They've been watching it...  Coming soon to hybrid gun shops near you.

It amazes me whenever we discover some new particle, or manage to contain some horribly unstable exotic matter for fleeting moments of time. The search for the Higgs Boson is pretty exciting to me, even though I don't understand much about physics of that sort.

I also love reading about paranoid doomsday scenarios involving exotic matter experiments that spill out of the lab and end up instaboiling the planet into a hot soupy blob of quarks and neutrinos.

If it turns out antimatter falls up. It'll change everything. Scientists are pretty sure it won't...but just think about it.

Cavorite?

The really fun one is the strangelet. If I understand it properly, it's a hypothetical particle that could potentially change anything it comes in contact with into more of itself.

Poof! There goes the world.

... Not very likely, though apparently some physicists thought it more likely than others. I'm not sure whether the argument's been settled yet.

More is known about them every day.

Thunder storms create antimatter.  We're playing catch-up to good old mother nature and father universe.

Also, technically nothing "falls", Nikita.   Poor, small-brained modern scientists and their primitive concept of "gravity".

Finally, anyone else a Stargate fan?  That picture at the top of the antimatter article looks suspiciously like a Zero-Point Module.

[Saede Riordan]

It looks a bit like it I suppose.
