[/quote] No. Antimatter and matter annihilate producing gamma radiation. [/quote] THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTAIN ANTI MATTER [/quote] Wrong. There are multiple ways to contain antimatter dumbass. If there weren't any way to do so PET scan machines couldn't work as they require a supply of positrons to do the imaging that they do. Positrons are anti protons. The AF though has long since moved past needing to store them since they discovered a method of creating a beyond unity method of creating positrons on demand that causes a Cascade effect giving far more positrons than should be possible given the input power levels. There's nothing particularly unsafe about this experiment especially given the extremely tiny amounts of antimatter I question. It's amazing though how many people on here speak so authoritatively on subjects they obviously know fuckall about [/quote] I know "fuckall" about antimatter. Please explain what positrons have to do with this situation. Anti matter sounds scary but I dont believe its dangerous in this situation at all. Give some terrorists cell a modern day nuke and they still wouldnt be able to detonate it properly lol. [/quote] well we don't know what anti-matter they are using. but the "Positron[color=red][/color]" [b]is[/b] anti-matter. and it is the mirror image "partner" to the Electron. and since they carry a charge, they would fit nicely into a magnetic bottle. [/quote] THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF POSITRON a subatomic particle with the same mass as an electron and a numerically equal but positive charge. CLEARLY NOT ANTI MATTER [/quote] "CLEARLY NOT ANTI MATTER" [/quote]

"In a project that began last month, researchers will transport antimatter by truck and then use it to study the strange behaviour of rare radioactive nuclei."
