How is antimatter stored?

Posted: 06 May 2018 08:50 AM PDT

If antimatter explodes when in contact with normal matter, how is it stored? I'm guessing in a vacuum, but it must be in a container of some sort? And how do they move it? Do they use magnets?

What's the reason behind starting naming of electron shells from K, why not from any other letter?

Posted: 06 May 2018 08:31 AM PDT

Is it pure randomness or was there an actual reason? Similarly, why name the sub shells s,p,d,f?

How does poultry meat spoil/decompose differently than red meat? Isn't decomposing among all meats the same?

How is the Lorentz Factor in special relativity derived?

Posted: 06 May 2018 08:35 AM PDT

Specifically, can it be derived mathematically from the postulates of special relativity or does it require physical observation of space-time dilation?

Can an earthquake cause a volcanic eruption?

For instance, a major fault line in California near the Long Valley Caldera were to have a major tectonic quake, could it cause that caldera to erupt? (to the point that it's a super eruption, to be specific.)

What is the decimal interpretation of bit-wise AND, OR, and XOR?

Posted: 06 May 2018 09:41 AM PDT

Left and right shifts, that is < and >, can be easily interpreted as dividing and multiplying by 2. This is the same as shifting a decimal number, say 16, to the left. You multiply by 10 and get 160.

What would be a similar way to explain the numerical sense of AND, OR, and XOR operators?

Similarly, all three operators are binary operators, are there any similar decimal operators, even if theoretical?

Are there planets outside of galaxies?

Posted: 06 May 2018 01:54 PM PDT

Do we know of any planets that arent in galaxies or dont orbit stars? Could planets form this way?

How do electronics get through the ionosphere?

Posted: 06 May 2018 06:48 PM PDT

Hello there. I was just wondering how electronics on shuttles and other payload delivery vehicles exit the ionosphere without damaging electronics. Thank you!

Why does ice steam even when the air is warmer?

Lunar dust on Earth's moon is jagged because there is no weather to wear it into roundish shapes. But why is the surface dusty? Why isn't it one solid rock?

How long does it take to actually run an experiment on the LHC? {{physics}}

Posted: 06 May 2018 05:00 PM PDT

Ignoring any prep time and post run data analysis how long does it take the actual experiment to run, are we talking a few seconds or a couple of hours?

How does statistics arise in quantum mechanics, since the Schroedinger's equation is pretty deterministic concerning how a wave function evolves with time?

What is the CO₂ point of “no-return”?

Posted: 06 May 2018 01:07 PM PDT

We've heard of atmospheric thermal runaway happening when Carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gasses like water vapour, methane,...) concentrations increase; but specifically how many ppm will result in a breakdown in carbon capture? I feel knowing this is better than a doomsday clock as it finitely shows our proximity to irrecoverable peril.

Thanks!
