i completely agree with SB, i think that we are at the cusp of something, they now have material to study that has never before been available.... ....and they're gonna shoot em with lasers. For the love of god, stop acting like a cock teasing virgin and just tell us what you think it is we are on the cusp of........ let me check my crystal ball..... what is so difficult about this? we now have a piece of the puzzle (the physics puzzle) that we never had, we can now study this piece and learn from it. i'm not an astro-physicist (nor do I play one on TV) but it looks to me as if science is poised to make some significant discoveries based on this newly available information

surprised it took you this long...

haha..me too in Featurecast's "auditorium mix" on soundcloud (about 15 min in)

for once, skidders has a point. You haven't called anybody a boring cunt lately have you ? LM in "i don't understand , so i will make disparaging remarks" shocker!! while I can understand that you may genuinely not be interested in the topic, the fact that anti-matter (or rather the storage and stockpiling of anti-matter) has only been theoretical until now, makes this one of the most significant scientific milestones of the last 100 years Aye ok. So apart from 'understanding', what actual everyday use is this going to achieve? Good question really from any layman. I read both links and kept thinking........And. I even started to reply twice and thought, fuck it. But as its got going, what is the point and is this research and experiments being carried out with a view to something at the end of it. Not dissing your interest in this btw. fair enough, but how are we to have practical plans for something we've only just now proven exists? i think this is similar: to science debunking the myth that the earth is the center of the universe. or newton's laws. or the theory of relativity. It's interesting because its pushing the envelope of how we perceive the universe, and eventually will lead to more mundane everyday applications of this greater (hopefully) understanding. Thats the bit Im missing tbf. I gather from the article that anti matter used to exist before the big bang and that after the big bang it dissappeared, I just wasnt sure why they were trying to re-create it and what was driving the experiment? IE Was this leading to some great development or breakthrough. Straight forward enough questions I would have thought for a topic of this nature on a football forum. The centre of the universe example makes sense btw. agreed it's really just the tip of the iceburg with this field of study, when looking at the young universe they have all these existing theories of what happened and how it happened, and then when they look at what we have now all the theories fall apart. if they can determine a unifying theory for physics who knows what applications it would have for the everyday experience. personally i'm hoping for flying cars.... Having just had a quick google around I now realise that the Starship Enterprise is powered by an antimatter engine. Now Tooner if you had included this fact in your opening post you would have saved a lot of time. more of a Lucas fan than a Roddenberry fan tbh.....but yeah, and apparently some outfit in arizona has plans for this type of engine.

well maybe if it was more useful ....we'd have one by now

...... you're probably right, why would we want to understand how the universe works? That's what I asked! ...i find it "shocking" that you are that thick.

.....considering it may well prove to be the early days of a unifying theory in physics, yeah its pretty fascinating

fuck! average again!

Naaaaaaaah, divnt wanna be cloggin the place up with polls we could have a poll for who's "shocking" thread gets the most posts, yours or mine ? Why, when we could just read how many replies there is? we could see how many posts there are....a better idea would be to see how many posts by other people there is....errr, are We could see how many there is, too i am disappointment in your grammar.....

I haven't lost shit. I'm confident that the ongoing poll will end in my favour. Tom...please lock that thread, ASM's misplaced optimism is even more pathetic than his shit sense of humour

I don't hate you, I find you amusing. I like cheeky cunts, but there's a fine line between being cheeky and bullying imo even in a forum sense. Gerraway man stevie, leazes brings it all on himself. He purposely makes provocative posts begging for a reaction and continuously posts the same thing even though almost every member on here has told him they're sick of it. And yet you keep replying to it. As well as replying to his own thread four times when everyone else has ignored it. All I said was perhaps it would be better for everyone if he and Leazes put it each other on ignore and he bites like the childish twat he is where Leazes didn't feel the need to. ASM 0-1 Leazes For me. What was the crowd? Several bemused onlookers. ...indeed

unless i've been drinking and posting, i would say any of what i've posted to any of you.

there i fixed it for you, now it looks like a place and not biblical term. Sorry for that I can see how that may have confused you.....

Fuck off boring cunt.nhows it even about me. It's been gemmill for days now. Seriously, didn't this retard get the fucking boot? What's the point in Thunderdome if the loser doesn't get the boot? Did you just bold a touchscreen typo? You sad little fuckrat, you sad, sad little fuckrat ....no i was highlighting why it was about you.....do try and follow along Where are you from? 2/1 on Sweden or something .....you've got to be the slowest person on here....which is saying something considering Kevin continues to not get the hint He's a better poster than you are and isn't afraid of saying where he's from either. ...not helping yourself at all numb-nuts, says where i'm from on every post
