FACT

The world’s

Largest scientific research facility

“Coseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nuclear”

C.E.R.N.

(Built & runs the largest machine on the planet earth)

“C.E.R.N.” 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 sources known to man.

It releases energy with 100 per cent efficiency (nuclear fission is 1.5 per cent 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 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 C.E.R.N.  has now broken new  ground with it’s

New Anti-proton Decelerator

an advanced antimatter production facility that promises to create

antimatter in much larger quantities.

TWO QUESTIONS LOOM LARGE IN OUR FUTURE

1: Can this highly volatile substance be used by us to empower all Mankind?

YES!

2; Can we just sit around doing nothing? Waiting for this New Technology to click in?

Bearing in mind it can take up to 20 years from the Science to the Shop!

Take the case of “Carbon 60 ” Buckminsterfullerene  (the Buckyball) 

Discovered in 1985 and is only now becoming a usable technology, but still along way from being   turned into the every day super strong light product that was fore seen.

NO!

We have to start making some Changes Today

ARE YOU IN? or ARE YOU OUT ?

MY HOPES FOR THIS BLOG, IS FOR IT TO BE A TOTALLY OPEN FORUM THAT ALL VEIWS CAN BE POSTED & ARGUED WITH RESPECT.

 We would really like to receive posts from both sides of the fence!

So if you have a view to share? Get posting.
