Scientists have identified two specific reactions between antimatter and normal matter that could help make interstellar travel a reality. The authors of a new study believe that using an antimatter rocket engine, which produces 300 times more energy than thermonuclear fusion in the Sun’s core, will make flights to nearby stars a reality. And it will be possible to reach these stars in a few days. According to scientists, antimatter rocket engines are an innovative technology that deserves more attention. After all, with the help of such engines, it will be possible to significantly speed up flights between different planets of the Solar System, as well as very quickly reach the stars closest to us. At the same time, scientists believe that such a flight could take from several days to several weeks. This is simply incredible, given that modern technologies provide that such a flight will take hundreds of years. Antimatter consists of antiparticles. That is, they are analogs of particles of ordinary matter, having the opposite charge. When particles of antimatter and ordinary matter meet, they destroy each other. As a result, a huge amount of energy is released, into which the combined mass is converted. This destruction of particles is considered the highest-energy reaction in known physics. The study’s authors concluded that for a future antimatter rocket engine to operate efficiently, two types of particle annihilation reactions must be used. In the first case, it is possible to use the interaction and subsequent destruction with the release of energy of antiprotons and protons with neutrons. Antiprotons are particles of antimatter. Scientists believe that in this case, the reaction of the destruction of antiparticles and particles is very stable and a lot of energy is released to create thrust and, accordingly, to create superfast speed. It is also possible to use the reaction of the destruction of positrons and electrons. Positrons are antiparticles of electrons. This reaction is also very effective. Many antiparticles are unstable, and during long flights in space, it is necessary to keep antimatter in a stable state for a long time. Therefore, the above antiparticles were chosen. According to scientists, when normal matter and antimatter come into contact, they convert their mass into energy during annihilation, resulting in an energy density equivalent to 9 x 10¹⁶ J/kg. This is 300 times greater than that produced during thermonuclear fusion in the core of the Sun. One of the advantages of the antimatter engine is that approximately 70% of the energy released from the destruction of antiparticles and particles can be used to propel the spacecraft. Antimatter is difficult and very expensive to create and store. But it takes a lot of it to power innovative rocket engines. The authors of the study believe that antihydrogen could be used as fuel for antimatter engines. It is the simplest antimatter atom, stable, easy to produce, and can be stored for a long time. But antihydrogen production is still in the early stages of development. The post Antimatter Rocket Engine Will Help Fly To The Nearest Stars In A Few Days appeared first on Anomalien.com.

If there’s any company that nails narrative-focused action games, it’s Sony. The return of Kratos in 2018 led to God of War earning the coveted Game of the Year, and its follow-up, God of War Ragnarok, received similar acclaim when it launched back in 2022. Fortunately, the finale of the Norse duology dropped on PC earlier this year, and it’s currently available at its lowest price yet.

Reality is a matter of perspective, and perspectives can shift. Under normal circumstances, shifting perspectives have a more subtle, esoteric effect on your reality, but these effects are far more tangible in the virtual world.

In late 2022, LastPass suffered a major security breach that, to this day, is still haunting the company and its customers. Now, a new crypto heist has also been linked to that breach. According to blockchain sleuth ZachXBT (via The Block), around $5.36 million has now been stolen from over 40 victims' wallets that are linked to the 2022 hack. “Stolen funds were swapped for ETH and transferred to various instant exchanges from Ethereum to Bitcoin,” ZachXBT wrote in his Telegram group message. In early 2023, LastPass started telling customers about this hack, which eventually led to others. At that time, the company said that “a backup of customer vault data from the encrypted storage container which is stored in a proprietary binary format that contains both unencrypted data, such as website URLs, as well as fully encrypted sensitive fields such as website usernames and passwords, secure notes, and form-filled data.” However, the data breach was way worse. LastPass parent company eventually revealed that the hackers didn’t just steal encrypted passwords from LastPass consumers. They also downloaded encrypted backups from various GoTo products, putting the security of GoTo customers at risk. After that, ZachXBT identified two batches of cryptocurrency hacks in October 2023, which stole $4.4 million, and another in February, with a loss of over $6.2 million. Now, there's a new $5.36 million heist, which shows that the data breach might continue to haunt LastPass and its customers for a few more years. On an X post last year, ZachXBT wrote: "Cannot stress this enough, if you believe you may have ever stored your seed phrase or keys in LastPass migrate your crypto assets immediately." That said, the best way to protect yourself is to migrate from LastPass, change your passwords, and, change your seed phrase or keys from your crypto assets as soon as possible.
