First Antimatter Atom Is Trapped

From wikipedia:

At the current level of production, one gram of antimatter would cost $100 quadrillion and would take 2 billion years to produce.

thats what they said about the macbook air when it first was discovered.

so now that antimatter has been trapped,how long before we see them in zoos? also how long before AMILF (Anti Matter LIberation Front) starts protesting and holding release the antimatter rallies?

i heard someone stole it and they just called long-haired tom hanks to reveal the illuminati and try to get it back before it explodes.

I thought antimatter was just something invented for Dr Who. And what are those barcodes for?

unobtanium

I thought this article was interesting. Looking forward to more Physics based threads.

 

So obviously aliens are just anti-matter beings and thats why we havn't run into them yet cuz if we tried to shake hands they would blow up the universe?

YES

How would it be weaponized anyway? It has to be stored at the collider facility, right? What kind of bomb casing would you use, if it can't be matter?

like a fool it's in a cage.

best IRL lol of the thread. I didn't even get the song reference at first and already lol'd.

Now I must listen to the song and imagine it's sung from the perspective of the atom.

Fair enough the Death Star could house the LHC.

nice.

Gone from trapping antimatter for a split second to 16 minutes

Yes!

If anything does happen on 2012 if it does or not I hope its not antimatter related,

I dont want aliens in a spacecraft avoiding us like some kind of galaxy exclusion zone cus the human race on earth managed to fuck up the space time continuum when they tried to have sex with antimatter because we figured out a way to stop it.

Its travling at that speed for a reason so us the human race cant molest its secrets

Your fears are justified, Craig Anderson.

pretty sexy anti-anti-matter stance, craig

light is far more dangerous because nothing can travel faster than light in vacuum, we should stop using light!

LIGHT

o brave new world.

next time maybe we'll do it essines way since he asked so nice

Ha, troon made me lol.

Antimatter can be used for more things than weapons. Think of the electric power capabilities. This would be more efficient than Fusion energy.

Edit: Fucking christ WATMM, you're a bunch of paranoid lunatics. Trapping anti-matter is a fantastic achievement, and all you can think about is, OH NO HUMAN RACE IS BAD WE ARE GONNA BLOW UP THE GALAXY.
