yfw you realise you are made of antimatter moving backwards in time.

How does that effect cause and effect?

>>5470186
it doesn't effect cause and effect, it causes cause and effect

>>5470186
>>5470188

the verb is affect you retards

>>5469517

What? Where is your evidence for this?

Obvious philosophical bullshit. The cause comes first not the effect. Go to >>>/x/.

The idea that antimatter is just matter with negative proper time isn't really too strange if you think about it. To simply demonstrate the idea, consider Coulomb's law between two like charges of equal magnitude:

<div class="math">m\frac{dv}{dt}=kqq/r^2</div>
If we "reverse time" where <span class="math">t\rightarrow -t[/spoiler] (you can think of it as playing a movie backwards), then we get:

<div class="math">-m\frac{dv}{dt}=kqq/r^2</div>

But this is exactly the same law that governs the force between two *opposite* charges of equal magnitude:

<div class="math">-m\frac{dv}{dt}=kqq/r^2 ~\Leftrightarrow ~m\frac{dv}{dt}=kq(-q)/r^2</div>.

With the "movie analogy" this is obvious: if we record what happens when we place two like charges near each other and then run the movie backwards, it looks exactly like what we would find if we place two opposite charges near each other (well, over small distances at least).

>charge conjugation operator

The transformation of “Charge Conjugation” is somewhat of a misnomer: the transformation C is defined as a full switch in sign of all discrete additive quantum numbers of particles: Baryon number, Lepton number, Isospin, Strangeness, Charm, etc., as well as Charge (but
NOT the space-time properties like mass, momentum, spin; and NOT parity which is a multiplicative q.n.). In this way, C transforms a particle into its anti-particle: e.g. C|p〉 =⎯|p〉, C|π
−
〉 = |π
+
〉, C|e
−
〉 = |e
+
〉, etc. Particles and antiparticles have exactly the same masses.
Note that only the neutral objects (in the general sense of having zero charge, isospin, baryon-number, etc.), i.e. mesons (⎯qq states) like π
0
,
ρ
0
, ϕ, ω, J/ψ, or particle-antiparticle systems like e
+
e
−
or ⎯nn are actually eigenstates of C. For example, for charged objects C and Q do not
commute:
CQ C q q q q q q q q q = = − = − = − − ⇒ = , and QC Q , [ , ] 2 C Q CQ (I.67)

"I theorise that dark matter and dark energy are just atoms and photons turned inside out by passing under a magnet in certain circumstances, which reverses the polarity of their electron clouds."

Dark matter is very simple to understand.
