Why can't I have an "anti-microwave" device that instantly freezes stuff by making the electrons slow down just as quickly? |
It is relatively easy to send out waves to excite molecules, but canceling them is much more difficult. That being said, this theory of robbing the electrons of their energy is being used now for ultra-cold laboratory tests. It just doesn't work as fast as microwave emission, and tends to cool things down to 5K.

I actually just took a course that covered the basics of string theory. The short version is that the strings vibrate on 11 dimensions of space, beyond human comprehension. The different vibrations create the different subatomic particles. We, being humans, cannot even see how the strings are vibrating, much less recreate them to our own means. However, moderns science has predicted the existence of dark matter which will do exactly what you are thinking. It is, by definition, the opposite of normal matter. When combined with regular matter it will annihilate with a great flash as all the matter and dark matter are converted into energy. This could, theoretically lead to a wormhole if you had enough dark and normal matter, but it would be the energy as opposed to the reaction that ripped the hole.
For more information, watch the elegant universe by Brian Greene, he talks a lot about the basics of string theory. It can be found here for free //www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/program.html |

I rented & watched that last month - very intriguing!
I have my own theories that are beyond human comprehension and all of them have yet to be disproven. None of them involve Hitler. |

I think you are confusing dark matter with antimatter. Dark matter is called "dark" because it doesn't emit or reflect light/radiation and antimatter is the opposite of matter in that it has antielectrons, antiprotons, and antineutrons. The latter would cause an explosion with regular matter.

Dark matter is dark because it is anitmatter. One of the biggest and most potentially useful aspects of anitmatter is that emits antigravitons, essentially pushing away everything else like normal matter attracts it due to gravity. This repelling force would make it very hard to observe in any way, including light and em radiation.

Davis, i think you may have your're "inclusions" wrong.
All anti-matter may be dark matter, but not all dark matter is anti-matter. See Higgs boson as a possible candidate for dark matter. |

Also, I may be misunderstanding your question but if you assume the curve is not closed, i.e. a line segment of length 1, then the area of the region covering it is 0.
Actually, now if you assume the curve is closed and want a smallest region that covers the interior of the curve then its the interior of the curve itself.
If you want, for a fixed length, the shape of the curve that will enclose the least area, then the answer is a circle. There is an explanation on wikipedia somewhere, but I am too lazy to find it. |

The curve can take any shape, so long as it's one unit in length. A circle will indeed contain it, but you'll find that you can improve on that by taking smaller regions and moving the curve around within it. |
