what would this imply?

Take a sledge hammer and smash the Crystal into dust. Suddenly the "law of conservation" is restored.

I know I am not a physicist. I just like smashing shit with hammers.

Me too. I just went and counted them. I have 21 hammers. Some are for carpentry, some for metal working. All work great on thumbs. Sad

It implies that scientists have discovered dilithium crystals and as soon as they get stable ant-matter production under way they'll start building the Enterprise. [Image: Eye_Roll.gif]

Had you read the article and the source material, you'd have seen that these seem to be very cool, but not terribly useful crystals. Of course, they may find use for them in future applications, but as of now, not so much.

Blush  Just my own nails. It was when I was building the forms for the raised perimeter foundation, and was using a 2 pound  hammer to drive the 16d nails, as I was getting impatient with the progress, using the 16 oz framing hammer. If you've ever hit your thumb with a 2 pound steel hammer, you know what I mean. My eldest son (age 5-ish) was playing in the yard when I hit my thumb. He turned and asked, "Daddy, why are you saying those words?". I was busy putting smudges in the air in my vicinity, so I didn't answer immediately. Sad part is, I had to keep working with that throbbing thumb. Fuck, that hurt. In those days I was programming in electromagnetic code. My speed was greatly reduced at the space bar...
