fascinating announcement, the STAR experiment team at Brookhaven National Laboratory recently claimed the detection of matter/antimatter particle pairs produced when atomic nuclei collided, not from the nuclei themselves, but from the clouds of photons in the electromagnetic field surrounding the nuclei! Although the smashed-up photons made matter, you may wonder: are the photons ‘real’? The long-sought Breit-Wheeler process, in which two particles of light, or photons, crash into one another and produce an electron and its antimatter counterpart, a positron. But, as Emily Conover* says, it's "like a discussion from an introductory philosophy course, the detection’s significance hinges on the definition of the word “real.” Some physicists argue the photons don’t qualify as real, raising questions about the observation’s implications. Whether the observation truly qualifies depends on whether the photons are considered “real,” as demanded by the Breit-Wheeler process, or “virtual.” In particle physics, virtual particles are ones that appear only for brief instants and don’t carry their normal masses. You be the judge, real or fake? ? Watch my most popular videos:?
