: In the buble chamber it bind's with an atom.
: In the Penning trap:
: << The truth is that still many questions are open about what
actually happens is such a Penning trap. Experiments are underway to
: test a new approach in a nested Penning trap of 'stimulating'
antihydrogen formation with laser light.
: Yet another approach has surfaced lately for making antihydrogen:
recombination due to fast switching electric fields. The principle
: is to distort the Coulomb potential of the antiproton by adding an
electric field. The electric field results in lowering the
: potential on one side ('saddle point') of the antiproton and
increasing it on the other side. Positrons that approach the saddle
: point can be bound for some time with reduced energy. If one
switches the electric field off during that time, the original Coulomb
: potential restores again (increases on the side of the saddle
point), and the positron can be captured if it is of low enough
: energy. >>

Let me know when they make the antihydrogen bomb, I'll find another

gravitational and magnetic flux lines, wouldn't it be more correct to
say
: they are all aligned to the same degree, assuming the laboratory's
exciting field produces a homogeneous flux density? If you
: accept that our planet's axis is aligned to the north star in spite
of it's wobble... then I think you could say that.

Well yeah... the wobble having a 25,000 year cycle I'm not all that
bothered.
If I lived in the late neolithic or early bronze age I might still be
tempted to construct a henge aligned to the sun rising through a notch
in the hills and
leave it to you lot to figure out why you thought I had it wrong.

What we do know is that archeologists use ancient fires and geologists
use
ancient lava deposits to date events based on the magnetic alignment
of materials. This is making use of the magnetic poles wandering.
Sea floor spreading is deduced from mirrored reversals of the rocks,
and the indication that the Earth's field reverses occasionally.

: "whole clusters of galaxies" isn't my idea of a high quality vacuum.

It isn't? I'd call the space 10 feet above the surface of the moon a
good quality vacuum, interstellar space a great quality vacuum and
interGALACTIC space a super-duper-best-you'll-ever-get ultra high
quality vacuum. I guess there's no pleasing some people.

Thar is plenty of stuff in that pitchure for the little Coulomb
: creatures to shake hands with, slowin' em down.

Thar's a whole lot more nothing than stuff in them thar pitchers.

: You are not the one ask, :o) because you have visions of magnetic
loops licking out across space like a frog's tongue, but take the
: other side of that notion for a moment eyeball these:
:
http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/polarizedlight/emwave/electromagneticwavefigure1.jpg
: animation:
http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/polarizedlight/emwave/
: From: http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/polarizedlight/emwave/
:
: Now... we know most of these illustrations are incorrect wrt
amplitude as few show any path loss ( 1/d^2).
:
: And you have pointed or the phase error in one like:
:
http://www.cheniere.org/books/excalibur/nature_of_an_electromagnetic_wav.htm
: Which is incorrect for both amplitude and phase.

You can clearly see in the animation that ZERO energy is arriving at
the detector, alternating with double energy.
By phase-shifting the E and B fields the energy is constant.

It should be like this:
 http://www.androc1es.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/CorrectWave.JPG

(Excuse my rough drawing.)

I accept conservation of energy. I KNOW that current and voltage are
NOT in phase as the diagram shows them to be in the animation.
cos^2 + sin^2 = 1, straightforward Pythagoras. No magical aether
required.
Transmitters are designed to radiate energy. Transformers are designed
to contain it. We don't put great lumps of iron around antenna.

: But try to imagine one of these stretched between emitter and
detector (material objectes composed of spinning entities throught a
: perfect vacuum. Is there any observational evidence that the B field
can even exist more than few wavelengths from the emitter or
: detector?

Yes. We can communicate with Cassini which is orbiting Saturn and the
wavelength is less than 9.5 AU.
1/d^2 applies, UNLESS you focus the signal into a beam. Then you can
throw it away. There's a good reason to put a parabolic dish on the
wrong side of the antenna.

Can't it diminish to zero in a few wavelength then reconstitute itself
as it approaches[1] the material detector?

Yes, if it driven by the E-field which is at a maximum when the
B-field
is zero, because then neither is zero at the same instant and both
diminish
to zero (twice) in ONE wavelength. If BOTH are zero at the same
instant
then energy is either not conserved or stored in aether.

When the B field hits the antenna, it drives a current up the pole.
That current is in phase with the B-field. It will cease when the St
Elmo's fire sparks away from the antenna tip. There is a time delay,
just as charging a capacitor. We talk about the "time constant" of an
RC circuit. Current leads voltage. The reason sal thought the signal
was arriving before it was sent
is the current leading the voltage. He'd have a time machine if he
could really get it to work that way.

:
: To say that the B field exists, absent any matter "seems" to
obligate the proponent to identifiy some property or mechanism of
: empty space which can perform the same 90 degree translation that
spinning entities perform in a fashion we have a pretty good
: understanding of.
:
: IOW, where are the "spin faries", Virtaul Particle foams and ether
grids? Would Newton say these are some more unnecessary parts
: that we can leave out of the design?

The "spin fairy" is the rotating constant energy (radius) vector.
If those diagrams were correct, the E and B fields would contain the
energy as compressed aether.
Newton would definitely reject virtual particles, and we know he
rejected aether.

Newton created the mathematics needed to describe Nature. That
demonstrates true understanding.
People like sal and Andersen stare at equations others have misused
(notably Einstein) and try to make Nature behave the way those
equations say it will. Nature doesn't care.
Andersen is an "assistant professor" teaching students from a book,
explaining what the author meant, whether the author was right or
wrong. sal is a self-confessed failed hardware engineer, and the
reason for his failure is his lack of understanding of physics.
