Excuse my almost complete lack of knowledge of physics but when you say it is possible to create matter from energy but you must separate the particle/antiparticle pair is this not similar to what happened after the big bang and did that not result in an asymmetry of particle/antiparticles, at least as far as we can tell? Could it be that there is some other way to either separate the particle pairs or create particles sans antiparticles that does not require a complicated apparatus? Perhaps the EmDrive somehow approximates the conditions of the early universe in some miniscule manner.
Honestly, I'm clutching at straws but I can't believe that the only way to create matter from energy is with some complicated device since the existence of the universe seems to say otherwise. As an example, compare our attempts at creating fusion with the 'solutions' that nature has come up with.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoThe open question abut the universe here is where did all that missing antimatter go? Because we can't find it so far. EmDrive could hint at an answer, but on the other hand it also could not. We need to figure out what's going on with the drive (and whether it really isn't an error) to be sure. > compare our attempts at creating fusion with the 'solutions' that nature has come up with Well, if you just want to have a nature-like fusion, we've figured that out in the 40s and made it work in the 50s ;). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapon#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapon#History Our attempts at fusion are now focused on getting useful energy out of it without incinerating everything around the reactor.
