Anti-Matter at CERN
|
While some people are still sacrificing goats , scientists are creating anti-matter and photographing it annihilating with matter. They also are hitting anti-matter with lasers.

God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
Ah, been there
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

That is awesome.

Just so you get a better idea what Antimatter and Antimatter explosions don't look like in the slightest:
And here an interesting discussion which completely garbles what the Higgs boson has to do with Antimatter and the Big Bang And here an interesting visualization how the ATLAS experiment and the LHC don't work at all, although they added some hilarious inside jokes (such as the jab against heavy ion physicists) The footage is mostly real (the 100 meter deep vertical tunnel with the experiments at the bottom, and the general look of the experiment). But the control center is *not* next to the detector and looks a bit more pedestrian. Also, the LHC Detectors are not in principle able to collect antimatter. What a great movie. I love this movie.

That's how we know that they're scientists. Remember, they're not normal computers, they're sciency computers and therefore need to be used while wearing a white lab coat. But not sciency enough to require the use of gloves. I've never heard of Angels & Demons before, but I presume physicists laugh at it like geologists laugh at Armageddon. RE: Anti-Matter at CERN

Well, let's say it this way, if you'd sit down there in the cavern while the experiment is running as depicted, even a lab coat would probably not save you from being grilled (although the radiation level during operation isn't instantly deadly I think, just well above usual limits). The actual ATLAS control center as it is, overground, is mostly populated by grad students donning T-shirts

I never saw the film, but the book had so many scientific errors I couldn't finish it
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it! 
I was sufficiently able to turn my brain off to enjoy the books.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
