Antimatter Atoms Captured 476
Whamo writes: "Researchers at CERN think they have created and stored thousands of antiatoms in a particle trap. The researchers first used powerful magnetic fields to trap antiprotons then exposed this to a beam of positrons. Initial results indicate that at least some of the antiparticles have bound together to become neutral antihydrogen atoms. How cool is that?"

Around 9:30 last night a burrowing squirrel shorted out electrical lines causing an initial power surge followed by a blackout.
Experts believe that researchers had the magnetic containment field generators connected to a household UPS, which proved unable to keep the field in place.
The result of the containment failure has been described as being very similar to that of a "collapsing hrung." Unfortunately nobody has been able to identify what a hrung is, nor why one should choose to collapse on the CERN facility.

Hmmph. I've met quite a few "anti-me" types. The worst that ever happened was a black eye. That Hawking guy ain't so smart after all..

Not until we find a good source of dilithium crystals to control the reaction in the warp core.

Since you have a beard, you must be the evil one. Therefore, you may indeed find a good version of yourself that is clean shaven.
If this concerns you, just remember that evil always triumphs over good, because good is dumb.

Yep, the smallest virus would still be about twice as heavy as the cluster of antimatter atoms
