FACT
T he world’s largest scientific research facility-Switzerland’s Conseil
Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN)-recently succeeded in
producing the first particles of antimatter. Antimatter is identical to physical
matter except that it is composed of particles whose electric charges are
opposite to those found in normal matter.
Antimatter is the most powerful energy source known to man. It releases
energy with 100 percent efficiency (nuclear fission is 1.5 percent efficient).
Antimatter creates no pollution or radiation, and a droplet could power New
York City for a full day.
There is, however, one catch . . .
Antimatter is highly unstable. It ignites when it comes in contact with
absolutely anything . . . even air. A single gram of antimatter contains the
energy of a 20-kiloton nuclear bomb-the size of the bomb dropped on
Hiroshima.
Until recently antimatter has been created only in very small amounts (a
few atoms at a time). But CERN has now broken ground on its new
Antiproton Decelerator-an advanced antimatter production facility that
promises to create antimatter in much larger quantities.
One question looms: Will this highly volatile substance save the world, or
will it be used to create the most deadly weapon ever made?
AUTHOR’S NOTE
References to all works of art, tombs, tunnels, and architecture in Rome are
entirely factual (as are their exact locations). They can still be seen today.
The brotherhood of the Illuminati is also factual.
