Angels and Demons


"Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown, is a story revolving around something called anti-matter. Anti-matter is the opposite of Matter, and when combined they create a huge explosion making it very difficult to work with. The great thing about Anti-matter is that it is 100% efficient, and can power a car for 100,000 years. The only problem involved working with Anti-matter is that it can't come in contact with matter, and so to store Anti-matter, it is placed in what is called a trap. A trap suspends Anti-matter in the air and doesn't contain any negative or positive charges, making it a safe place to view the Anti-matter. It is very expensive and is yet to be used in normal society. Anti-matter is so powerful that it can become a threat, or a weapon if it gets into the wrong hands. Hopefully in the future Anti-matter will be under control and we will be able to use its power for good. http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch/livefromcern/antimatter/FAQ.html
