My New Study Using Only the Ten Hundred Words People Use the Most

I study tiny things, which make up matter.  The tiny things I look at are not matter.  

Both matter and not matter are made up of tiny pieces smaller than the tiny things.  There are two kinds of heavy tiny pieces, and one light tiny piece.  For our study, we look at the easiest tiny thing.  It is made up of one heavy piece, and one light piece.

We use a machine to stop the not matter tiny things and then look at them using light, and radio waves.  My new study will be to write computer words that use space waves to control the new stopping machine.  The new stopping machine will measure not falling force – the way not matter acts under the falling force.


Translation: I study atoms, which make up everything.  The atoms I look at are anti-matter.

Both matter and anti-matter are made up of tiny pieces smaller than atoms.  There are two kinds of heavy nucleons (protons and neutrons), and one lighter electron.  For our research, we use the simplest atom.  It is made up of one proton and one electron (anti-hydrogen).

We use an atom trap to stop the anti-matter atoms and then look at them using light, and radio waves.  My research will be to write code that uses cosmic rays to calibrate the new atom trap.  The new atom trap will measure antigravity – the way that antimatter acts under gravity.

This post was part of my Knowledge Mobilization Course and was inspired by XKCD’s Randall Munroe.  It’s written in the style of the Up-Goer Five: you can do the same here.
