/sci/ - Science & Math

This is quite interesting, /sci/. You might want to watch it.

Hoping you can help me find a certain scientist (or at least link me to the story I remember from school).

There was this scientist or chemist or whatever, and he worked in a really dark room for years. And then when he finally went outside, he saw really intense color in everything he saw (grass was really green, flowers really bright, etc). What was the name of that scientist?

If it's just a story, can you help me find it?

Is there any way of breaking down plastic into simple hydrocarbons that can be used as fuel? If not, why not?

He found a plot hole in a book. Big fucking deal.

I haven't actually taken classes in particle physics but I have skimmed through a couple of textbooks out of interest. However, I do know how science works. Science doesn't work by assuming that the current model is always correct. Science works by testing the current model to see if it is. At the moment, we have a model for gravitation that would imply that matter attracts antimatter at the same rate as it attracts matter. However we also have models with an asymmetry between matter and antimatter. For example, anti-neutrinos and neutrinos have different chiralities. (If I recall correctly neutrinos are left-handed, but I forgot.) There's also a neutral Kaon particle that can decay into either anti-matter or matter, but does so with unequal probabilities.

The CPT theorem guarantees that antimatter attracts antimatter like matter attracts matter. But we don't know about matter-antimatter attractions.

Stress-energy tensor?
