Breakthrough! Scientists Create and Capture Antimatter

[//r00t 4 Jazz]

Haha. We've got a winner, folks.

Oh I was too late, I was going to guess the same thing but call it Vinyl

hospitals dont want a ruca for cancer, they want ruca's to keep coming back for treatment

That.

 

[ruca]

Since there is no significant natural source of anti-matter, ultimately it will never be more than a really compact storage device for energy generated by other means.

Many doctors lose loved ones to cancer. The idea they don't want a ruca for canceer is just ignorant.

not doctors, the hospitals and investors in hospitals. and not individually because of course theres a ruca load of exceptions. as a collective

Those investors will also be losing a lot of loved ones to cancer. In fact, the exceptions are the ones who won't lose people to cancer. It's still an ignorant and poorly-thought-out idea.

It would be really cool if the time/money/energy spent working on this stuff was spent on something like curing AIDS or cancer or something. Reminds me of the Seinfeld bit about the scientists who work their whole lives to develop the seedless watermelon.

That's a pretty ignorant statement. I know you are probably being sarcastic, but I can't let that one go. Do you realize how many people and how much money goes into cancer and AIDS research? Thousands and thousands of scientists and hundreds of millions of dollars go to researching these things. This group at CERN is specifically funded to research the chemistry and nuclear aspects of our world. You think these scientists have any idea how to research cancer and AIDS? Probably not. #agreewiththe-joker
