For Star Trek fans interested in antimatter and positrons, this is an interesting article of the real life pursuit of antimatter weapons and engines by the USA Air Force.

And this ominous conclusion from one of the scientists:

Besides, Lynn is enthusiastic about antimatter because he believes it could propel futuristic space rockets.

"I think," he said, "we need to get off this planet, because I'm afraid we're going to destroy it."

WTF?? Antimatter? Who needs that???

Someone should tell these guys to get off their lazy asses and build me a replicator. I'm sick of cooking.

And while they're at it, put all the skinny people working on the project (especially the ladies) in skintight one piece suits. Now there's a project that governments should be investing in......

I knew you were an "anti-matter" guy! I prefer matter, so in keeping the balance of the universe you should be opposite!
