Anti-matter Discovered

The Age of Discoveries continues thanks to ... Europe! Those crazy Europeans have managed to develop and fund CERN long enough for the discovery of antimatter to occur. It seems that 60 years after that ridiculous brain fart from Germany, Europe is regaining its place as the crucible of science and exploration.  All of those Florida technicians and engineers laid off as NASA boldly goes where everyone has gone before and the poor people at Fermilabs  must be shaking their heads and wondering at which point in the last 20 years the golden dream of exploration and progress was lost

  1. Well, if I read this right, the big to-do wasn't so much the discovery of antimatter (which has been known for a while to exist) as the successful containment of antimatter for over 16 minutes in a Star Trek-style electromagnetic "bottle."

    But you're right: it puts Europe back at the forefront of scientific progress, for sure.

    Meanwhile... TAKE THAT, DR. WHO! STAR TREK FOREVER!
